Back by popular demand, it's another round of Friday Facial Hair Face Off!!!
Last week's Face Off was hotly contested, with former U.S. Senate candidate Pete Coors pulling out an 84-73 victory over Congressman Mark Udall to claim the coolest eyebrow championship (that's a 54-47% margin, folks). One of Udall's top advisors, Alan Salazar, cast a proxy vote for Coors on behalf of his boss:
Mark Udall has asked me to post his proxy vote on behalf of Pete Coors --which may be the first and only time a Udall will endorse a Coors (but you never know)....Posted by: Alan Salazar | March 25, 2005 11:27 AM
Later in the day, the Udall camp had decided to throw in the towel:
It looks to me like a landslide for Pete. Not wanting to prolong this thing with a debate about proxies or recounts, Mark has authorized me to throw in the towel now and not mount any challenges. He's glad to conceed this eyebrow thing and thinks Mr. Coors deserves the prize. Posted by: Alan Salazar | March 26, 2005 01:00 PM
And so, with the eyebrow championship out of the way, we thought it time to resurrect the moustache question. Among possible candidates for Governor, only former Congressman Scott McInnis has the real deal. An unfair advantage, you ask? Perhaps, so the only democratic thing to do is put it to a vote. Here are artist renderings of what some of the other top candidates might look like with a moustache.
First off, you'll notice that Congressman Beauprez looks suspiciously like the bad guy who ties the girl to the railroad tracks. John Hickenlooper doesn't look all that different, but Marc Holtzman looks like the French version of himself. Mike Coffman looks as though he is investigating a crime for the FBI. Joan Fitz-Gerald...um, we're not touching that one. Andrew Romanoff becomes a French waiter, Bill Ritter turns into a Wild West sheriff, and Rutt Bridges looks like a glamour shot gone horribly wrong. Is anyone worthy of usurping McInnis and his real moustache? Let's take it to the people! Vote below...
Frankly, Romo doesn't look half bad. Maybe he can put a solid coalition together.

Are Beauprez's eyes that far apart in person or is that just a bad photo?
And you made Rutt Bridges look like my boss, which is evil. Now I'll be thinking that when I go meet with him tomorrow.

I hate to say this, because Andy Romanoff's one of my homeboys from Columbus, OH...but he doesn't just look like any French waiter; he looks like the French waiter from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Hickenlooper looks like Hitler on a bad hair day. Does McInnis die his Lip and Head at the same time because it's done really well? Rutt looks like an out of work 70's adult film star. Good job to the folks at Colorado Pols this is pretty funny.

Any woman that grow a 'stache like that gets my vote!

I think that moustache makes Romanoff look like Johnny Dangerously. What an appropriate topic for today!

With all the talk about gay marriage I think all these photos fit a casting call for the New Village People. Coffman has more hair on his lip than his head . Fitz looks better with a Stach. Romo get's the nod for "guy who should not grow a Moooostache". Rutt should spend some $$$ and buy a better hair piece for his lip. Beauprez's banks would fail with that thing. Holtzman should go Goatee.

Fitz-gerald looks sexier with a mustach. It fits her manly bodily features!

Hey Underdog-what do you look like with a mustache?
Posted by: Overdog | April 01, 2005 at 11:25 AM
There it is...the first obvious joke. Colorado Underdog is the unofficial winner.

Ask your mom...had one last night when I went down on her. She is quite hairy! Please urge her to shave!
Posted by: Colorado_Underdog | April 01, 2005 at 11:27 AM
But seriously, please keep it as respectful as possible.

Overdog-
April Fools! I didn't go down on your Mom last night. I did it two weeks ago!

I see that the college republicans are back.
Underdog-
The joke is on you that was not my mom, it was the family dog but then given your past few girlfriends I doubt you would know the difference.
Posted by: OverDog | April 01, 2005 at 11:42 AM
Does anyone else think Underdog and Overdog are in reality just one person having a conversation in what seems to be his or her own private world?
Posted by: Alfalfa | April 01, 2005 at 12:23 PM
I do, there is always one in the crowd who takes the joke to far. I think Ritter will actually grow a moustache as pictured above to fit in the law firm with Strickland and McInnis. They must have "the hair club for men" as a client.

Surely we can write in Rocky columnist Mike Littwin as a candidate.
Posted by: LA | April 01, 2005 at 02:14 PM
Litwins hair is so out of control its hard to tell where the mop on his head ends and his facial hair begins. That guy must be a member of the Ted Kazanski (sp?) fan club.

Overdog-
Don't be talking about your Mom that way. It's not nice. College Republicans are back???? Who in the hell are the College Republicans??? Aren't they a wortheless organization built on the coat tails of the College Sex and Rock and Rolls?
