But we like them anyhow.

Shadow Country. We like Florida. We like stories about Ole Florida. We think Peter Mathiessen is top shelf. We loved this when it was Killing Mr. Watson, Lost Man’s River, and Bone By Bone.  We’re not even done with this yet and we think it’s the best book from 2008. Buy this book, dammit.

    And the video of rich people catching trout? You still have not delivered.

  2. I’ve got the Striper shirt, but no damn mustache kit. I knew I was missing something.

  3. I come back from a meeting, see this in the feed reader, and rush on over hoping fricken Roughfisher hasn’t had a chance to make a wisecrack about the mustache kit.

    Bastard!

  4. I don’t understand. Are you guys mocking products that lead to personal improvement?

  5. I’m mocking my own ability to grow a mustache.

    You’re missing something from the food and beverage group. How about an Old Thumper from Shipyard Brewing Co.?

  6. Does it come in gift appropriate 40 oz containers?

  7. I know you are mocking mustaches because of what I did to the Dolphins. I’ll get you for this you stache hating bigot bastard.

  8. Dose the stache kit come with dye? Mine is going grey on me….placing my bid…

  9. I think this is more for having a well-trimmed, well groomed mustache like Dave Wannstedt or Walker Texas Ranger.

  10. “You know they say that Chuck Norris is so though, there is no chin under his beard? There is only another fist”

  11. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

  12. Mocking personal improvement? In this form, yes. Now, if the mustache kit was actually a book entitled…

    …and Oprah was about to give it the ‘book club’ stamp, then maybe I’d approve.
