Another seminarian and I decided to dress up as Mario and Luigi. We came up with the idea back in April or May: it was the perfect plan. First of all, his name actually is Mario. Second, we're both the right size to portray the sibling plumbers. Finally, he normally wears a beard, and I already had the moustache. So, he was just going to cut his beard into a moustache, and voila: Super Mario Bros.
But, there was a big complication - I shaved my moustache a month before Halloween, and I had [have] no intention of growing it back. Luckily, the costumes we got came each with a fake moustache. This just made the act even funnier when we presented our costumes for the NAC costume contest.
Mario proceeded as planned and cut his beard, but to solve my predicament, I just came on stage without facial hair - Mario was aghast, and asked, "how can we save the Princess if you don't have a moustache?" [in the appropriate Italian accent]. I slowly came to the realization that I was lacking the necessary hirsute appendage and also began to panic. In the hysteria, I reached off stage and found the moustache, which I put on with much ceremony.

| We won! |
The crowd (seminarians and priests) loved it, especially since everyone around here seems to miss the moustache a great deal. It was sort of like the farewell party they never got to have.
