Mustache Munday: The Commustache Mustafesto

Mustache Summer (1999) hath sadly passed–yet its legacy lives on in the many luxuriant ’staches kickin’ around the ‘Net these days! The Commustache Mustafesto remains as current today as it ever has:

o the shock of millions, the mustache has found itself the target of great hatred and fear among younger generations (the so-called “Goatee Generation,” or “Generation G”). These cretins think nothing of growing furry rings around their mouths (or worse, dating the goateed), and yet they scoff at those with mustaches, snorting that mustaches are “only for cops or homosexuals.” This not only betrays their ignorance, it shows a lack of respect for the two segments of our society that have kept the mustache torch burning while the rest of this so-called society trembled in the horrible darkness. It’s time to put an end to this, and the best way to do it is to celebrate the goodness that is Mustache.

Again, Mustache Summer is long in the past–but it broke us free from our servitude to the goatee and the horror of the “neckbeard.” We here at Ectomo take this moment to thank you, our mustachioed predecessors, for being there to rouse the masses when we were still wetting our beds and dreaming of facial hair!
