So, I need to enlist you fine folks for the most important vote of my summer. No, it isn\'t what should I do on my honeymoon in Italy, or what my first improvement to my new house in the picturesque Town of Tonawanda should be.
It\'s what upper lip facial hair I should be rocking this weekend. And you can help pick it by clicking here.
My good pal Erik is getting married, and he's chosen one excellent option for his bachelor party. We're headed to Ohio for a Friday night interleague game between the Indians and Reds in Cleveland, followed Saturday by the Columbus Crew/Colorado Rapids in an MLS event and a late-night performance by good friends Two Cow Garage.
His only demand, besides paying for his stuff, is everyone has a moustache. Now, this has forced me into the relatively uncomfortable position of a full beard for the last month, preparing to make the most impressive mark on the weekend. You can see what I'm working with above, now help me choose "the look."
OPTION 1: "The Hernandez"
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/hernandez_mustache.jpg\")
Classy, old-school, willing to fight with friends, also known as "The Burt"
OPTION 2- Burnsides
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/mustache.jpg\")
Not quite this fantastic, but some pomade to make the \'stache curled. I\'ve checked... I can do it.
OPTION 3- "The Awesome"
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/mustache0120.jpg\")
Probably the front-runner. Stretched out and pomade-d to points.
Also known as "The Morrison"
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/morrison-mustache-lady.jpg\")
Adam Morrison\'s top stache plus soul patch
OPTION 4- "Broadway Joe"
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/joe%2520namath%2520mustache.jpg\")
The revised "fu manchu." It might be creepier than Tim Connolly's full-manchu.
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/TimConnollyStache.jpg\")
OPTION 5- Curly-bird or "The Bleyle"
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/burtreynolds3a.jpg\")
Mine wouldn't be as glorious, but what more can I say? My former math teacher at Kenmore East, Mr. Bleyle, did the wax-tip curl, and it was fantastic.
Finally... OPTION 6- Pencil-thin
![\"\"](\"http://imgsrv.wgr550.com/image/wgr/UserFiles/Image/cardboard-icon-olaf-kolzig-back.jpg\")
Kid-tested, Kolzig-approved.
Please go here to vote. It\'s in the right-hand column.
And a tribute to the Mendola family, who\'ve successfully rocked moustaches for years. Great work, Pops! And as always, if I could pull the Paul Hamilton, I would.
