Anyone taking part in Movember?

[KasinoKing]

Men only... Please!

Movember is a rapidly growing movement designed to improve awareness of mens health issues.
All you have to do to participate is grow a moustache during November.
www.movember.com

I've decided to have a go this year - just for the hell of it.
I did actually have a moustache for several years in my late 20's, but haven't sported one since. For a moderate donation to the charity, I'll post a picture on here!
So far I've grown a 4-day old "goatee" (referred to as a "circle" below), but haven't decided whether to stick with that of go for a different style. I was thinking of doing a CM poll, but I know you lot would vote for the Toothbrush (Adolf Hitler) style - just for a laugh. I'm NOT doing that one!

So, anyone else doing this? And any suggestions of which style to go for? (Bear in mind it's only for 1 month, so big ones are impossible!)

Cheers,
KK

I will be donating to the movement, but I cannot face looking like a 'Village People' reject even for 3 or 4 weeks....

I participate those days I'm to lazy to shave atleast. May I'll grow a small moustache . Maybey we should have a contest here, and vote on Mr. Moustachemeister 2013, in the end of the month?

We did it last year.
At work me and a group of colleague's took part in Movember campaign.
It was fun but I was glad I could take my moustache off at the end of the campaign.
Must see if I still have that picture we made on the end of the campaign.

We looked like bums not shaving for so long!

The Finance Director (CFO to American readers) at one of my clients is doing a reverse Movember. He has shaved his head, except for a patch at the back that has been lovingly shaped into a moustache. It looks very, very strange. I'll see if I can get a photo. He is raising tons of money though. The downside is that people keep pointing at him in the street and sniggering.

I told him that they did this anyway, but he didn't look very impressed

I grew a beard once; it was quite ragged and unkempt but it was mine. If I remember rightly it housed Two Cuckoos, a Dove with a broken wing and Three Ravens.

I was okay with that but whenever I sat down at the park bench whilst feeding the ducks in my local area I was looked upon as unfortunate and passers-by would offer me money as if I was homeless.

Probably the thing that made me decide a beard was not right for me was when my mum passed by and then walked away only to return with a bar of soap, and shaving gel and a razor.

She said “I have a son of similar age to you, I’d hate to see him in the position you are in” :lolsign:

On the contrary, when we were hungry as kids, my mum would boil up a pan of water on the stove, get dad to shake his beard over it and lo and behold! a very nutritious soup was procured.

Dad's (Bird's) nest soup was always a killer I found, rather salty and difficult to filter the hairs that swam in the soup.

We took a vote many years ago (as a family) and proclaimed him a waste of resources, if memory serves me well he was dumped off in Leeds with £10, a toothbrush, a change of clothes and nowt much else.

He never met the wagering requirements, what can one do? :lolsign:

I am Chinese so of course I hope you will adopt the 'Fu Manchu' style. Your kids wont like it though.

My kids LOVE Chinese... but I suspect that's only because the nice lady in our local take-away always gives them a lolly-pop to suck while we're waiting for our order...

No offense mate, but a goatee (circle) does not count! It's just not ridiculous enough.

Movember rule 4 states:
4. There is to be no joining of the handlebars on your chin. That's considered a goatee.

So, anyone else doing this? And any suggestions of which style to go for?

I have been doing it for the last 6 Novembers or so, and I'm growing my regular "trucker" (or horse shoe).

It is not fair that just men have to act for charity, so the ladies have decided to follow suit next year:

Well... I'm glad that's over!
