The Secrets of the Amazonian Jungle

The BBC and Brazilian government are reporting today that they have found an "uncontacted" tribe in the Amazon rain forest. Aerial photographs show the settlement of the tribe deep in the forest. The photographs show the men and women of the tribe as well. You can read more about this very interesting discovery HERE.

Party Pictures

HERE THEY ARE!!!
The pictures from Moustache Fandango 2008!

All the boys
(L-R:Me, JohnnyD, JasonD, J.James and J.Blo)

This is me looking like the people I used to work with on the horse ranch.

John with his glorious Franz Josef

Jason looking like a 70's porn star...this 'stache went over really well in Ann Arbor

Jeff couldn't grow a 'stache, so we had some theatrical facial hair for him;
but trust me, he has sported this look before...

Jason D's creepy swashbuckling Cpt. Morgan 'stache. I think he looks like the Unabomber

Jeffchephous pulling off the Sam Elliot look

This Zappa-esque picture of J.James is simply awesome!

Still waiting...

I am meaning to post moustache pictures but am still awaiting emails from my homies. So, come on, Boys, and send those pictures...

Our Governor is Sexier than Yours

In another b*llsh*t poll from the media - well this one is from Playboy so can I really claim that this is the "media"? - the nation's governors were ranked on sexiness. The list, compiled by Playboy Radio, was ranked by a team of sex workers. It is "scientifically" proven this week that Michigan's governor, ranked slightly behind No. 1 ARNOLD and No. 2 Jeb Bush(?), is much, MUCH sexier than Sweaty Teddy Strickland there in O-Hi-Ah. So take that, Buckeyes! Our governor is more "do-able" according to some crappy list! Who cares about football...we all know that the only thing that sells better than sports in the good ol' U.S. of A. is SEX!

Here is the list up to the former-freak-of-a-governor Spitzer: (courtesy Playboy Radio)
1. Arnold Schwarzenegger (California)
2. Jeb Bush (Florida)
3. Jennifer Granholm (Michigan)
4. Chet Culver (Iowa)
5. Martin O’Malley (Maryland)
6. Deval Patrick (Massachusetts)
7. Ted Strickland (Ohio)
8. Sarah Palin (Alaska)
9. Bobby Jindal (Louisiana)
10. Mitch Daniels (Indiana)
11. Matt Blunt (Missouri)
12. John Hoeven (North Dakota)
13. Tim Kaine (Virginia)
14. Janet Napolitano (Arizona)
15. Jon Corzine (New Jersey)
16. Bill Richardson (New Mexico)
17. Mike Huckabee (Arkansas)
18. Eliot Spitzer (New York)

Greetings from Hockey Town

Little Timmy (back row on left) told Coach Rizzo (the beauty in the mullet & ears with the sexy blue wind-breaker - middle in back) that team photos always made him nervous. Poor little Donny (second row on left) and little Joey (front row on left) will never see hockey the same way again. Oh those crazy Eagan hockey boys.

Handlebar Moustache Fandango Part V: The Doppelganger

Well, here is my twin (separated at birth). Notice the fabulous orange jumpsuit - obviously my long-lost brother is a ward of the state, county or city in which he obviously caused some drunken havoc and/or smacked his wife around and/or went on a 30 minute 15 mph shirtless road chase with the blue and whites all the while screaming "Molly Hatchet rules!" over and over and over..

I am currently looking for an orange jumpsuit but just cannot seem to make the commitment in order to obtain one. I am going to the Army/Navy Surplus tomorrow, so there may be one there (a jumpsuit, not an ex-con...I know they'll be one of those there). So here's to prison stints and orange jumpsuits...Oh, and handlebar moustaches...yea, don't forget about those handlebars.

A Pic for My Nephew (in about 20 years)...

I didn't make it; I just found it. It is disturbingly funny. USA! USA!

Moustache Fandango Update

Well, I shaved the beast today and trimmed the facial hedges...and I must say - IT IS BITCHIN'. I got some crazy looks in Target today and was met with open mouths and snarls as I smiled and greeted the old ladies.

Pics will be posted on Saturday as there will be a pictorial report from the Fandango. We may even have a contestant "phoning in" their entry via email...Oh the anticipation. So, stay tuned facial-hair-philiacs...more to come soon!

Handlebar Moustache Fandango Part IV

I get lost the coolness of this guy. Look at the four-leaf clover beard below his standard handlebar moustache...Plus the huge horn beard, the bitchin' shirt with fringe and the long goatee - there is just too much cool around this guy to list it all.

Handlebar Moustache Fandango Part III

HOLY SHIT! No caption needed!

Handlebar Moustache Fandango Part II

The only thing sexier than this guy's 'stache is this guy's chest hair!

Handlebar Moustache Fandango Explained...

My boys are coming up in 11 days. These guys have been with me for damn near 25 years! We have been groomsmen in each other's weddings (well, everyone except one...here's to hoping that someday they will legalize it for him - HA HA HA). We have stuck by each other through crazy ex-girlfriends (except that one time in 1996 when Jeffcephous was persona non grata). We have seen each other through first jobs, first children and first marriages (HA!). If these guys outlive me, I know that they'll be carrying my casket.



With that said, we are ringing in my 30th with a little moustache party. The ribs will be cooking, the beer will be shotgunnin' and the 'staches will be blowing in the breeze. There is no better way than to hillbilly-it-up for the weekend. I know that there will be beer cans in my yard and probably someone getting punched (out of love, not hate). In all the hoopla the signs of our hirsute upper lips will be a beacon unto the world (or at least Metro Detroit)...WATCH OUT! Here's to another weekend with "My Boys."

Handlebar Moustache Fandango Part I

Could it get any cooler than this guy?

Almost 30...10 Days until Youth is Officially OVER

On May 12th I will be 30. I am not as nervous about this "milestone" as others around me. I have seen those fear, deny and detest their coming thirtieth birthday. I am welcoming it. I just recently got tenure at HFCC, I have started a new Religious Studies program, I am starting another master's degree at U of M and I have a lovely home and family. However, there is one thing missing....it is growing in now, but I am going to reign in the big 3-0 with a bitchin' 'stache.

Hopefully, in 10 days I look as cool as this guy...
