Time to start the "Don't Trash the 'Stash" movement. Here is your own Jack Layton moustache kit.* All you need to do is print out the ohot above, cut on the dotted line, poke out the two holes and add a string. Show your love of Jack! and your support of the NDP with your own mini-Larry Robinson face rug. Wear it at work and on the street.
Including today there are only seven days to the ballot count. Time to make a stand. Time to wear a silly paper moustacheo.
*If you need to make your own or share this, here is the NDP image from which this was taken. Warning - large image of Jack's head.

Or you could just, you know, not shave your upper lip for a couple of days.

You made my morning! Especially after reading Liam's 6th day of nonsense... :D

I grew a moustache in honour of Jack's run. Then I shaved it off again a couple days ago. Maybe it is time to bring it back.

If the greying hair wouldn't look horribly out-of-place with the rest of my (sadly non-grey) goatee, I would dye my 'stache grey just for the hell of it.
I think Jack should do a satirical rap video in the style of those old "Ed's Back" ads. Might not get him any more voters, but it would be pretty darn funny.
Unfortunately, if there's one thing we've learned about Jack during his countless millenia on Toronto city council, it's that his stuffed-shirt quotient is a wee bit high to engage in self-deprecation on the national stage.

I am sorry, gentlemen, but you really have to hang a paper version from your face if this movement is going to have any traction. You have to commit to being silly for Jack, for the nation.

Well I did my part. I now sport my own snap-on Harper Hair...

Just for giggles of course :)

Just like you think Harper could pick up five points by ditching the contacts for a pair of real glasses, I think that Jack could score some points by shaving the 'stache and looking all serious-like.
Not that he isn't overly serious already, but I mean he'd pick up some kind of mean-serious look. Like he could deck someone and was a threat to do so. Socialists need that sort of thing, I think. Stops them from looking like wimps. Whereas conservatives need a kindly look -- which the glasses help with -- so that people don't think that they're too, too mean.

Sure but right now... all I can think of is the Software Professor...
"Try my product".

If Layton shaved the 'stache and the rest of his head, and got a little gold hoop, do you think he could pass for Mr Clean?
Alan - January 17, 2006 10:58 PM
No - that would be Stockwell Day with a shaved head and on steroids.

Snicker. Tried to trackback to this.
You may find this amusing.
Or you may not. It's meant in jest.
Cheers,

That is a lot of effort to spam only to have the critical sections deleted.
