Mustaches for Kids: Hartford Chapter

What’s that Thing on Your Upper Lip?

November 19th, 2009 by michael

You’re a week in and I know you’re feeling the metaphysical effects of the mustache – it isn’t quite there yet but somehow it has already taken a hold of you and the people around you. This is expected. Embrace it like Jon Arbuckle.

This week we will to come together at The Half Door and celebrate three things: Over $400 raised in week 1, your fellow stachie’s sweet, sweet mustaches, and Billy Bates’ birthday!

Who is Billy Bates? Why, he is one of the greatest Cricketers ever to live. Bates took 50 wickets in 15 Tests at a startling average of 16.42, all in Australia. In Melbourne in 1882-83, he took 7 for 28, including the first Test hat-trick by an Englishman, and 7 for 74 as England hammered Australia by an inning. As a batsman he made ten first-class hundreds, and was good enough to open for England. Like you needed to ask.

Billy also had a killer ’stache.

Come out this Friday and meet some of your brothers-in-stache. Trade humiliating stories, general taunts and jibs, pledging tips and a few brews. Remember to bring your pledges – a total of $50 or more so far earns you a prize!
