People were pointing at him, smiling at him, shouting his name\u2014or rather his new name.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Tribble is &#8230; the Mustache Guy. Well, sometimes Jumbotron Guy. But mostly the Mustache Guy, which the Mustache Guy prefers. And the Mustache Guy is kind of a big deal. People know him. Which is kind of funny considering the whole mustache thing was a Ron Burgundy inspired, month-to-grow joke for Fiji picture day a week or so back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I kept it (the mustache) throughout the week just to heckle my family when I saw them.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But, if you need other stories, here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/mobile.nytimes.com\/2015\/09\/30\/business\/behaviorists-show-the-us-how-to-improve-government-operations.html?referer=&#038;_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">a super creepy one<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The federal government found a clever way to make a little extra money last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Some vendors who provide federal agencies with goods and services as varied as paper clips and translators were given a slightly different version of the form used to report rebates they owe the government.<\/p>\n<p>The only difference: The signature box was at the beginning of the form rather than the end. The result: a rash of honesty. Companies using the new form acknowledged they owed an extra $1.59 million in rebates during the three-month experiment, apparently because promising to be truthful at the outset actually caused them to answer more truthfully.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And just to get your mind off the behavioral engineering, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2015\/09\/madison_county_bigamist_murder.html\" target=\"_blank\">the weirdest, saddest, grossest story you will need today<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Madison County family slain this summer was shot and stabbed before their home was allegedly burned to the ground by the husband and father of two of the victims.  <\/p>\n<p>Details of the bloody Aug. 4 slayings in New Market came out Tuesday afternoon during a preliminary hearing for Christopher Matthew Henderson, an alleged bigamist facing seven counts of capital murder. Henderson, 40, and the first of his wives, 42-year-old Rhonda Carlson, are each charged with multiple counts of capital murder in the slayings of his other wife and several members of her family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, finally, a story you can listen to, with Trussville Tribune editor Scott Buttram as my guest:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75%\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/226165841&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\"><\/iframe><center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is that time of year again, when the art students are covering the windows in the university center with &#8230; tape.
