Gibson.
Mel Gibson’s name is just Mel, not Melvin: Link
Does Hayes count as he spells it with a y
Mel Faimey
…and what kind of beer did he drink?
One other Melvin who made hir name as Mel:
Melvin Cornell Blount aka Pittsburgh Steeler Mel Blount
Lee Greenwood ditched the Melvin entirely to make it big (but he really is one )
According to Google there are 33,700,000 famous Melvins.
I eliminated two duplicates before leaving it as an exercise for the reader.
Mel Carnahan, former governor of Missouri, who (although regrettably dead) defeated John Ashcroft in their race for the U.S. Senate in 2000.
And until I read that Wiki article, I never realized that Mel Gibson’s middle name is “Columcille.” God bless the Dope.
Melvin the Teenaged Monster.
OK, so after 18 dope-hours of integration, it looks to me like our first guess of All-Star Melvin Mora was not unreasonable as a top-5 among current famous Melvins.* I’m willing to grant Melvin Purvys looks like he may be all-time most famous Melvin, though…
*Again, famous Mels are not eligible if nobody calls them Melvin. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’d give the nod to Gibson…
**No offense to Marvelous Melvin Anthony, of course.
In the midwest a Melvin is a wedgie done in the front. :eek:
Blatz, in the version of that epic tale to which I allude… 
I thought Schiltz was “The beer that made…” Or was it Blatz in the story?
Eh-it’s all Wisconsin brewed. Or was.
Blatz “Milwaukee’s Favorite Premium Beer."
Schlitz “The beer that made Milwaukee famous”
Hamm’s “from the land of sky blue waters” came from Minnesota.
The punchline to the story is
“The beer that made old Mel Faimey walk us”, a spoonerism of sorts on the Schlitz slogan. I wasn’t sure if maybe Blatz had been substituted since the slogan had been altered, or if Schlitz really WAS the beer that made old Mel Faimey walk us. Just didn’t want to spoil the punchline if I had the wrong beer, no biggie
