Ankiel Stache Yanked in 1st Inning
by Misopogon | May 5th, 2009We here at the Wright Stache believe that while you should always accept the mustache when it calls upon you, a stache cannot be grown just for the sake of it.
Such was the sad case of Rick Ankiel’s newly erstwhile mustache. Like its bearer, Ankiel’s mustache looked hot from the start, but suddenly, inexplicably turned wild.
Services for the fallen barbs, which are now making their way through the St. Louis Metropolitan Wastewater System, were held last week at the American Mustache Institute.
The passing of Ankiel’s young cover did, however, provide one last parting gift, serving as the impetus for AMI bloggers to discover the word “labia sebucula.”
It’s Latin.
It means “lip sweater.”
And for bloggers staring down a 162-game season of writing about mustaches, every available synonym for “mustache” is pure gold.
Thus we bid adieu to the unfortunate Ankielstache. You couldn’t make it out of the 1st inning. But in your few furry days of existence, you certainly left us some wonderful memories.
Ed. Note: We at The Wright Stache were thrilled to hear that Rick Ankiel was not seriously injured after his collision with the wall last night. Neck/back injuries are no laughing matter. No word yet on whether a mustache would have provided some padding.
