It appears they have neglected mention of "The Sanchez"


We’ve no earthly idea what is going on here but its MEMRI so we’ll assume its perfectly legit so let's just uhhh, roll tape:

Following are excerpts from an interview with members of the Egyptian Unique Moustache Association, which aired on Egyptian TV on July 11, 2008.

Interviewer: "I'm sure many people have pressured you to shave off your moustache, saying, 'What is this? Enough of that.'"

Association head Fathi Ahmad Mahmoud "Moustache": "My personality forces people to treat me with respect."

Interviewer: "Didn't your friends, relatives, your wife, or your children say 'Enough is enough?'"

Fathi Ahmad Mahmoud "Moustache": "They are all proud of me. My youngest boy, Nader, calls himself 'Nader Moustache.' Get it? All his friends call him 'Nader Moustache.'"
[...]
Interviewer: "Do you respect all types of moustaches - regardless of their size, length, or width?"

Allam Muhammad Abdel Al-Halim: "Of course."

Interviewer: "Even Hitler's moustache?"

Captain Sayyed Shahada: "By the way, I respect the moustache of this Hitler, because he humiliated the most despicable sect in the world. He subdued the people who subdued the whole world - him with his '11' moustache. By the way, that kind of moustache is called '11.' The generation of this Hitler... When I was little, my father, may he rest in peace, grew that kind of moustache, and so did all his classmates. They all had this '11' moustache. That was in the days of Hitler...

Fathi Ahmad Mahmoud "Moustache": "We have different styles. One style is 'the Douglas.' Then there's 'the Pretzel,' which is rolled like this... The 'Two Swords' style stands up like that... The 'Mafroud' is flat like a ruler. Another style is the 'Carter,' which comes out from here and is very wide."

Interviewer: "What is it called?"

Fathi Ahmad Mahmoud "Moustache": "The 'Carter.' We have two special hair designers, Muhammad Salomon and Yasser Imam. They are the association's designers. They designed all these styles." [...]



Video of this auspicious and enlightening occasion can be found here.

And what of Hitler's mustache and this "11" business? Ah, wait a minute. It seems the #11 holds strange and mystical powers over those who come under its spell.



We will be standing by for reaction from the American Mustache Institute who has been crusading for a Super Bowl Saturday vs. a Super Sunday, an idea of which we whole-heartedly concur. We can't imagine the lads will be treating the EUMA with a soft touch.

You are clearly a wise humanoid, and the American Mustache Institute - the bravest organization save the U.S. Military and the Muppets - is carefully tracking your exploits. To your readers and you, we leave you with this - never forget that each time a mustache is shaved, an angel in heaven dies and falls to earth.
