The F-22 flew over our heads, virtually within spitting distance it seemed. The maneuverability of this aircraft was absolutely amazing.

I had to trim it back for family pictures. It looked decent. Then I shaved it off in January, doing lots of fun different styles along the way.

So here are the pics of the progression, from face coat to smooth.

The best moustache! Only five of us competed, and there was clearly only one winner. Ken, with the costume to boot, garnered the most rousing support and went home victorious, King Moustache!

All us hoodlums. Lined up for voting Awaiting the verdict. Who has the best stache? Ken, the only one with a real stache Kris with imposter burns The winner! Singing to a lollipop. The Winner, exercising. ]]> http://mossiso.com/blog/the-competition-72.html/feed 0 Furry Christmas http://mossiso.com/blog/furry-christmas-68.html http://mossiso.com/blog/furry-christmas-68.html#comments Mon, 08 Dec 2008 02:34:17 +0000 admin http://mossiso.com/blog/?p=68 We got the tree up, and if you look really, really closely, you’ll see I trimmed my moustache. And if you notice that, you’ll need to get your head checked. As the wife clearly shows…

It’s really just a room with tile flooring. The Computer Science Department wants to make it into a server room, so I had to move all of our junk out. We had lots.

First one is in my Prof. office before discussing the inner workings of Google and how that affects digital scholarship.

The second is in my class about Modernity and the Third Reich. I woke up at 3:45am to read the book for this class, so I was quite sleepy by the time of this picture, 7:25pm. We ended up not discussing the book…

Notice also that I got a hair cut. Jess does a wonderful job.

It’s a bit itchy now and again, but well worth it. My bike ride to work and back are much more bearable with a natural face coat!

Notice I shaved the groat (throat growth). My dad, a long time beard wearer, advocates the groat shaving. Makes it look cleaner and feels better.

Lookin' good!
