Queer Eye for the Dictator

keywords: style, dictatorship, moustache

dapper SaddamIs it me, or has being deposed and incarcerated made Saddam one damn good-looking man? Do they have publicly appointed fashion consultants in war-criminal prison? Here are the 4 major improvements I've noticed starting from the top down.

  • No more red beret - Do I really have to explain? Show the world that beautifully thick head of hair now that the lice have been removed.
  • New Beard - I think it works quite well for him, much better than the sorta-gay caterpillar moustache he used to rock.
  • New Suit - The only person to wear epilets and cream isn't his color. His new suit is very modern and tasteful. And the no-tie thing says I'm modern and I don't recognize the authority of this mock trial!
  • Slimmer - A year or two in the joint never hurt anyone. My man Saddam has lost some major weight and looks much healthier overall. Its easy to skip working out when you are running a dictatorship, now he has no excuses.

    The new Saddam really carries more of a sophisticated air about him. Instead of killing women and children you could imagine him at an upscale betting parlor discussing literature over an aged scotch. He's so L.A. I'm waiting to see him pull out his iPod.

    lotta mercy!Sorry it's been a while since the last post, things have become kinda busy. Plus there just isn't much dork news lately. If this were a gadget site i could just post the 10 to 15 variously branded MP3 players, PDAs and Personal Media players that come out daily but that would be insulting to the readers. Unfornately if I can't make fun of it or say something negative, sarcastic, self depricating, or snarky, I can't post it. I'll pick up again starting next week.

    Middle Earth 2005 Photoshop Contest

    Trogfegl want Mochaccino, no Latte!TPS reports! Smash! Worth1000.com's latest photoshopping contest (that's right Adobe, I used the term photoshopping incorrectly) is incorporating Lord of the Rings magic and imagery into modern day settings. On a related note, since Dick Cheney controls the world, is rarely visible, and survived like 14 heart attacks, my guess is that he possesses the One Ring.

    The Amazing Amalgam of Moustachioed Men

    keywords: moustache rides

    The Praying MantisA right savage 'Tash guvnah! I tried growing my beard out for a month and gave up cause it just ended up making me look like I'm homeless/Kevin Federline. Apparently the secret is a tophat, a monocle, and a lot of wax. Last week the World Beard and Moustache Championships were held in Germany (duh). There are categories for both Solo and Teams in moustaches, goatees, and full beards each with a set of sub-styles. Natural, English, Handlebar, Imperial, or Freestyle, how about best-in-show?
