Though it is a bit outside of my usual routine on this here site, I just couldn’t resist sending this on. Here we have Nick Offerman who plays Ron Swanson on NBC’s Parks and Recreation talking about “Great Moments in Mustache History”. For those not familiar with Offerman or the persona of Swanson, how to best explain what it is this man represents?

Well, it would not be unfair to say that he is a legend in the community of manly men, and the greatest enemy manscaping and tofu bacon ever had! He’s also no fan of government, though he is the director of the town of Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation department. Ironic, yes, but it works! He also loves log cabins, guns, meat, and women who share his mother’s name.

Yeah, he’s pretty damn awesome. So happy Movember, and here’s hoping we can find a month similarly dedicated to beards. This is another area of the masculine identity that has been sadly neglected in this age of metrosexualism, feelings and free hugs. Long live the furry face!
