    You did it!$1m plus for slashthestache.com! So I will keep my part of the bargain and surrender the stache at 7:15 on @ Morning_Joe!

    Those who donated actually beat the $1 million by $50,000.  Of course it's all facial hair and will grow back, but if you're feeling nostalgic, this tribute will get you through those cold moustache-less nights.
