Movember Day 21<\/p><\/div>\n

Can you believe this?\u00a0 What the hell, right?<\/p>\n

Yes, that’s me (scary, I know) and yes that’s a moustache under my lip (scarier).\u00a0 Alarming, huh?<\/p>\n

21 days and this is about as good as I’ve got.\u00a0 There’s a lot of salt in there, which makes for a sorta transluscent stache.\u00a0 Last night, I had to cut back the “chops” a little, ’cause at the bottom of my mouth, my moustache goes WHITE.\u00a0 Not just mostly silver, but platinum\/white.\u00a0 I think maybe I should have left it, but GEEZ.<\/p>\n

So until the end of the month, I’m going to become more and more of a skeegy-lookin’ dude.<\/p>\n

I’m loving<\/em> the responses from people over the last few days.\u00a0 From “Oh hey, are you doing that Movember thing?” to “What’s the uh, the deal with, uh… are you growing a… uhm…” and they point as if I had glued glitter, spaghetti, and gummy bears under my nose.<\/p>\n

Oh!\u00a0 Maybe next year I’ll do THAT!<\/p>\n

Why am I doing this?\u00a0 It’s Movember<\/a>, and to get bring attention to men’s health issues (’cause men should be talking to their doctors about more than things we get spammed about all day).\u00a0 Cancers and things?\u00a0 They don’t spam us about those things.\u00a0 Probably a good thing, now that I think about it.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you’d like to donate a few bucks online to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada in honour of my horrifying moustache, please click this link<\/a> to donate on my behalf, or send a cheque (it’s like a check, but Canadian) to<\/p>\n

Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada<\/p>\n

Please help out, since I’m one of only 8000 or so Canadians.\u00a0 Australia?\u00a0 100,000+\u00a0 I bet there’s one in every photo on Flickr right now.<\/p>\n

Thank you, good night, and may your Mo, go with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
