MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: MICHAEL PHELPS
Our Mustache Wednesday nomination for today is, appropriately enough, the bling-y swimmer Michael Phelps.

Happy Mustache Wednesday, motherfuckers!
Good work, son. Now pull your swimsuit up before you show the universe your medal stand. (HT: Paul.)

Can you call that a mustache? Isn’t it technically a goatee?

It’s hard to tell, but it might be a Pat Hill styled fu manchu.

He’s an Olympic hero for sure, but that facial hair doesn’t make him look any less like a guy who inhales when he laughs.

since he shaved it off, doesn’t that disqualify him.
whatever, Spitz has the better lip sweater even if Phelps breaks his records.

Phelps will pull up his swimsuit when the women’s beach volleyball team finds uniforms more suitable for vigorous exercise including repeated jumping and diving in sand.

This should be filed under Mustaches. And maybe something else, too.

6, There is nothing wrong with the uniforms worn by the women’s beach volleyball teams. Curse you for suggesting otherwise.

socalbryan, my husband agrees with you — the potential for a wardrobe malfunction is part of the draw. I’m not saying they are not aesthetically pleasing, just that they are impractical — the amount of abrasive sand that must get into the most sensitive spots is frightening.
And there’s also nothing wrong with the rise on the swim trunks of male olympic swimmers.

9 – I agree on the men’s swimming ensembles vs the women’s volleyball player outfits. Hell. Men’s volleyball players wear shorts and and shirts and 90% of the time they look just as good as swimmers!

When Phelps wears his suit low, he can show off his Olympic and block M hip tattoos.

Excellent Mustache Wednesday choice. I was hoping it would be a Spitz/Phelps diptych, but this is good, too.
Go Blue!

Leave Phelps’ swimwear alone…if the women volleyball players wear bikini outfits, then Phelps can pull his trunks as low as they’ll go! He’s hot! hot! hot!
