So, I currently look like a pedophile (they should call it pedos for prostate awareness…). I can’t grow a mustache as fast as I’d like, but it’s coming along.
Anybody else participating?
If you’d like to really stick it to prostate cancer, and I mean really pound it hard, no mercy… [us.movember.com](http://us.movember.com)

My husband is participating. He looks incredibly creepy as well - he just doesn’t grow a nice 'stache. Most of the guys I know are participating, actually - it’s something silly that 30-somethings can get involved with while also raising awareness. I think it’s a good event, despite the precipitous drop in sexiness it causes among the male half of the population!

Yep, awesome pool going at work, most wives, girlfriends, and female co-workers are unimpressed though. One guy just told me he’s sleeping on the couch this month which is fine with him so he can catch the late games and Sportsdesk!
ETA moustache is coming along OK for the first week.
Ladies, don’t worry, it will get softer and less prickly when the hair settles down.

For goodness’ sake! This explains all those fuzzy upper lips and mustache doodles. Gotta start _thinking_ when I read the news.
Now to get out some blue ribbon…
