If you have not seen Sergio Leone’s classic western ‘Duck, You Sucker!’ I suggest that you do so immediately.

When bandits shoot out a tire and attempt to rob him, his reaction (pictured above) is priceless. The trailer below will convince you of the qualities of this fine piece of cinema:

Moustache History: July 4th

Today is the anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, and as always, it is an ironic moment in this country.

Moustache Lifestyle Research: Molloys

This video, although produced by barefaced mortals, features an Irish bar with a capable moustache behind it, the Ancient and Honorable Organization of E Clampus Vitus (which your humble author may or may not be a part of), and plenty of historical pictures that hearken back to the glory days of facial hair. In addition, it’s a good introduction to Emperor Norton, who will be profiled in a future article.
