Movember is upon us

[MrMelon]

Who's keen to grow a moustache for movember? We should get a little KB competition running to see who can grow the best mo by the end of November starting from scratch tomorrow. Pics to be taken tomorrow and at the end of the month!

The rules are pretty simple and as follows.

* On day "Mo-1" (October 31), the complete moustache region, including the entire upper lip and the handlebar zones, must be completely shaved.

* For the entire duration of Movember (Movember 1 - 32 inclusive), no hair shall be allowed to grow in the goatee zone - being any facial area below the bottom lip.

* There is to be no joining of the moustache to sideburns.

* Failure to conform to all of these rules may, at the discretion of the official Movember Committee, result in instant blacklisting.

* Movember Committee accepts no responsibility for lost jobs, rashes, food/beer encrustments or any other such mishaps caused to the wearer (or his partner) of a Movember Moustache. You grew it yourself.

Damn good idea, and for a good cause too.

And a good reason for a regional party at the end of Movember when they all get shaved off again. Pics would be great... what a laugh :sunny:

[Blackbird]

Pi** off:shutup: I can't even look at my wedding photos without cringing. Longish hair and sideburns, brown suit with flared trousers AND (cringe), a droopy Zapats moustache. I know droopy mo's are still in fashion down Balclutha way, but not in the rest of the known universe.

[MrMelon]

Hey there's nothing wrong with a slightly droopy mo... I'm just trying to get into police college, or take the starring role in a porno. Honest!

[placidfemme]

Sams brother is doing this... sounds like fun...

If any KB'ers do it... piccies please.. :)

[Squeak the Rat]

I'm all set to go with a work team. Unfortunately I'm interviewing and am going to be trying to recruit people in the next few weeks looking like a wife beater or a mexican porn star.

The best thing about this is you can tell your missus it's for charity.

Bring on the mo....

[Wasp]

Already doing it with the work team, were also holding our own one inside the company with prizes :)

[bungbung]

I'm going to do it

[Phurrball]

If the Mrs doesn't beat me, I'll do it!

(Who am I kidding - she'll beat me regardless, as all facial hair is forbidden. I might as get a head start before she returns on the 7th :yes:)

Yeah, why not, I'm in. I've made a public affirmation now, surely she wouldn't shame me into an early shave...

So, 'blank canvas' photo tomorrow??

[Mom]

You go for it guys...........think I will pass up the opportunity tho........:innocent:

[MattRSK]

I'm holding out for pubeuary.

[Grahameeboy]

[Grahameeboy]

[Hitcher]

Shame about the requirement to start with a clean top lip...

[Maha]

Think i will wait for Dickcember.......:blip:

[Waylander]

Shame about the requirement to start with a clean top lip...Bah, like it would take you more than a couple days to grow it back. OR are you worried about tanlines? lol.

[Grahameeboy]

Think i will wait for Dickcember.......:blip:

Dunno bout you but I can wait....don't believe in Father Clitomas do you!!

[Maha]

Dunno bout you but I can wait....don't believe in Father Clitomas do you!!

Cool its 'LIMBO' time.........:wari:

Someone had to wake up this thread......:zzzz:

[MattRSK]

Haha, giving up that easy. I really don't give a fuck. Does it read Hitcher up above this post. I think not.

[Maha]

Does it read Hitcher up above this post. I think not.


No you are quite correct, i read it as 'Bitcher'.........:laugh:

[Grahameeboy]

Haha, giving up that easy. I really don't give a fuck. Does it read Hitcher up above this post. I think not.

Can I have ketchup with my chips then

[MOTOXXX]

i was fuckin keen... but the boss said otherwise

[Pogo2]

I believe some of the girls at work are going to try as well:eek:

[jrandom]

sounds like fun...

I'll sponsor you at $10 a millimeter.

[jrandom]

Shame about the requirement to start with a clean top lip...

I'd shave and have a go, but I don't want to lose my goatee. I'm currently using it as a substitute for personality.

[riffer]

Damn. And I just got the goatee looking good ten days after last shaving it.

Mo's just aint for me. It's gotta have the chin stubble too.

[jrandom]

I just got the goatee looking good...

Represent, brutha.


Mo's just aint for me.

Likewise. Tried it. I looked exactly like an Eastern European used-car salesman.

Naff-off, I look like thumbnail #1 and I ain't shaving it off for nobody, 'sides, I was born like that!

[MattRSK]

Think about the cause though. Who cares if you look like a muppet for a month. I would if I could. But I can't. Well not a decent one anyway.

