Behold, the mustache of victory

mustache of victory

mustache of victory

This morning, I shaved my beard down to the mustache you see here. I have never before allowed a mustache to exist on my face for more than an hour, nor have I left the house with one. But I hereby pledge that if the football gods see fit to grant the Packers victory over the Vikings today, I will endure this godawful facial graffiti for three full days. Work days.

Yes, I know that among certain fashion-forward artsy types mustaches are very much in vogue now. As far as I’m concerned, that only makes my sacrifice that much greater. Not only am I making myself ugly, I’ll be an ugly wannabe hipster. My shame, football gods, your glory.

Please note: This pledge is null and void in the event that the football gods pull any monkey-paw type shit – for instance, if the Packers win but Aaron Rodgers sustains a season-ending injury. Only a feel-good victory earns the mustache.

    I have a feeling a Pack win is not in the cards so…… but if they do, don’t go near a porn shoot or you will end up in the movie!! (unless that is what you want) j/k

    Looks like you get to shave. An embarrassing sweep by the Vikings this year. I am instantly changing my belief that Ted Thompson made the right choice. Brett Favre just threw four TDs on us and beat us in our own stadium. MAJOR F&*&ing embarrassment. I hope Ted Thompson gets canned as does McCarthy, because you can’t win with those kind of penalties and poor special teams play.

    Oh, and Mason Crosby is about as useless a kicker as there is. Time for him to go too.
