I thought I'd start a little self promotion and offer the rest of the beardy dakkanoughts the opportunity to join the party...
To those of you who don't know about the MO Movember is a charity event to raise money to fight cancer (mostly prostate cancer but there are other reserch thingies funded aswell) whereby men and possibly women are forbidden from shaving their upper lip and grow whatever mustache they can manage, How does this raise money... Well that's where sponsorship comes in as participants are rewarded for their efforts and putting up with the nagging of spouses.
If you are participating in Movember this year then please make you poster and post it in this thread, If your thinking about randomly giving money to charity then please donate to the poster you like the best??
please note this photo was taken after I had just shaved for the event and cut of the beard I have had for approximatly 12 years... My chin is exceptionaly cold

If I actually want to help combat prostate cancer I think I'll just give money to research groups instead of growing a mustache, not that growing facial hair doesn't make difference.
Were I allowed to grow proper facial hair during this month, I would have to try and do so... but the stupid military has outdated regs that won't allow me to grow a proper Movember 'Stache.
Despite my intense dislike of most facial hair, I tried to grow some for movember. After 12 days, I realized I looked like a giant douchebag and shaved it off.

Aww that sucks man... sorry to hear that your so constrained in your facial fuzz.
Yeah, I wear a Van Dyke w/ a jawline beard (not sure what that's called, exactly... it's not quite an 'anchor') so 'Movember' is really just an excuse to not shave at all.

LOL, as much as I appreciate the thought behind Movember I really wish more guys were able to come to this realization. A 'stache is a privilege, not a right!
I look like a grizzly normally any way. So going full metal lumberjack isn't a big deal, 'specially since the lady don't mind the whiskers. I'll go back to the goatee at the end of the month though. I normally rock a Commander Riker.
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long

I am not going to grow a mustache. Seriously, who wants to look like they stapled a dead rat to their face just because of folks on the internet said it was cool.

Actually, it's to raise money to fight prostate cancer. Not saying you should do it, I'm not going to, but it's not because the internet said it was cool.

Well, that's what I get for only reading the first line of the post. I guess that's as good a cause as any for stapling a dead rat to your face. Guess I'll donate a few bucks to make up for being a dick about it.
I prefer the much easier "No Shave November", as I don't want to look like a creeper, I just grow a beard. Granted everyday is no shave, since I already have a beard... Though I did lose a bet earlier in the month and had to shave lol

well I should have explained a little better probably here is a link to the Mo Vember website that explains what the event is all about
it Also states that you need to start the month clean shaven if your entering the event and trying to raise money. And if you feel sooo guilty that charitable giving is the only thing that will ease your burden I would gladly accept the donation only joking (well sort of).

Ha, it's really windy where I go to school right now, so there's almost always a wind blowing that rustles everything. One of the oddities of having a bushy beard is that when the wind is strong enough I can actually feel it pull on my beard, it's a very odd sensation.

I did it a few years ago but looked so sleazy that now I just donate every November, when I'm reminded of it.
