I hope this kid won the science fair:

Personally, I can't wait to see what skidz comes ups with for an outfit this year. Always the highlight of the trip:

Even Chuck Norris wholeheartedly approves of my growth:

I can't believe Louie is coming on the trip this year:

This is what my meeting this morning looked like:

Who wore it better?

No caption needed. Just your run of the mill classic stache:

I'm feeling a little prod of myself at this point:

This is how other mustache wearers react when they see me:

The wife says: "Maybe you should keep it through it the winter"..

I also got praise from my barber who offered to "trim it up"

I apologize for the delay... We have many mustaches to catch up on:

Azzara update.. Looking like a young Ted Kaczynski:

Wife meter: just ignores me at this point; comments have ceased in favor of dry heaving

Work: somewhat accepting T this point; they're understanding of the cause and willing to allow me to be the punchline of jokes for the next month...I.e. why did the chicken cross the road? Azzara looks fucking gross.

Kid meter: they''ve come around to liking it

progress...trimmed chin area, expect to comb and twist w/in weeks...

I think I've topped out here.. 

C-Bone is making his contribution. This might be the most disturbing pic yet... Note that he has no stake in this game. He simply shaved his goatee for funsies:

Danny G.. AKA the "good giacomi" is seeing some nice growth.  

Salmon Andy comin atcha!

"Nine days in and coworkers have begun to mock me, referring to me as "The homeless man's Johnny Depp." My boss has begun pimping me out as an extra in Shakespearean dinner theaters. Women are disgusted by me although to be fair, I'm not sure how strongly the mustache has influenced that. The only positive is my morning radio show is really taking off...... Salmon Andy is BACK!"

Dan is officially looking like a roaring 20's bare knuckle boxer. Mustache wax sales are through the roof:

Moose?

NO

Moose?

YES

Quote from the man himself:   Just shy of 3 weeks .  I've reached full creeper status.  getting dirty looks constantly, looks of disappointment and sincere disapproval.  i loath myself .  i have replaced any ounce of self confidence and self respect, with feelings of utter remorse and self hatred.  it itches constantly and smells all the time.  the only positive i see is it is widely accepted in the firefighting world. Therefore i am well on my way to ultra firefighter status.  that's all for now.

This is just funny:

Coming in at the creepiest so far, Green is scaring small children, and everyone else he comes in contact with for that matter.  Extra points for taking pic of your whole face Green - adding to the creepy factor:

This is why I don't grow facial hair.

What I think I look like:

What I actually look like:

After a week and a half, itchiness has set in.. It feels like a thousand ants crawling on my face.   As you can see, I lack significant coverage in my lip area, which is crucial for mustache.

Wife Meter: Laughing at me

Work Meter: Comments & Questioning.  Getting close to being asked to shave.
