Mustche Institute mourns loss of ’stache
-

In light of last night, we could use a little levity. This from the American Mustache Institute:
It lived a life most of us would envy. But in the end, Jason Giambi’s mustache never really had a chance, and ended up in a bathroom basin, dead after less than a few months of life.
The American Mustache Institute salutes Mr. Giambi and his mustache, for having the bravery to walk proudly down the same lines upon which other great Yankee mustaches have — including Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Don Mattingly, and Sal Fasano. Our hearts and prayers go out to Mr. Giambi, his family, and the Yankees organization. And while we are all gravely disappointed by the passing of Jason’s mustache, no one, or thing, feels a greater loss than his upper lip. The thick coating of fur had become a part of that lip - like peanut butter and jelly - and we can only hope Giambi’s late lip sweater is in a better place.
It is important during this time of mourning that we all reflect and understand that every time a mustache is shaved, an angel in heaven dies and falls to earth. And the American Mustache Institute has established a fund in memory of Mr. Giambi’s mustache that will be used to educate young people about the merits of facial hair, circus clowns, and juggling.
In the end, while the hearts of mustached-Americans everywhere are broken, we must always remind ourselves that a mustache is a terrible thing to shave.
We look forward to a newly erected monument in the new Yankee Stadium commemorating Giambi’s mustache alongside Ruth, Gehrig, and DiMaggio.

Thats just distubing
I just heard the guy deliver this eulogy on ESPN. He is funny.
Whoever wrote that release needs to get another job with The Onion he/she would fit in perfectly
That last paragraph was too funny.
We want a new thread, Pete.
Give us some good news about Joba or tell us what the plan’s going to be if he’s down for awhile.
That Mustache had a lot of moves.
Thanks Pete, that moment of levity is helpful. Reading the blog today has convinced me that Joba is done for the season and so are the Yankees.
ESPN’s Olney reports that David Ortiz felt a “click” in his wrist last night,might not play tonignt.
I shaved my mustache yesterday morning. Little did I know, I was in solidarity with Giambi!
(I plan on growing it back; I didn’t like the way my beard looked, so I shaved the whole shebang, to start over).
lolz
I, too, look forward to that newly erected monument.
Thanks for the laugh Pete, much needed.
Condolonces to the AMI for their loss, but the ’stache just wasn’t coming through in the clutch.
LOL!!!Unbelievable!!!
When I first learned there was a “American Mustache Institute”, I could not contain my laughter.
But…this is something more!
Hahahahaha~
It’s not over! This can be undone!

Wow.
I am actually sitting here laughing out loud.
Hahaha
Ugh. Enough with the Stache.
Pray for Joba’s health.
rconn23 - “Enough with the stache”?!?!?
Two young ladies with fake moustaches held up a “Bring Back the Stache” sign during his 4th inning at bat last night. The result of that at-bat…upper-deck blast.

Suddenly I feel sad that it’s gone.
On second thought, no I don’t–it’s a cold world and sometimes a mustache has to die.
That was fantastic.
Thats easily one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read.
Genius!
