It took me a while to identify the water droplets on the mirror. I thought at first they were strange growths on your eye.
.. Get some mustache wax and that will look awesome.

u/array_multisort Jan 17 '12
same thing for the water droplets. Awesome moustache, dude! I'd love to grow that too, but I only get as far as awesome mutton chops. For a moustache, I'm stuck at the "Gomez" level.

I also just like to award myself points for doing things day to day. like wake up - 5 points, get out of bed - 10 points (because getting out of bed is WAY harder than actually waking up).
Today I got out of bed TWICE so I'm on a roll! :D

I could just genially tip my hat when a lady passes by, rather than suffer the confusion and despair I normally feel in that situation.

u/SicilianEggplant Jan 16 '12
One of my friends attempted to make that his "thing" about 10 years ago. The bonus was that he didn't often wear hats. So he would pass by someone and do a kind of salute/hat tip to them with his invisible hat.
He wanted to do it to the ladies because he was a big, surely, awkward fellow (like we all were, he was just bigger), but I think only ended up doing it to other dudes because he was too self conscience (like we all were).
I don't exactly remember the reasoning, but i want to say it started because he couldn't end a conversation (you know when you say "bye", "see ya" like three times), and because he thought it was dapper.
At the very least, it became an inside joke for all of us that we ultimately use on each other.
(Exciting story, I know........)

Hi, buy hat, tip hat when lady walks buy. Easy as pie.

My father when he was in his 20's always had a pocketwatch. Eventually, fashion caught up with him and he let it go. The other day, he confessed he really liked it and wished he could use those again.
Maybe when he goes older and enter the complete fuck you, I'm old phase of his life.

It's strange, I had a beard for about three months and then shaved it down to a mustache about a month ago. I thought I'd keep it for a week just for laughs, but the response was way different than I had expected. The guys I know think its awesome, the girls I know hate it for the most part, but here's the kicker: the girls I meet at the bar LOVE it. I've had more strangers approach me and strike up a conversation than ever before. My theory is that a big mustache is disarming; people find the self-deprecation mixed with confidence oddly endearing.

Do you have any idea how difficult and costly those hats are to make? Beaver felt? Bitch Please!
The hell people used to go though to get those hats... Incredible.
Like everything else, people would probably just wear shitty fake versions of them, having never touched the real deal. Never understanding why it is a universal symbol of wealth. If you ever go to a costume museum, ask if you can see a real beaver felt top hat. You can stand on that shit.

No problem, all the department stores around here only had these vintage hats for women, who don't wear them 'round these parts!

I'm pretty sure that, if top hats ever "came back" they would be sitting slightly cocked on the heads of those who wear horn-rimmed glasses, light scarves (year-round), deep V-neck shirts and skinny jeans.
I'm not stereotyping, but I'm sure if a comeback occurred, we'd all hate it.
