Moustache Day - January 9th, 2006!
Folks - I should have published this earlier, but later is better than never. We want to have Moustache Day on campus! "Just what IS Moustache Day?" you ask? It is a day for us to go out and celebrate and rejoice in and wear the only article of facial hair that is allowed by the Honor Code: The Moustache. Moustache Day will take place on January 9th, the First day back from school. It will be a day of rejoicing! A day of festivities! A day to show to BYU campus just how lovely The Moustache is!
Just picture it now - It's January 9th, your first day back from the break, your first day of stress, the day where you're walking around in the snow-laden paths of BYU looking at the dreary sky and thinking to yourself, "Oh man, if only there were something to brighten my day," and all of a sudden, everywhere you look, you see Men & Women Wearing Moustaches (Women may wear one too - it never says in the honor code that only Men may be allowed to wear Moustaches. In fact - technically it doesn't say that Women can't wear beards either - but we won't go there - yet). These moustaches scream joy and happiness to you!
All of a sudden your day is bright and happy! A smile is now on your face where moments before the only thing that was there was as scowl as you looked at the homework that was already due by tomorrow. All of a sudden, as you look at the moustaches on the faces of everybody you see, it doesn't seem so bleak and grim and a sense of confidence grows inside you. "I CAN do this!" you say to yourself. "Thank you Moustache Day!"
This and much more joy and happiness can and will be brought by Moustache Day! "What can I do to support Moustache Day?" you ask? Simple! First - spread the word - tell everybody about it - maybe print the date on little cards. It's easy to remember - January 9th - The first day when we return from our winter breaks to school!
"But it will take me weeks to grow a decent moustache!" you say? Yes, this is true - for that reason you can grow it out over Christmas break where all you see are friends and family, groups of people who will love you no matter what sort of scraggly facial hair you are currently wearing.
"But I don't look good in a moustache!" may be your next reply. Well, neither do I nor do 99.8% of men out there! I suggest you do what I'm going to do: grow out either a goatee or a beard over the break - and then come Moustache Day Eve you shave off everything but the Moustache. This might not be completely in the spirit of the Honor Code - but let's be honest guys, when you go home, do you honestly shave every single day, or for some guys twice a day, in order to maintain a clean-cut appearance like you should when you're following the honor code?
“Is this sexist?” No! BOTH men & women can do it. You’ll see that the honor code never says that they can’t if you go here.
"What type of Moustache should I wear?" Anything you choose, so long as it follows the honor code which states: If worn, moustaches should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth. I plan on studying different styles for many days and pondering on the matter before I select one, And then come January 8th, Moustache Day Eve I will sculpt my moustache into the shape I want it to be.
And if you ever get down in the mouth over the break while trying to grow a moustache, just think about the joy and happiness you will feel while walking around on Campus, and then go look yourself in the eye (in the mirror of course, unless you have some other way of looking yourself in the eye) and say to yourself, "I can grow this moustache darnit! And I will!" and come Moustache Day, everybody will be happy.
