When Ploof’s mustache (featured two posts back) emerged from its cocoon of a beard, the hairs that gave their lives to allow his stache to flourish did not go down without one last work of art, a robust Fu Manchu.

Currently my beard is at the 5 week mark, and I am anxiously awaiting the time when I can begin to twist the tips of my mustache.  Will I be able to put up with the Brillo pad that is on my face until that time comes?  Is it cheating to grow a beard and then converting to a mustache rather than Staching organically?  Will I use Just For Men because my beard is like 4 shades lighter than the hair on my head?  Will my beard hairs fall into such a delicate manner as Ploof’s clearly did (because there is no way he would have arranged the hair like this)? Will people ever come to their senses and realize they are NAMED KILLER WHALES FOR A REASON? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Also, it is important to note that if you really really wanted to see Mr. Miagi’s face in the tub (a la Jesus’s face in a slice of bread), you totally can.  Wax on, wax off.
