Who wants a mustache ride

Alright, so once I get back, and hopefully get a job, I will have to be pretty clean cut and nothing outlandish. I figure I'm traveling and I can't really take myself too seriously.

So it all started at a bar in Koh Phi Phi called Apache's. I was still quite early and the dance floor was completely empty. All of a sudden this guy who apparently looks like Nigel Mansell, starts dancing. For those of you who don't know who Nigel Mansell is (I certainly didn't) he is a British race car driver who is the only driver to simultaneously hold the Indy Car and Formula 1 titles, which he did in '92 - '93 (thanks Fletch for that piece of trivia, I am now one question closer to $1,000,000). In case you wanted to know what he looks like, this is a picture of him here. So, this guy with a Will Ferrell in Anchorman esque moustache starts dancing. A lot of the time, when guys do this, they just look like idiot and are trying to look cool. Well, this guy was wearing a bright hawaiian shirt and looked absolutely hilarious, he was even dancing around this pole. Everyone at our table was laughing like crazy.

So, admittedly, I would never do this, but it did get me thinking that I really don't need to take myself that seriously, especially while traveling. Just as a joke, when I was shaving that night, I left the moustache, but I nicked a bit of the side so I had to shave the whole thing (as no one likes a lopsided mousache).

A couple days later, we were watching Happy Gilmore, and Ben Stiller happens to play the nursery home attendant (for which he is not in the credits, btw). Now if you have seen the movie, you know he does look absolutely ridiculous, in case you haven't here's a pic.

I think you know where this is going. Yes, I know it is definately not done to look attractive, but it's not like I'm looking to pick up girls. Just having it for a couple of weeks, just for fun. So, for you viewing pleasure, I present who wants a moustache ride (which by the way is a line from Super Troopers in case you didn't know).