[Lias]

I'm in the "not shaving the goatee off" brigade too.. I look like a chubby faced 18 year old virgin when I shave it off.. she who must be obeyed was unimpressed last time I shaved it off and told me to hurry up and grow the bastard back.. And this is the woman who doesnt like facial hair :gob:

[ManDownUnder]

Sams brother is doing this... sounds like fun...

If any KB'ers do it... piccies please.. :)

No need for the ladies to feel excluded, only difference is you have to shave the entire public...

Oh and yes - pics please

[Harry33]

I'm going to give it a honest go. Should be damn funny until the wife catches on.

I've already got a Magnum PI shirt, just gotta find some stubbies.

[Phurrball]

Right - the face is clean, as of today ('cept for the 'burns and the 'unterlippenbart').

Now I can start work on the Oberlippenbart! May it be an überoberlippenbart...:gob: (Sorry - I couldn't help it...)

[Sniper]

Im trying, but in the dark resesses of my family tree there is a ginga who passed on the curse to me. The worse part is that my hair is blonde, yet facial hair is ginga, Im sure I could get arrested for provoking conflicting thoughts of police people.

Blonde people get let off more cause of an IQ deficit, but Ginga need to be locked up to save the world.

Fuck it, I'll try it

[Waylander]

Fucking razor burn....

[soundbeltfarm]

keen as here.
only problem is i go from looking like a dick to a dickhead as the hair doesn't grow to well in the middle of my top lip.
will take me whole month to even get a bit of a Mo.

[James Deuce]

I'm in the "not shaving the goatee off" brigade too.. I look like a chubby faced 18 year old virgin when I shave it off.. she who must be obeyed was unimpressed last time I shaved it off and told me to hurry up and grow the bastard back.. And this is the woman who doesnt like facial hair :gob:

Me too, but I'm going to whip the Mo' component off tonight and post pics!

Then grow something outrageous!

[Goblin]

Pictures please.:wait:

[Harry33]

I've took a photo of myself today, just so I can have a before and after shot. I'll wait until the end of the month before I post.

[James Deuce]

Doesn't work Harry - you HAVE to post the pic at the start of Movember or it doesn't count. You have until midnight tonight.

[Goblin]

Cant we have before shots at the begining of the month and after shots at the end?

Incidently....while helping my five year old wash his face this morning, I noticed he has a big white whisker like an old man hair, growing on his cheek!:gob: Only 5 and he's growing facial hair!

[Harry33]

Doesn't work Harry - you HAVE to post the pic at the start of Movember or it doesn't count. You have until midnight tonight.


O.k here you go...now bare in mind I'm only trying and know ones putting me up to it. Or giving me money etc.

[James Deuce]

Right! It's taken me hours to get THIS far. I haven't been without facial hair on my top lip in 23 years.

That razor burn SUCKS. OW, MOTHERFU......

11:30 - handlebar zones cleared. That red colour is mostly blood seeping out of skin never shaved before.

[MrMelon]

Good effort. I haven't been clean shaven for about 2 years till now!

[Harry33]

We'll Jim it's look like you and me are the only ones brave/stupid enough to post pics. I doubt I'll grow a good mo(it sucks that you can grow hair everywhere else that you don't want it).
Anyway let the growing begin hehe.

[lukelin250]

lollapalooza and cut it off and eat it,,,yayy happy hahahahh ahahah

[lukelin250]

upside down handlebars thats the ticket

[dawnrazor]

I've managed to convice 23 out of 25 guys at work to go MO, with the added twist of taking it until the 8th of december, which is our xmas party which is seventies styles, when we will have a prize for the best one!!!!


GO MO'BROS

[placidfemme]

haha... check it... women in the south island can be a part of Movember too

Southern women get chance to match fuzz with Movember men

Tuesday November 7, 2006
By Errol Kiong


It's been called the South Island Special.

While the men in Cromwell grow moustaches to raise awareness for prostate cancer, the women are leaving their left armpit unshaven for a month - all for Movember, the health campaign for the most common cancer among males.

When the Golden Gate Lodge in Cromwell decided to run an equal opportunity Movember competition at the start of the month, 13 women signed up.

"Some guys just can't put up with facial hair themselves, and some girls can't put up with armpit hairs. I thought it was only fair enough," said general manager Glen Christiansen.

"When you grow a beard, the wife or the girlfriend will often say, 'that's it, no snuggling for you for a month'. Now some guys have the opportunity to say to their partners, 'no snuggling for you either'."

