Great Facial Hair in History: Val Kilmer in Tombstone

Tombstone is one of The Baron's favorite movies of all time.

You might think it's because of the shooting, or the drinking, or the cussing and you'd be wrong.

It's because of Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holiday, the man who reigns as one of the most badass lady slayers of all time.

Let's take a look at his stirring interpretation of this legendary hardass:Holy shit! Talk about execution! The Baron couldn't grow a mustache like that even if he gave Tom Sellick's cookie broom eskimo kisses for good luck.

Val's lip cover really is a defiant, insulting piece of work. The main body of the stache says "I know I'm better than you" and when you ask "oh, yeah, how do you know?" the saucy little triangle goatee says "fuck you!" and holds up a picture of your mom getting a kilmer-style mustache ride.

And that's exactly how Doc Holiday acted in Tombstone. Say the cowboy gang doesn't like his style....well he'll just go ahead and drink until he is shaking and sweating with rage, insult the shit out of one of them and then play it off like it was the mustache's idea, then when they least expect it BAM! a bullet in the brainpan.

The Baron is positive that this is the way the real Doc operated and was severely disappointed when he saw that Val shaved that glorious lip sweater after the movie.

Regardless (irregardless isn't a word you fucknuts cause if it was it would mean anti-regardless which is the same as regardful you dickflake) The Baron would like to relive one of the greatest quotes of the movie:

Soon to be deceased: Hell, you couldn't shoot me, you're so drunk you're seeing double.

Doc The Stache Holiday: (brandishing a second pistol) Well I've got one for each of you then.

Goddamn!!!!
