We here at Stachist want you to have a great end to 2009.  But be safe, be careful, and please don’t wake up next to this lady stache:

In addition to wearing their trowback jerseys in their game this Sunday against the Ravens, some Pittsburgh Steelers are growing staches to make the look more authentic. In particular, Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who said his is a tribute to former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and current Steelers quarterbacks coach Ken Anderson.

I know what team I’m betting on.

Christmastime with the family completed, I attempted to watch Mustache Porn aka Sherlock Holmes on the big screen last night.  Unfortunately for my plan, I grew up in a small town with one movie theater and the sole showing of Sherlock Holmes (in which Jude Law’s Watson showcases a burly mustache) at 7:00 sold out.  To a guy three people in front of me in line.  Without a mustache.

Now, I also don’t currently have a mustache, and didn’t get in line until after him, so I let it slide.  But I was deprived of Watson’s stache on the big screen and what should have been a celebration of the real Sherlock Holmes, replete with a robust Sherlock stache via Robert Downey Jr., who has previously modeled a fantastic lip rug.

Downey Jr. let down Stachist’s everywhere with his decision to not display the classic Sherlock Stache, but I’m sure he had his reasons. Like inexplicably not wanting to be sweet.

Conan, as this blog has previously chronicled, has demonstrated his love for a good fake mustache.  His alter ego, Conando, the star of the Spanish novella, “Noches de Pasion,” rocks a perfect stache. From what I have gathered, Conando dually romances young Spanish phillies and throws attacking banditos out of windows, through which they plummet to their deaths.

Conan, like many great men before him, knows that he cannot have a true alter ego if said alter ego does not have a mustache.  Especially if he is evil.

Conando, on the other hand, fights for the girl.  He fights for his freedom.  And he fights for his stache.

We’ve already told you about mustache coffee mugs for your coffee and mustache fiends. Well, now you can cover all your beverage bases with these mustache pint glasses from Etsy. If there’s anything I love more than coffee, it’s beer (and if there’s anything I love more than beer, it’s a mustache).

The mustache stencils are handmade and sand-blasted on the dishwasher-safe (though not entirely drunkard-safe) pint glasses.

Want to see the mustache pint glasses in action or show yours off? The creators set up a flickr group.

. . . Then she goes and somehow, in a sly forty-five year old who somehow grows more attractive by the day kind of way, makes herself even more perfect by adding a playful lady stache to her arsenal.   Perfectly thin, it helps accent the Hollywood power she has gained as the Oscar nominated star of The Blind Side. 

Congratulations to Entertainment Weekly on a fantastic cover featuring not only Sandra Bullock with a mock stache, but also a glimpse of Avatar and a shout out to Mainer Stephen King.

I found a good site for a Friday afternoon laugh, purely by accident. It caught me by surprise. My friend IMed me and told me to go to a cake website to choose a certain flavor. While I was on the site, I noticed a little link in the corner that said, “X-rated Cakes.” So naturally I clicked it. Hilarity ensued. There are 30+ erotic cakes from which to choose.

One of them features a mustache, so I decided to post it here.

• all the cakes (NSFW)

(And my friend wasn’t getting an erotic cake, she was getting a regular cake, which this place also happens to make. Not that there’s anything wrong with erotic cakes…)

What’s it like having a mustache? Like lighting a torch? Catching a Frisbee? The color blue? Definitely not a Viking that rides on the wings of a tempest.

This hilarious video is a promotion for the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival.

During last night’s MNF game on ESPN, the Arizona Cardinals turned the ball over 7 times en route to losing 24-9 to the San Francisco 49ers.  What’s that?  San Francisco is home to banana, the founder of this very blog?  Intriguing.  What do you think the odds are that this game showcased not only sloppy ball control by the Cardinals, but also a mustache to end all other mustaches? 

I’d say pretty good.  Behold: MUSTACHE FAN

This is what awesome looks like
