Finkle's Fur Lips

If you got the title reference to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, you know that Finkle refers to Ray Finkle, the infamous Miami Dolphins kicker who missed a field goal to claim a championship win (in the movie of course).    If you don't recall this, I will now provide an interlude of both the dialog and a short clip:

Ace Ventura: Hi, I'm looking for Ray Finkle.

[Shotgun comes out of door, pointing at Ace.]

Ace Ventura: ...and a clean pair of shorts!

Mr. Finkle: What do you know about Ray Finkle?

[Ace sucks in a huge breath of air.]

Ace Ventura: Soccer style kicker, graduated from Collier High June 1976, Stetson University honors graduate class of 1980, holds 2 NCAA Division One records, one for most points in a season, one for distance, former nickname "The Mule", the first and only pro-athlete to come out of Collier County, and one HELL of a model American. [takes deep breath]

Mr. Finkle: Are you another one of them Hard Copy guys?

Ace Ventura: No, sir, I'm just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir!

Dan Marino: Hey Ace, got anymore of that gum?

Ace Ventura: That's none of your damn business and I'll thank you to stay out of my personal affairs.

Dan Marino: You're a weird guy, Ace. Weird guy.

Lois Einhorn: The laces were in! They were IN!

[Lois then shoots one of the TV sets.]

---

Mrs. Finkle: It was all that Dan Marino's fault, everyone knows that. If he had held the ball, laces out, like he was supposed to, Ray would never have missed that kick. Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie, son?

Ace Ventura: Hmm, what do you know. They're little footballs.

Mrs. Finkle: LACES OUT!

Classic stuff . . . . simply brilliant.

Anyhoooo, back to the point of this post . . . . . .

During the month of November, I along with some colleagues/friends are raising money for the Live Strong Foundation in a month long endeavor called MOVEMBER - our team name is Finkle's Fur Lips (thus the title).  The cause raises money for prostate cancer. . . . .yes, saving men's balls across the globe because without balls, we'd all just be a bunch of p- . . . . . well you get the point.   mr. overly competitive is a PG rated blog. 

In an effort to raise money, I've been growing this dead animal across my upper lip and hoping that my mustache reigns supreme over everyone else's . . . . . . . . . . . 

Yes, it almost looks like balls on my chin . . . . . . it's since been trimmed.  Ahthankyouverymuch!   (Blondie, save your jokes for Abe's 5 hairs he's been able to squeeze out as a "mustache").

Unfortunately for me, Spanish (previously DWM) created a Zorro-esque 'stache, DJ MC Squared (old boss, used to be a wedding singer, I mean DJ) displayed more chest hair than necessary to mimic Tom Selleck and B.Little (furry guy in the office) had more of a mustache on day 4 than I do now.  

I've got about 5 days left and am told daily that I should avoid school zones.  I choose to look on the bright side - I don't look like Gene Shalit

mr. overly copetitive's mustache 2.5; Gene Shalit's mustache 1.5

Finally! A victory.

I've been trying to come up with a good slogan to help encourage people to donate money.  Here are my top 3 so far:

1.  Cause For The Balls!

2.  (reference earlier statement) Saving men's balls across the globe because without balls, we'd all just be a bunch of p- 

3.  (for the gay men out there - *ahemm* Blondie) Dick brooms:  Sweeping prostate cancer under the carpet.

And now the hard part . . . .asking for money.  But in reality, I'm really just trying to save your balls or the balls of your loved ones.  Aren't they worth $5?  Don't make me grow this Hulk-Hogan-balls-on-my-chin-mustache for nothing . . . . . . .

I win.
