Movember...

by scoobydoofus ^Pro @ 2009-11-01 – 22:15:44

So Landers, Jake and myself have signed up for Movember.

Basically, we're growing a 'tache to raise awareness of and funds for prostate cancer. It's a bit of fun, but it hopefully will prompt people to think about prostate cancer and other mens' health issues such as testicular cancer, and maybe even help someone get diagnosed earlier.

I'm clean shaven for the first time in aaaages and I hate it. Can't wait til I get some stubble back and stop looking 12 years old. Also, stubble helps hide the double chin I didn't know I had until I shaved today.

Now, as much as I'd love to say I'm growing a moustache because I like them, I'm actually doing it in the hope that people will take pity on me and sponsor me. If you would like to do so, please click the link below and sponsor me ~~because Jake is winning~~.

CLICKY!

  It's a very strange feeling, even drinking feels weird.
  
  Thanks!

Am seriously hoping your tache grows quickly. I also hate having no facial hair! And to be honest, you do look better with it, I think you look younger with face fuzz!
Take a piccy of the tache won't you?

  - 2009-11-02 @ 00:10:04
  Hmm I think I look younger without, but hey.
  
  It'll be back in no time. My face fur doesn't grow as fast as Landers', but it's not slow either.
  
  There will be plenty of pics, don't worry!

    I bet you'll look most dashing with a mushy... How big will it get? Are we talking flight officer in WWII kind of large, or Chinese Sage wiseman long?!

      Ha! I'm not sure exactly, I never really paid attention to how long my goatee took to grow cos I usually just trim it with clippers. We'll just have to wait and see!

        I think I'm going to like this - I'd look like a yeti - it grows so bloody fast!

    I can't donate via card as I don't have Visa or Mastercard... I'll steal Myke's card when I get a minute and sort something out for you!

      You could wait and see whose you prefer, and donate to them.

  Also there's no need to sponsor me too - you've already donated twice and all the money goes to the same place. Thank you! x

What double chin!

Pillock!

I thought about doing this, seeing as my facial hair grows rather quickly...but given my new (ish) cropped hairstyle I thought it would look a little odd.

Anyway, I spent most of the 80's with a Magnum style tache so don't feel the urge to revisit that particular fashion crime again.

Even for a very good cause.

And yes you do look young.

  The double chin is there, cunningly hidden by the camera angle. Took me ages!
  
  Did you see our team name? "Trying to be Magnum". Unfortunately The Tom Selleck Appreciation Society was already taken.

Stooopid payments site.
It let me donate to Landers, but not to you
Will try again later.
No favouritism

  Yes, there will be regular updates on facebook and twitter, maybe not so regular on here. I don't want to bombard people!
  
  And don't worry about it, the money is all going to the same place - you've sponsored the team, that's what counts!

Wow, you look very different de-stubbled.

I will sponsor at some point. Just got my second u-bahn fine in a week today, so it'll be in a few weeks. CUNT.

  - 2009-11-02 @ 11:27:35
  It'll be back soon enough, and then I'm NEVER SHAVING AGAIN.
  
  Although I say that every time. Ah well, I don't think once every other year is excessive.
  
  Maybe you should wait til the end of the month, and then sponsor your favourite moustache. No, second thoughts don't do that - Landers will have the most impressive one, he's like a gorilla.

    That's a great idea! Don't worry, there is more to a great tache than volumes of hair.
