We tease someone we know all the time because he has a mustache. It was his birthday so we all got into the act. When he showed up, all of us turned around and said "Happy Birthday!" looking like this. It was great.

When Adam wears this mustache, I greet him with "Heeeey Maario!"

What would make you question a friendship?
Submitted by stueykins.

This is a tough question - because friendships are supposed to last through thick and thin. Even during those times when you aren't even talking to each other, that for almost any reason things will get better - you'll make up and your friendship will be stronger for it.

However, there is one thing that would make me question a friendship. One extremely wrong, horrible thing anyone could possibly do...

and that is ...

...be a fan of Nicolas Cage.

I could barely type it, it's such a dreadful thought. ::shudder::
