Mustache Registry

First Thursday in NW Portland is the time art galleries welcome the crowds to visit newly hung shows.
While walking around the PAC at first Thursday I nearly bumped into a gentleman with an impressive mustache. At first I didn’t think much of it, then it registered that not only does this man have a mustache but it was deserving of a compliment. He was quick on the draw and complimented my mustache before I had a chance to speak. I returned the compliment then we started talking as you might imagine two strangers with mustaches would. Somehow in our conversation the idea of a mustache registry hit me and we both agreed this indeed was a wonderful idea.
If you’re reading this and you live in Portland you might understand the beauty of this idea as mustaches are very popular right now. If you’re not from Portland, take my word when I tell you that mustaches in Portland are very popular.

So when I got home I purchased the domain www.MustacheRegistry.com in order to develop this idea more.
I’m open for ideas about how the site should work and operate. If you have a mustache, live in Portland and would like to be on the board of directors for this project please don’t hesitate to contact me.

That is one hell of an idea there, sir! As a Portlander with a moustache, who has also been amazed by the sheer amount, and quality, of Portland moustaches recently, I would be very interested in being involved in this registry.

mousestashes are for lurkers: heres proof:
A serious young man found the conflicts of mid 20th Century America
confusing. He went to many people seeking a way of resolving within himself
the discords that troubled him, but he remained troubled.
One night in a
coffee house, a self-ordained Zen Master said to him, “go to the dilapidated
mansion you will find at this address which I have written down for you. Do
not speak to those who live there; you must remain silent until the moon
rises tomorrow night. Go to the large room on the right of the main
hallway, sit in the lotus position on top of the rubble in the northeast
corner, face the corner, and meditate.”
He did just as the Zen Master
instructed. His meditation was frequently interrupted by worries. He
worried whether or not the rest of the plumbing fixtures would fall from the
second floor bathroom to join the pipes and other trash he was sitting on.
He worried how would he know when the moon rose on the next night. He
worried about what the people who walked through the room said about him.

His worrying and meditation were disturbed when, as if in a test of his
faith, ordure fell from the second floor onto him. At that time two people
walked into the room. The first asked the second who the man was sitting
there was. The second replied “Some say he is a holy man. Others say he is
a shithead.”
Hearing this, the man was enlightened.
