Train robberies were more contemporary to them than The Fast and the Furious is to us. They were stealing DVD players in that movie.

I was kinda wondering if the swirl was intentional or not How did these people do this Like without being uncomfortable growing it out, and not wanting in your mouth or food My experience with the moustache Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 23:10 on Jun 9, 2023 |

He might have used a pomade especially in polar conditions, but his moustache was long and curly enough that the hairs kept each other in check.

I mean my main question is this- I can grow a huge mustace. It's gotta be cut before the lips bc it will be grossly in my mouth, bits of food will get stuck in it, this is not handsome How did the 19th and 20th century fancylads live with these fancy enormous staches and not feel and look disgusting constantly? The sandwich I ate tonight does not fit in that man's mouth without half being in the stache.

Maybe he doped it with iron so that it could serve as an emergency compass. I think that this first photograph is evidence that he did at at least sometimes wax, oil, or grease it.

oh ya no idea what you eat with a stash like that. i grew one for fun when were masked and i had to preen it at least weekly to avoid getting hairs tween my teeth i guess if every single hair is long enough to comb aside it works, but until then youre not in a good place

The secret to growing a mustache is patience and restraint. And various helpful accessories. Also also a pandemic when you're trapped indoors with nothing much else to do.

Revolting meal-habits involving moustaches have been joked about for a long timequote:Things irritated him acutely, which before he had accepted as inevitable—his Uncle Donald's moustache, for instance, and its owner's habit of employing it during meals as a sort of zareba or earthwork against the assaults of soup. -The Adventures of Sally P.

I assume the photo is for illustrative purposes and all, but now I'm going to pretend that those spoons are for keeping your mustache clean while you dribble soup down the front of your suit.

 prolly well-known to everyone here but this is saved on my phone and always makes me chuckle Looks like it was taken in a game of Civilization instead of real life, plus the guy on the right being enthusiastic vs the guy on the left slouching and frowning like "why are we entertaining this larper"

 Reverse of a 1511 draft of a letter from Swedish regent Svante Nilsson to arch bishop Jakob Ulfsson. Nilsson's chancellor Peder Jakobsson has drawn a trollish figure captioned Niels Slukenlort, which can be translated as Niels Glutton-poo poo. Possibly a reference to a scribe called Niels Skrivare (Niels Scribe) who is mentioned on other letters. Src: Retsö, D. (2019). Sturearkivets väg till Danmark.

Mine has been (at times) as big as his (it was longer, during the pandemic) and it does the same. Pain in the arse, even decent wax won't stop that from happening. I've got myself a cup with a lid for coffee, but the worst is beer. Can't stop that foam going everywhere.
