The Performing Mustache of Doom
One thing I may have neglected to add with all of this revenge-stache business is that my husband is a musician. Like performs. In front of people. Sometimes a decent number of people that are not aware that this "mustache" is a vendetta rather than a serious self-expression through facial hair. So this thing is going to be a bit of a problem as it's going to be given quite an audience this weekend. It's one thing to make a spectacle of yourself. It's another thing entirely to do it with a freakin' mustache. The walking Pint of Guinness was somewhat akin to a spectacle. That spectacle however, was actually pretty freakin' funny. This mustache thing is so not. For the sake of clarification, I must state that I do not necessarily have a problem with facial hair. I have a problem with THIS facial hair on THIS person as I am presently married to him and I suppose to the mustache by default. I've got to say that the marital bond must be on shaky ground if one party is so hell-bent on revenge that he's willing to go to these lengths. I wonder if there was anything in the pre-nup about facial hair. I sincerely hope so. But back to the matter at hand. He told me last night to "fear the 'stache". I don't fear the 'stache. I fear that if he gets on stage with that thing on his lip, he'll never work in this town again. "Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to Dave Christie and his performing mustache!!!! Give it up!!!!!". Oh, it's a "thing". Not because it's impressive as it's really not. It's more of a "what the hell is THAT" kinda "thing". It's a 'stache only a mother could love, really. Although it is my position that if his mother were aware of this recent turn of events, she would be horrified. I can hear it now......"David, what is that on your face? I'm very disappointed. I am". So am I, Mother B, so am I. Clear out your guest room because if this goes on much longer, you may well find yourself with a large Albanian with something he is passing off as a mustache on your doorstep. The moving van full of mustache grooming supplies will be close behind.
