"Mustache" is not pluralized with "'s."
Sigh.
It’s definitely not pluralized with ‘s but it seems mustaches or even moustaches is acceptable. It even appears that mustaches was singular at one time. Language is forever changing. Check out the interesting article:

That was much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Here in Canada, where we take much (but not all) of our spelling cues from the British, we spell it moustache. I still find there to be a visual difference between the two, where the American spelling mustache evokes the image of a scruffy cowboy and moustache is more evocative of someone in a dinner jacket. Ahh, the english language is endlessly fascinating.

Too funny about the "perv stache" Styles.
I didn't notice the shaved legs Terry until you mentioned it There has to be a funny back story attached to it? Maybe they had some sort of double dare contest going on with the gang that day or even worse a triple dog dare.....where they all got matching tattoos as well I'm sure they were drinking some Coops liquid courage that day and just got carried away! Joking aside....it's a great pic of them having some fun while supporting a good cause!
Apologies if someone has already posted this somewhere else in MM.
Hi Kenji,
These guys were having good classic MPI fun while supporting a good cause. They were also paying proper attention to detail. I never noticed this detail before on my DVD collection. However I am now viewing Magnum PI daily on Hallmark in full HD. Anyway tonight I watched "The Woman On The Beach" followed by " From Moscow To Maui". The clarity of the HD resolution clearly shows TS has shaved his legs for these episodes. I suggest only TS, even in the '80's could get away with this
"Oh Jonathan !....oh Jonathan, come quickly ...... your hot cross buns are smoking".

That's a really neat photo Kenji posted. Terry, my friend Tim shaves his chest and legs.
He is a gym rat and claims the shaved look is in vogue now.
I also saw a talk show with two married professors who maintained male body hair is a manifestation of traditional male oppression.
I guess that makes Magnum a bad man.
Frankly, the longer this new century goes on the less I have a clue to what's going on.
By the way, maybe some of those guy's in the link Kenji provided were diabetics, they often lose their leg hair.