The pub is holding Friday photo sessions to chart the 40 entrants' progress, culminating in a party on December 1 which will involve, among other things, shaving cream.

For the women, there's a bonus - the local hairdresser has signed on to do a "shape and colour" of the armpit fuzz. "She will have 13 armpits that she can shape and colour at will. It's a pretty horrid thought, really," said Mr Christiansen.

One female contestant already had "phenomenal coverage", he said.

"She's definitely got a good bit of stubble going.

"We've some that are very pathetic - and that goes with the guys as well ... It will be interesting to see in another 20 days where we're at.

"We haven't got a true ginga - which is a bit upsetting - but then they would probably win straight off."

One man and woman each stand to win a trip for two to Sydney for their month-long efforts.

More than 8000 men have pledged to grow a moustache for Movember, raising just over $100,000 so far for the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

[Hitcher]

What, no "true ginga"? What's the world coming to? How can it be a "proper" contest without a ginga?

(Wonders if "faded" gingas would qualify)

If you want a picture of my ginga facial hair, you need to make it worth my while

[Kendog]

The hubby decided this morning that he's going for the unshaven thing, so I might too! :mellow:
Don't know if I can compare to your guys efforts but I won't wax my legs or shave my armpits and see how long they get!(Ewwwwwwwwwww), don't think it'll last long though, I'll be itchy by next week and have to get rid of it. :bye:
Nobody including me likes porcupine legs and bushy pits.:sick:

Hey, we could have some Rapunzal Awards at the end of the month...

[jrandom]

Hey, we could have some Rapunzal Awards...

Rapunzal Awards?

Kind of, like, Rapunzel Awards, but for them as can't spell?

Rapunzal, Rapunzal, let down you're mo!

O ye of little faith.

Fair enough.

And stop bloody editing your posts. I dont get offended, and as far as they were aware, there was nothing they could offer me as compensation. ;)

[jrandom]

stop bloody editing your posts. I dont get offended...

I didn't like my first response once I re-read it. It's not about offense, it's about hitting the right note.

Just enjoy watching the master at work, OK?

Dammit, well caught. Ok.

So much for the precious gift of storytelling aiding the communications skills of yoof. OK, so it was the radio, rather than a parent. My apologies to H C Andersen.

[jrandom]

... apologies to H C Andersen.

You're losing it, man.

Apologies to 'H C Anderson' would have been been encore material.

[Hitcher]

I thought H C Andersen wrote Rapunzal.

A bit like Edmund Wells wrote David Coperfield...

David Coperfield walk through the Great wall of China didnt he?......

It seems we're all somewhat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapunzel) adrift (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen).

[Edit: Anyway. Sigh. The 'e' is correct; my point was that a quiet additional misspelling... oh, never mind.]

[Hitcher]

Ethel the aardvark went quantity surveying, Mr Fish. A classic, dare I say it.

[andrea]

would there be any prizes? um is it alright if i enter my sister into this competition

[Harry33]

It has to be above the waist :Punk:

[andrea]

It has to be above the waist :Punk:

damn really:mellow: ? ill just have to tell her to stop shaving her mo-stach and side burns:yes: :msn-wink:
i think theres a wo-mans one where they stop shaving their armpits so ill entre him in that one too

[andrea]

oops i mean enter her in that one too

[k14]

Hmm, just found that thread. Not participating in any comps just going up against the flatties. Haven't shaved at all since the 1st (although don't have anything to prove that). 3 weeks to go till judgement day. Will probably have a bit of a shape up tomorrow if I get round to it.

Don't rate the no hair allowed under the bottom lip rule. Should be allowed to do whatever you like and best mo wins.

[Harry33]

Don't rate the no hair allowed under the bottom lip rule. Should be allowed to do whatever you like and best mo wins.

I think the bottom lip should be fine, maybe they meant goatee's?

[Kwaka-Kid]

So hows everybody goin? i wanna see some KB Pics!!!

and yes it should be the classic SLUG only, no bottom lip stuff, otherwise its too easy not to look stupid! Its gotta be fair and traditional all roun'!

pics...

[Coyote]

My top lip is looking depressingly bare, except for a few rouge hairs

Stupid adolescence

[diggydog]

i;m wearing my moustash, got more on top lip than on my nut.

[Squeak the Rat]

It's at that itchy stage.....


The official rules are:


No joining of the mo' to the sideburns - this is a beard.

