November is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. I'm participating in "Movember," in which I solicit friends and acquaintances to sponsor me to grow a mustache (a silly gimmick, but any gimmick will do).

As an added plus, you can learn my alter ego (real identity) and see my picture as well.


But you already have a moustache!

Did you see the (very NSFW) video on youtube about this?

I'm not going to link, but search "movember women".

Good stuff :-)

No -- I'll google it when I get home. I'm a sucker for anything tagged as "NSFW."

Dude, very NSFW. Very. Like, I had to log in...

...eh, why not?

Moustaches and me don't mix very well. And I've already met your alter ego anyway.

Hee hee!


Do not complain about your prostate exams to women. They will laugh at you then tell you all about being violated with a steel speculum and dental tools.

With what my wife went through just a day or so ago, I shan't.


If you think a rectal palpation is bad, I have three words for you: proctoscopy, rectoscopy, colonoscopy. Not for the faint of heart. :)

Funniest thing I have seen today...disclaimer. I have not been watching christipher hitchens or bill hicks today.


Nobody?

Can I take back some of the donations I've made to other Paizoans' pet causes, then?

Story of my life. Seriously. As I am going more and more in debts my concentration and ability to focus on anything is falling down. I blame it on stress and aging.

Yeah, November's a really crappy time for this, being so close to the holidays... and the state of the economy this year sure doesn't help. I can totally understand people being reluctant to participate; my last post was just me talking smack. Hopefully anyone who wants to participate (but whose judgment gets the better of them) will just call a rain check for another year when things have improved.

As far as I know, the foundation accepts donations all year, but my personal mustache gets judged on November 30 -- I'm competing with a dozen of my co-workers to produce the best 'stash for my supporters.

I'll see what I can do. I am thinking about going the other direction in aid of movember myself. Head hair, beard, and all the rest to go, if i can get enough people interested.

I never once though that post was serious :D

If you go that route, we can sponsor each other!

I am so calling you Wyatt all day Sunday...


I want to thank zylphryx, who personally accounted for over 50% of my total sponsorship amount. I owe you one.

More pics (before/after) are on my mo-space page at http://www.movember.com/m/1359476
And I'll put a close-up pic of my final 'stash up just as soon as Mrs Gersen emails it to me.

Thanks again,
