MOUSTACHE THURSDAY: MARK SPITZ
Today’s Moustache Thursday, which is certainly not to be confused with Mustache Wednesday, is Olympian hero Mark Spitz!

Spitz, as you may recall, won seven gold medals in Munich in 1972, an unbroken record to this day. If you’re under 40, you may not know that regardless of her marital status at the time, your mother wanted to fuck the living shit out of Mark Spitz. Well, at least until he talked, anyway. So you may lament the fact that when you look in the mirror, you don’t see what’s staring back at you right here. Blame your mother’s lack of dedication. If she wanted Spitz, she should have tried harder, and now look at you.
Happy Moustache Thursday, motherfuckers!

For those of us born a couple years after the Munich games, we recall our mothers being infatuated with another mustachioed mountain of masculinity: Tom Selleck!

How much faster could he have swum without the stache and eyebrows? I used swum in a sentence!

I also like swimmers, but they have to be non-East German females.

Chop Blocking son of a bitch. With every gold medal he lost a bit of his soul.

I like to go swimming with bow-legged women.

It never occurred to me that I could have been a “Spitz-spawn”, nor that my mother ever wanted to fuck the living shit out of anything…am I naive? On another note, and from a hetero-male perspective…that guy looks gay, and that moustache is no more than a mouth-muff.

I’m pretty sure my mom would have left either of her husbands for Elvis if he made the offer. I’m not so sure he didn’t. I’m a hunk of burning love myself, so I could be a Elvis-spawn and my mom was the president of the local Elvis fan club in the town she lived in growing up.
That Spitz photo keeps wanting me to say, “Swimming medals- The White Man’s Bling, yo!”

If you want to know which high school in your state is the “whitest,” just see which ones have swim teams that are perrenial powers. It’s not that minorities can’t excel at swimming (or tennis, or cross-country), but why would they want to?

#14 - Reminds me of a bad joke.
Why does Mexico not have a good Olympic team?
Because everyone who can run, jump, or swim has already crossed the border.
