Inspecting the competition.

Smugly acknowledging his fine 'stache.

Today I was going to pull a picture of Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride as my mustache-crush of the week. However, while searching for an image, I realized that while Montoya has an excellently well proportioned pyramidal Chevron-style mustache nicely situated on his upper lip I actually had to stop and do a double take on Wesley’s pencil-thin painter’s brush. “Meek,” perhaps some would say in the face of Montoya’s shapely facial furniture. However, there is something eloquent and dignified about Wesley’s tache, a facial hair haiku if you will. “Adolescent,” others would deride. And, pitted against Montoya’s fine stache and velvety thatch of brambly chest hair, Wesley’s bare-chested, conceptual stache does intially seem far inferior.

But… I think this may come down to a matter of taste–sort of like, did you like the hot longhair elf Legolas, or the husky bearded human Aragorn in LOTR? (By the way, I shamefully couldn’t remember his name, so my google search was: “Hot, Human, Not Elf, Beard” and surprisingly it worked!) I don’t know, what do you guys think?
