A mustached American muses flick picks

As our 13.5 loyal readers know, the AMI always supports those who support the mustache, the AMI, or lunacy in general. Kristin Otten, a former Harley-Davidson owner and all-around cutie who is pictured on the right here, is one of these people.  

Kristin was one of the brave souls who attended the inaugural AMI 'Stache Bash in 2006 before the mustache had begun its comeback. Kristin has actually beaten down three men in broad daylight for not pausing to salute mustached American on St. Louis street corners. And Kristen gave the shirt off her back to a mustached American who was down on his luck and living on the bank of the Mississippi River wearing only a thong.

Now comes word that Kristin's father Nick, a long-time mustached American and goat herder, has a new feature column on the Web site of the austere St. Louis Beacon which includes his latest film and book picks with brief commentary about each. And while he does not include mention of  "Smokey & The Bandit," " Shaft," or any film vehicle starring Billy Dee Williams - we bring you his column - which you can read here - and encourage you to visit him each week for his picks and musings.

From fine newer non-mustached vehicles like "Juno" to "Tom Jones" to "Where the Sidewalk Ends," Nick's column is a solid venue for ideas on film or those bound pages people call "books."

 

The support of you - the Mustacheologists - is not only requested, but expected. Besides, it'll help Nick keep the gig. So help a brutha out.

 

Carry on.

Being linked to your organization makes the few hairs atop my head stand on end. I can see at a mere glance that you guys are very busy with important stuff. While I have not specifically talked about mustaches in either my book commentaries or movie commentaries on Nick's List, you can be sure I'll watch for an opening.

For now, note that Mark Twain, my favorite American author, sported one of the finest mustaches in our history. Also, I read around in the ancient philosophers and those guys were all pretty hairy. Some day soon I would like to be an ancient philosopher myself. As for the movies, all mustaches were honored for all time — actually, three times — in one single classic western: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
