Halloween Costume Update (with mustache dye)!

Bob Swersky standing in for my brother Bill. When I tried on my Halloween costume (one of the Superfan's from SNL), I shaved my beard into a handlebar mustache and figured out one thing: I can't pull off a mustache. You have to look at the picture on the left real…
