Once upon a time in Iowa there was a man and his progressive facial hair.
That’s right, this year Evil Genius decided to grow a beard. This is not the first beard he has attempted, but it was the most successful beard thus far (as far as beard successes go). I’m not a huge fan of beards, but even I have to admit I liked it. It helps that I love the man underneath it, so I’m kind of biased.
As 2013 progressed into February, he volunteered to represent his department at the company booth at the collegiate career fair this year. Some brilliant person decided that this year it should be a seventies theme. Therefore since he always gives 150% to his career he decided that his facial hair should go along with the theme. The result? The 70s pornstache.
Now all photos of him in the 70s outfit are, as far as I know, utter top secretness. I have, however, substituted the above picture of Brian Fantana from Anchorman. I understand that their booth at the fair was a raging success, but who wouldn’t love a booth with a disco ball? Yes you saw that right, there was a disco ball.
I did take one picture of him with it, but I was laughing so hard as I attempted to take it that it didn’t turn out as well as he would have liked. Considering he has threatened to grow a handlebar moustache on several occasions, I was really okay with the pornstache.
The very next day after the career fair he shaved it, and the pornstache that used to be became nothing but a memory… it was quite a shock to see him those next few days without any hair on his face. I understand that several people that he works with were very sad that he did away with it.
Does your significant other have or has ever tried to grow a beard or moustache? Were the results delightful or comical? Please share…
Oh all right, I won’t keep you in suspense. Here is the only existing photo that I have actual permission to share. I even told him he was the subject of today’s blog post and he insisted I include the actual picture I took. He would also like everyone to know that despite the title of this post, there was no actual plan, just a man and a stache…
That’s quite a mustache!!
You’re a better wife than me. I’m normally not the type to “allow” or “not allow” things, since he’s a grown man, but I would never allow a moustache.
Oh, I allow a lot. I’m a pretty cool wife. He keeps things interesting.
That is hilarious!! He is definitely a team player at work!! Holy Cow!
I guess he gives new meaning to the word “team player”, huh?
That’s awesome! And yes, my husband grows a beard every now and then. Every time he does, it takes me awhile to get used to it. Then, just as I’m really beginning to dig it, he shaves! lol
He’ll grow one again next winter. Hopefully no handlebar moustache, unless of course they do a tying people to a railroad tracks theme next year at work. Then I might be in trouble!
Hey, I like the pornstache!!! But then again I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s so they are second nature to me! My Hubs still has a stache but many years ago he grew a beard, too. Not so great–he looked too much like the Geico Caveman.
He totally rocked the stache. I wish he could have had a bit part in the next Anchorman movie!
I love my man’s facial hair. Makes me feel better about not shaving my legs from January – March. Just kidding. Not really.
HA HA! Hey that’s a great reason to like facial hair!
HA! I actually found it kinda hot when my husband had a goatee. I even convinced him to keep it for the wedding. He and his mother now regret that:(
He has also been contemplating the Tony Stark look. Hmmmmm…
Hubbs grows a full beard and stache starting every October… I miss it when he shaves it in the Spring….
It’s kinda scratchy, but otherwise it was ok. I’m finally used to his clean shaven face a week later.
Wow! That is a full mustache! Even Tom Selleck would be impressed! My husband has a goatee. I love it.
He does well with growing facial hair. I guess everyone has a talent.
My other half grew a moustache last year…I couldn’t wait for him to shave it off, but it was for charity, so all for a good cause! 🙂
You can do that for charity? Well dangit, he should have totally done that!
Love it and my husband is Irish. So he has tried to grow facial hair, but unsuccessfully, lol!!! 🙂
A disco ball. Impressive. They must have gotten a ton of recruits.
