Not only is Movember an excellent idea for a worthy cause, it's bloody funny as well. Because so many men participate, offices and shopping malls currently look like they're full of rejects from Magnum PI convention.

The daily breakfast magazine shows are hilarious, with regular presenters popping up with some truely dreadful mo's. Half the team on Good Morning look like they've been cast in a 1970's porn flick. Especially Steve Gray.

Even hubby is taking part, despite the fact that his "gay biker" is itching like crazy.

Some women, feeling left out, decided to grow their armpits. I did not.

What does Mo stand for?

BTW, just a quick note to let you know your vid wasn't shown at the con. I missed Friday, so maybe it was shown then, but otherwise, not. I'm majorly bummed.

Moustache. Everyone grows moustaches and gets sponsored, and the money goes to prostate cancer research.

Aw, that's a shame about my vid. Never mind, maybe they'll show it at Vancouver. Thanks so much for looking out for it!

Even if I wanted to participate by growing armpit hair, I physically can't. I naturally have like three hairs there...

M. is growing one too, but only because he got sick of people hassling him for sponsorship. He figured if he grew one, no one would ask him for money. :D

Lucky woman! I could grow an impressive crop, I think.

M is very wily, LOL.

I wish I was inflicted with little to no armpit hair.....*sulk*

Movember also manages to bring out the idiots with archaic regulations such as the Principal at Scots College here in Wellington who told a student his Mo would have to go or he wouldn't be able to sit his NCEA Level 3 Exams. The controversy was on the front of every paper for a couple of days. I don't know if the boy shaved it or not but it's so sad that the principal would feel the need to do that.

Mo's are pretty nasty unless their own Mark Sainsbury and even then I'm not so sure. Imagine how weird he would look if he shaved that giant dead caterpillar.

Yeah, I saw that thing about Scots College. Wowsers. The kid did shave it off, and said the school had every right to enforce their laws. I wonder if his arm was twisted.

We had a guy at school who grew facial hair so fast he had a 5 o'clock shadow by the end of 1st period. He used to have to shave at lunchtime. They threatened to suspend him if he let it get too stubbly. And that was in the 80's.

Some mo's are okay. Remember Merv Hughes of the Aussie cricket team? His mo was his trademark. He'd be quite unremarkable without it. But personally I can't stand facial hair. Hubby grew a goatee for a good year, and I hated it.