No joining of the handlebars together (apart from top lip) - this is a goatee.

A small growth of hair under the bottom lip (known as a tickler) is allowed.

[bungbung]

Day 14, almost half way...

[Devil]

Finally got around to getting the mo styled :P Not bad for starting growing on the 3rd.

[Joni]

Ha ha ha Devil thats a stunning one... love it! :yes:

Well I can testify I saw K14 yesterday and his is coming along quite nicely too...

I thinks is bloody great guys!!!!

[Phurrball]

Devil! That's all class, you put me to shame.

I fear I am fair...therefore my handlebar is invisible from a distance, and close up I look like a walrus on a bad day.

Better pop up a pic...soon. (Goddam lack of a home net connection)

[Harry33]

Far out I'm going to look like a little kid next to you hairy bastards.

[Joni]

This morning I had a meeting with clients - the guys walk in with Mo's, really big silly looking ones - I say good on you for doing the Movember thing... should of shut up, they apparently have had then for years :shit:

[bungbung]

Nearly there, I'm looking forward to shaving it off.

I'll post a pic on Thursday.

[Harry33]

Yeah same here, my wife really wants to see it gone. I might try and stretch the 1st of December out hehe.

[Hitcher]

I haven't shaved my top lip since 1974. That makes the growth in question old enough to be the father of some who post on this site. Actually, that may explain a lot...

Yep, coming along nicely. Still got 3 days to go so will wait till then to reveal. I think I might make it modecember, mojanuary, mofebuary and moarch too :Punk:

is this you Hitcher

[Devil]

Most recent picture. Just about had enough of the maintenance!

[Hitcher]

is this you Hitcher

No. I'm balder, greyer and wear glasses.

[hXc]

Argh at adolescence! Maybe next year I can try. Although, Choptober interests me a bit more.

[bungbung]

Devil,

You're on track to produce a fantastic walrus.

'tache envy!

[Phurrball]

Nearly there, I'm looking forward to shaving it off.

SNAP! It's kinda tickly, and I look daft (but then, one can't take one's self too seriously can one?)

Enough stalling - here's my effort.

I normally wear glasses, but a handlebar was hard to take seriously with small, brown, plastic framed glasses...

If I was anywhere near Devil or Bungbung I'd have to raid Mrs P's mascara (For my mo fool!) lest my pale imitation fail to be seen...:yes:

[Harry33]

Do we shave today or tomorrow (Dec 1st) ?

[Trudes]

God I can't wait for that thing to be off kendog's face!!

[Hitcher]

"That thing"? How very supportive of you.

[Trudes]

Aww, it's awful!! I don't think I've kissed him for a month. Honestly I'd get told off if I didn't shave for a month, even if it was for a good cause!
I'll post some pics soon too.

[Whynot]

Do we shave today or tomorrow (Dec 1st) ?

i believe the official rules state it should be shaved during/after the official "Mo Crawl" to be undertaken the first saturday night of december.

something like that anyway
try movember.org

[crashe]

Come on guys....... where are all the pic's of these said "Mo's"

Only seen a couple so far on this thread........
Devil's is the best so far to date........

[Deviant Esq]

bungbung deserves an honourable mention too, he's made a pretty decent effort :)

I shaved mine off already unfortunately, noone at my work got into the spirit of it which was a bit of a pain, but then when I shaved it off they said things along the lines of "why'd you go and shave it off, was looking good..."

Can't bloody win. :oi-grr:

Ah well, will make more of an effort next year, it's a good cause after all. More men die each year of testicular cancer than the bloody road toll, and there's still no screening program for it. Mention breast cancer and people are jumping on the bandwagon left right and centre (save the boobs! :pinch:), but the guy's version just isn't talked about.

[TerminalAddict]

coming off tonight !!

[klingon]

Gee thanks for the view up the nostrils Terminaladdict :sick:

Good on you guys who have made the effort. Maybe the KB gals should line you all up and have our own judging session - which mo is most/least tickly etc? ;)

[Trudes]

Good god, count me out. It's bad enough with the one I'm allowed to kiss trying to show me just how prickly he is! Have a shave you scruffy bugger!!

[Kendog]

Good god, count me out. It's bad enough with the one I'm allowed to kiss trying to show me just how prickly he is! Have a shave you scruffy bugger!!

Yeah yeah, I will shave soon enough.

[Harry33]

well here it is....

[FilthyLuka]

my contribution to movember...

:shutup:

[k14]

yeah i know a few days late...
