  4. pretty good article considering it's from a mainstream source. I read it quickly, so I might have missed other things, but two flags I saw:
    1. he cautioned against eating a lot of red meat, but there's no evidence that you can't
    2. he wrote that you should "balance your omega-3s with monounsaturated fats like olive oil, canola oil, and avocado." Canola oil is bad news bears no matter how you cut it, and while olive oil is a good choice for salad dressing, it's also high in omega-6s (inflammatory).

    overall a good article against conventional wisdom since it is based off a great authority figure: Gary Taubes

  10. Happy birthday Cline.

    I tried searching the web for a coupon on mustache wax to no avail.

    But I will give you the knowledge that I gained during this 30 second endeavor...

    Per this random website, Amazon has the best prices on several top mustache wax brands:

  11. Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone! It feels good to be part of another benign cult. And after some recent shopping, it feels even better to have some pants that actually fit me.

    And Peterson, thanks for the heads-up, but I've had this amazing thing on my face for going on 18 months now. I'm something of an expert on my options.

    In fact, here's a breakdown of my experiences that I sent to a coworker who asked for advice on what to get:


    UNNAMED COWORKER: Where to you get your moustache wax? I'd like to try to tame mine a bit.
    Christopher CLINE:
    I've tried 3 different kinds and have settled on 1 for the time being. Amazon sells all 3 I believe.

    1. Clubman's used to be available in CVS though I haven't seen it in a while. My theory is that I bought out the local stores' inventory which has been sitting around for 10-15 years and they aren't in a rush to replenish it. Though I did see a store brand wax which looked very similar.

    This has very good hold, but is white and creamy. It's a delicate balance between blending it into the hair so it's not visible and not over-working it so you lose some of the hold.

    I've not tried their other colors, which might help with the blending-in.

    2. Father's is beeswax-based and blends in very well, but the hold is not that great. Also doesn't seem to last very long.

    3. I got a tin of Handlebar recently, and it seems to be the Goldilocks product so far. Hold is not quite as good as Clubman's, but still pretty good. It blends in very well. It even lasts for a couple of days with minor touch-ups.

    Only downside is that in its "natural" state, it's very hard beeswax. They recommend putting it in your back pocket for a short period of time to warm it up, but I've found 15 seconds beneath a hair dryer is much more effective.

  12. Nice. Also, not sure if you knew that the World Beard and Moustache Championships 2011 just occurred:

    I may also be looking to find you a coupon for a monocle. Nothing like the mustache and a monocle to make a crossfit WOD more badass.

  13. A top hat might need to be in the works too...
