About a month before the school year started, I was informed by a text message that I had been drafted into the Staff Mustache Race. As Knutson said, “there are no winners in a mustache contest”; here they were on the last day of ‘stashness:
Yes, that is a month’s worth of lip hair growth on my face. Yes, I know it’s barely visible. Yes, it is bald in the middle. Yes, I am ashamed.

That’s Joel… to be fair, Joel had a a thick goatee going and at our urging, shaved the middle. But yes, I am very jealous of his fu man chu.

I am tired of owning a Trojan purse!!! Unless you want to look at this name and my new USC gravatar every time you post something on your blog, I suggest you promise to stop putting mustard packets, spoons, potato chips, crayons, ketchup packs, menus, and knives in my purse. Otherwise, you are about to become USC’s biggest fan all over the internet– unless you promise to stop putting crap in my purse!!! Every time you hide something in my purse, I am making a BIG donation to USC football. If you don’t stop, forget about a white Christmas– all your Christmas presents will be cardinal and gold, and have USC and Trojan logos on them. Go USC!!!

I still love how you’re so anti-Hitler that you refuse to grow hair directly below your nose.
