Progress: I'm well sick of this fucking moustache. It's bristley, itchy, and women give me funny looks. It also - apparently - makes me look like a paedophile. (Although it could be argued that my accuser just has trouble accepting that he finds attractive men.. well.. attractive).Basically I can't wait until the end of the month. However, you can make the next 8 or so days more bearable by sponsoring my hirsuteness. Here is the officially-sanctioned spiel re. the same:
Hi all,
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a moustache. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about changing the state of men's health.Male health is a major issue, did you know:
- Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
- Every year in New Zealand about 600 men die of prostate cancer – about the same as the number of women who die from breast cancer.
Help me change the face of men's health by sponsoring my mo.
Please go to http://www.movember.com/nz/sponsor, enter my Rego number which is 55551 and your credit card details. All donations over $5 are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember will be used to create awareness and fund support networks for those that suffer from prostate cancer.
Cheers

So yeah.
Y'know, all this comedy-moustache growing must make those who usually sport a hairy decoration upon their upper lips feel kinda stink. Everyone's all like "ewww gross.. a moustache.. ha ha ha ha ha gross out.. kiddie-fiddler" etc. and they're all quietly going "oh. damn. I thought I looked pretty good".

i've grown a few mo's and beards over the last two years. Firstly it was just to see whether I could or not, and thereafter just because I can't be arsed shaving all the time (or forking out for razor blades).
Not one person has ever called me names to my face.
The thing I found the most interesting is that if you grow a good mo then men will come up and say "great mo". Men that would never come up and say "great shirt/pants/shoes/haircut" in the way that women do to each other all the time, men just don't do it. But walk in to a bar with a 'merve hughes' and they jump off their seats to tell you how great it looks.
You do end up having to sit through heartbreaking stories about how "I tried to grow one once and it didn't happen" though. pfffftttt,boys!
I think it looks great! but then I do have quite odd taste, apparently...
I think it looks great too. Are you taken?
it does look good. don't shave it!
You are one of a select few who wears it well - during and beyond the month of movember. However, i'm sure if i was on the receiving end of it, beyond the few initial delightful tickles, the novelty would have well worn off...
