I have joined the movember movement and am growing a mustache to raise funds for prostate cancer research and treatment. Anyone else growing the mo this month?

Never heard of it till your post. 'Bout time we came up with something to compete with Pink.
Wonder how all the sports teams will show their support...particularly women's sports teams/athletes? I can see the Finals at Wimbledon...2 ladies wearing fake moustaches! But I am making light of a very serious thing. If it all convinces guys to go to the doc, its definitely worth it.

Already have one . . . for 30 years. From the thread title, I thought you might be referring to Uncle Mo.

I did not know about this big C event, but I've got a pretty sweet handlebar 'stache these days. Did recently start growing in the Paul Bunyan beard for the winter time too.
It does sound an interesting thing to do, except I don't think I could handle starting clean-shaven.

I have a goatee. I'll be willing to forgo trimming to help the cause.

Excluding others is a violation of rule number 5, "EACH MO BRO MUST CONDUCT HIMSELF LIKE A TRUE

For those still following, I just posted this 1978 picture of me with a mo. I don't think I can quite live up to that, but I'll get a photo of my (mostly grey) current attempt later today.

Looks like I didn't follow up with my 2011 mo.
But it's time to get serious about prostate cancer and mustaches again. Anyone willing to grow a mo for our bros with prostate cancer? http://www.movember.com John

The other day we had a do at the club to raise some dough for cancer reserch and we raised about £700. My wife took the money to the bank to send it off to them. At the bank the manager came out and said they were doing a thing where if £750 were raised then the bank would double it to £1,500. Cool my said I will put the £50 to it then. No, the manager said, we will do that if you don't mind. Cool, my wife said , thank you. So the charity place got £1,500. Strange thing about it was the charity phoned and asked how we done as if they had not got anything. When my explained they said, oh that is great but when that happens it looks as if its a donation from the bank. I don't care if the bank gets all the credit as long as yoou got more money, my wife said. So anyway if you don't care about who gets the credit then check out the banks see you might be able to double what you raise perhaps.

Have had a moustache and beard for 30 years. But I am with you in spirit.

John my friend
I grew my moustache 1966, and have never shaved it off. Perhaps I will make a donation instead. My moustache has been long, short, brown, in the Summer time it used to turn red, but today it is short, and white. BTW I am not fond of the exam for this condition.

"Whilst the growing of Mo's is limited to the guys, Mo Sistas play a vital role in the success of Movember by supporting and encouraging the men in their life to get involved, and participating in raising funds and awareness themselves."

IMHO you look more like a young James Taylor when he had hair.

I think the take away message here is that whether it's Manson, Magnus, or Taylor, every photo from the 70s looks exactly the same.
