SirKit got a bad sunburn on his face about a month before our second child was born, 27 years ago. He couldn’t shave for a week or two, then just decided to let it grow, and has had it ever since. I like his mustache and beard!

Back in the day, we called it a "jazz dot".

I’ve tried growing facial hair. It looks bad on me. It also interferes with kissing people with sensitive skin like Mrs. Altair. Given a choice between Mrs. Altair or a mustache, I’ll take Mrs. Altair, thanks.

NO, it's the twinkle in the eyes -- you needed to have seen him in the 70's, his moustache was bigger then...

No offense intended, I meant it as a complement.

Cheers!

The way Hitler wore his retardostache did not survive.

Not true! *I* trimmed my mustache to the exact dimensions of a "hitler" 'stache when the "fitment" officer at my hospital refused to even attempt a seal test on my respirator unless I "trimmed" my 'stache to his standards.

I did so, and every time he asked me to do anything before, during and after the fit testing, I clicked my heels and said "JAWOHL!!"

He hasn't even asked for me to be fit tested in the 7 years since.

I was actually in a civil war play this summer, and next semester I'm going to be in a college film of Beowulf but set in a small southern town after the Spanish-American War. Here's what I looked like back in May
