We here at the hookup don’t just love FireWire adaptors. We also love Angela, Pamela, Sandra, and Rita. And you know who else does? Forgotten (but not in his native Germany) “singer” of yesteryear Lou Bega:

In honor of this cosmic connection, several of the vital young squires here at the HookUp took last wednesday as a special opportunity to celebrate Bega and his nobel-prizeworthy roaring-20’s rehash. BUT WAIT, you say, Lou Bega has a girl in Paris, a girl in Rome, and he’s even got a girl in the Vatican dome! What about you guys?

So instead, we grew moustaches. Bega moustaches. The week worth of shaggy faces it took to grow them out totally paid off when we all arrived looking dapper, one might even say “boffo.” Many customers were unable to identify exactly why we were all looking so good this particular day…okay, Williamsburg, the cat’s out of the bag–it was the moustaches. Please enjoy this winsome gallery of finely groomed cookiedusters and don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming, “a little bit of Jessica/here I am/a little bit of you/makes me your man/WHOOOAOAAA”

by this point i think we can all agree that Bega day was a huge success. The hardest part of the day was not running off to the “liquor sto’/’round the co’nah.” In summary, this rare, collector’s edition Bega day sticker is valued by Sotheby’s at just over $2.95 USD. No one knows where it went–some lucky person somewhere is sitting on a literal shaving of a goldmine.

Stay tuned, folks. This will NOT be the last theme day at the HookUp.
