Who is this bringing back the 'stache?

Flipping through some pics from 2007, I ran across this one.

I've bumped into several people lately who are growing out the mus-trash. The conversation on my end goes something like, 'nice facial hair. Did you go to a costume party as a child molester, or something?'

Twice, in recent months, I've had this response: "No. What makes you think I'm trying to be funny. (straight face, awkward silence, I find reason to walk away)"

So that's it. Somebody's trying to bring back the 'stache, and I'd like to know who it is. It sure doesn't look good on me.
