Sometimes facial hair is not meant to be a bombastic statement declaring your masculinity. Instead, it can be the mere suggestion of facial follicles, subtly providing masculinity's essence. The epitome of this sort of scruff is the pencil-thin mustache.Though it's currently not the most popular style, we can't help but respect those who've rocked a pencil-thin from cult movie director John Waters to surrealist artist Salvador Dali. So we asked Jon Chattman, coauthor of "The Book of 'Bert,'" to give us a list of the most famous folks who've donned this thinly shorn 'stache.

You want a rant like LewisBlack! It gets sickening when your computer server continues to use the excuse that you need an update to make a political statement about John McCain and his insane choice for VicePresident! There's no excuse for him to complain about Obama not having enough experience an then pick the like's of Sarah Palin for a brethe away from being the no2 when he is as old as dirt and passing gas could cause him to keel over! Can you see her as president? I can understand HilleryClinton because she has no doubt gone through the change of life but this woman is still blackmailing people that don't do what she wants and if he does keel we are in real trouble!!! I am scarred as hell at the thought of this woman being president, I mean look in her eye's and tell me she does'nt look like a dear that just looked up and noticed an 18wheeler headed her way. Five kid's would do it for me but V.P. on top of it, no freggin way!!! Just look at that face, she ain't gonna make it I tell ya! Good luck, duck!
