The tale of the unfortunate Marchstache
My friend Leah was telling me a story recently about a guy she met at the bar.
“He was very cool, but had an unfortunate mustache,” she said.
My other friend Brittany chimed in.
“Well, it is March,” Brittany said.
“Huh?”
“March. Time for Marchstache,” Brittany explained.
I had never heard of this phenomenon and she could tell by my puppy-dog cocked head.
“A lot of guy grow mustaches in March. And beards in November. For Novembeard.”
Whoa.
I figured I was really out of the loop, so I went back to the office and looked up Marchstache on the knower of all things, Urbandictionary.com. Nothing.
But Google had heard of it.
Apparently it is a cancer fundraising effort. I don’t see the connection between mustaches and cancer, but I guess guys will do anything for an excuse to forfeit grooming.
