MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: GREG NORTON
For today: Husker Du bassist Greg Norton, who possessed a fine handlebar mustache in the early 80s when it was madness to have anything but the Selleck Stripe.

Happy Mustache Wednesday, motherfuckers! It makes no sense at all.

I know it’s not *technically* the same, but I always think of Joe Dirt when I hear Husker Du. As in:
“You’re gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don’t have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?”

Husker DO rocked in college, between them and the Violent Femmes! We need more 80s music.

He kind of looks like Brendan Fraser trying to conceal his identity from the Mob, doesn’t he?

What is the obsession with a mustache? Please enlighten me.
I don’t know what is worse, face hair or seersucker on a guy.

A good book to pass the time…
Oklahoma Vs Texas: When Football Becomes War by Robert Heard. A little biased towards UT, but a good read.

Is it weird that I find this more disturbing than the Zardoz posting of a week ago?

My first thought on seeing that picture was also to make a crack about Greg being the straight one. I’m glad that I’m not the only one to find that ironic.

The picture alone shows what was sooo wrong growing up and the 80s and what was so right in the same picture

Of course he’s the straight one. No self-respecting gay guy would wear a moustache like that.
Also, Dead Milkmen and Hüsker Dü on back to back days? 119 cocktails to you, Orson.

I think the only way this entry could be improved is, after the greeting, today is always new day rising.

You know, before today, I just thought ya’ll’s blog was great for the funny splooge about college football. But you’ve just taken it to a new level: you’ve acknolwledge Husker Du. I fucking love Husker Du.
How the hell does a UF Alum know who the Huskers are?
I’m in Massachusetts now. But when I get back down to Atlanta, I am totally stalking you guys. (No, not gay.)
Also: it is just wrong to reference Greg Norton’s ’stache, yet not give him props for his Restaurant in Minnesota (I totally want to go):
