Beer, Whiskey and Mustaches. Oh My!

Mustache March is underway and both Steve and I are both doing our best to represent. Check out our progress here. Steve still needs some work but he's working on it. I had to trim mine down for a business meeting but I still am happy with it. It's no friendly mutton chops but it will do. I might be able to sport handle bars by the end of the month but time will only tell.

We updated our beer log and Flickr group after a night out this weekend. Too much fun!

For the past twelve years or so my go to drink has always been beer. But there are so many calories and sometimes you want to have a second choice. I love White Russians (thanks to The Dude in The Big Lebowski) but I have been asked on more than one occasion if it was for my date. (ouch!) So Steve and I are looking for a manly drink. We are going to try out a bunch of different liquors from those cute little travel sized bottles on the next DAP. Scotch, whiskey, rum and brandy to name a few. We will record the whole thing. Look for that in a couple of weeks.

Check out the 17 worst shots ever created. Like #15 the bloody tampon. Yuck!

OK, so Steve will be on vacation for the next week so look for a new DAP around the end of March. See you then. Might see two of you. And a pink elephant.

Proposition 317

Not only is it Mustache March (listen to last DAP for more information and click here to see Steve's progress as well) but there is also a little thing called St. Patrick's Day. If you have not heard about it, there is a movement to get this wonderful Irish-American holiday an official holiday. They need a million signatures and I think they are about 10% there. You can click here if you are interested.

See you at the bar!

Mustache March is coming

OK, so Steve and I are getting ready for mustache March. My beard is getting real beardy and Steve...well, he is going to try his best. The picture of the left is of Steve around 1998 or so. This is the only picture I have been able to find of him with a mustache. I have a lot of pics of me with a mustache but I took this picture of myself at a party on Saturday to give you an idea of where I am starting from. Should be fun! Check us out next week for the new photos. We will keep taking pictures and loading them on Flickr as the month progresses. They will not look quite as cool as these dudes, but we will try our best.



UPDATE: I was scheduled for a root canal and sat in the chair at the dentist's office but after a few x-rays (see pic of my huge teeth on the left) it turns out I don't need any work done...at least not yet. I kind of feel like the condemned man on the gallows who gets a stay of execution but understands that they are going the keep the rope ready just in case. $75 and a missed day of work. I guess it could have been worse. Best case scenario I never get one done. More likely is I will be back in that fucking chair before Fall. Oh well. What can you do?


I mentioned that I fell into the Sarlacc pit of nerdom by getting into World of Warcraft. I am only a level 6 but if you want to come over and pwen me please feel free. I can barely fight a cold as a level 6 but I am dumb enough to fight people much stronger than me. I have the power of flight! (As in I flee when attacked!) If I stick with it, I will let you know. Feel free to recommend other time sucks that I can get into.

The music in today's podcast is really a mixed bag of nuts. The opening song won the Oscar for Best Song this week. It's mellow and awesome and you should buy it on Amazon.com like I did as soon as I heard it. The song in the middle of the show was Marvin the Paranoid Android. This was on an old Dr. Demento CD that I found God knows where but I love it. If you didn't recognize the voice or the name, Marvin is a character in Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the recent movie of the same name the Earl of Awesome Alan Rickman voiced the role of poor Marvin. Love it. The final song was the only thing we found that had mustache in it. Nirvana's Mr. Mustache. I had never heard this song until this podcast. Of course you can buy it on iTunes or anywhere else you can get mp3s.
