Nick is the Biker in the Village People? It all makes sense now.

[Fake Name]

I was obsessively refreshing H&R until this video came up. What a dude won't do to get one more glimpse of the 'stache.

Was this show taped before Varney? In Varney the 'stache was even more glorious.

Come on Nick grow one again!!

No.1 'stache fan

[Thorny]

Who wants a mustache ride?

[Otter]

The libertarian canon: Hayek, Mises, Friedman, and Super Troopers.

"Dr. Fu Manchu is a fictional character introduced in a series of novels by British author Sax Rohmer during the first half of the 20th century."

[Confuse Us]

Many man smoke, but Fu Manchu.

[sevo]

Who flung poo?

[MB]

And the funny thing is, he was described as clean shaven in the books.

Soooo, Fu Manchu did NOT have a 'fu manchu mustache'. Most people's image of Fu Manchu come from later movies and serials. Ming the Merciless is probably who people are thinking of when thinking of Fu Manchu.

[Fuck off Heller]

Gay 70's porn. He's missing a large lapel white shirt, a gold chain and the music

[Captain Holly]

Sounds like you're very familiar with that genre of adult entertainment. 😉

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

[Kant feel Pietzsche]

I swear, all I can think is "Bow-chicka-wow-wow" 70's pornstache flashback....

[Kant feel Pietzsche]

Damn, nipped by a blogwhore by mere seconds.

[Fuck off Heller]

KFP
Next time quit masturbating to your classic porn and type with two hands. 😉

Lemmy!

[Adamson]

Gurl, the sideburns, moustache, hair and jacket *all* have to go.

[DDavis]

What is it with Reason and facial hair lately?

First Moynihan's scraggly beard, and now Nick auditions for a 70s retrospective with Stagliano.

There's only one place to go now: Mutton Chops!

Nick, really, no one can hear a word that you say with that thing on your lip.

[DDavis]

Sorry Moynihan, that was Matt Welch's scraggly beard.

[sevo]

Nick,
When the style gets in the way of the message, you have a problem.
You have a problem. What did Tibor say?

[Rrabbit]

Nick, I support your right to look like it is still the 1970s.

[yonemoto]

I thought the napolitano vid was funny, the good judge was basically holding back his laughs the whole time.

[latex slips]

Lemmy!

[Hazel Meade]

Just out of curiosity, but, do women exist who find mustaches attractive? Because I have not met any.

[rather]

I like an unshaven man

[Mr Whipple]

I like an unshaven woman.

[Madbiker]

Mr. Biker had a stache just like the Jacket's, and I loved it. Now it's becoming a goatee. Still love it.

[rather]

The women need to have their own thread. We could talk about their bodies for a change.

[Shelby]

There are indeed women who find mustaches sexy.* But not handlebars. What was merely pathetic becomes tragic -- distracting from important messages, and suggesting that libertarians are indeed merely pathetic dweebs who can be safely ignored.**

* Not being a woman, I'm not among them.
** Tongue firmly in -- uh -- cheek. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Nor West]

I had a 'stache like that when I was involved in SASS shooting games... it was for my persona y'know, and I lived in the Southwest. BTW it didn't do anything to improve my accuracy or speed.

[Mr Whipple]

Does this mean Stossel will be getting a biker's leather jacket? They can hit the Blue Oyster Bar together.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Troy]

I think some people here are obviously very jealous and envious of the `stache.

[GILMORE]

Sorry, I think this crosses the line. Many lines. I can't take a man in a Fu Manchu seriously.

Unless... your name is Lemmy.

[Mr Whipple]

Please, try to keep an open mind.

[rhea]

It is sad to see our government so polarized and divided. If our politicians put in half as much effort into crossing the divide and addressing real, pertinent issues as they did slinging mud at each other and playing this horrible game of he said, she said, we might actually have an efficient government. America's real problem is that we have lost sight of the real issues at hand and instead we focus on these petty social issues that will never go away nor will ever be agreed upon. Washington needs to lead by example and put the issues aside that will never have a majority ruling.

The politicians will most likely take the easy way out by printing us into hyper-inflation rather than admit their folly and take the responsible action of implementing Greek-style austerity. Either way, it's not going to be pretty.

Stop straying off topic 😛

The table he's sitting at hides the bell bottom trousers and platform boots.

[Jeff]

For God's sake, Nick, shave that thing!
