It’s November, yo! The time when you were likely to grow facial hair anyway because it’s freaking cold outside and you can’t find your balaclava. So why not put your money where your mustache is and blog for Movember? Raise some cash for dudes, their prostates, and their mental health.
From the American Mustache Institute Style Guide. For real.
Go to A Clown on Fire to learn more about Bloggers for Movember.
Most importantly, remember to DONATE. Or grow a mustache. Or just generally be awesome about getting a prostate exam. All these things are going to get you laid, guys. I promise. By someone. I am pretty sure. Don’t hold me to that. I can’t be responsible for that kind of thing.
I am going to plan Friday posts about men’s issues for the rest of Movember. If you have any suggestions or anything topical, please send it my way.
Roller Giraffe,
You are my favourite giraffe, as you are my favourite rolling giraffe. That’s right.
Le Clown
I am #1! I am #1! Oh wait, I am the only rollergiraffe, so I guess that makes me #1 out of 1. Still.. I am #1!
WHOO HOOO – and since you mentioned Balaclava (which is a favourite word…note the extraneous “U” from the wanna-be-Canadian)…
OK PEOPLE – GO~ My stache is growing right now…
Ruta for the win! That made my day. So much so that I am going to grant you one of these free Canadian passports we get to hand out. They’re like gmail invites.
I want one! I want one! I want one! What part of Canada am a allowed into?
I have an extra room, but it’s a bit like Texas here in Alberta. Come prepared.
NO!!!!!! I live in Arizona…I want less conservative… I want to live in the place that rhymes with v-a-g-i-n-a….
As in Regina? No. Take Texas lite instead. Trust me on this.
Hee hee – Ok…. I’ve friends in Vancouver that say it’s lovey there and my family is in Ottawa….should I stick with your house?
You can have my whole house if I can go live with your family in Vancouver. Does that sound fair? I have never spent time in Ottawa, but I think it’s nice, if a bit dull because it’s a government town. It does have a lot of winter though.
I like a lot of winter (at least my young self did)…my family is in Ottawa but my friends are in Vancouver – which is GORGEOUS from what I’ve seen but probably unaffordable for a mere librarian such as myself.
I’ve not been to Canada since I was 3 so my memories are pretty much nil…
Let’s ALL move to Vancouver and visit Ottawa once in a while
That sounds like a plan. We can have a house full of bunk beds for bloggers.
with computer ready WIFI
ok – I’ll take your room
So they call it the Walrus because you get food in your stache just like the Walrus does?
Goo goo g’joob!
It occurred to me that I don’t know what walruses eat. I assume fish?
Or penguins?
Shellfish! And echinoderms like starfish and sea urchins. Thanks, google.
Seems rather peaceful for an animal who could take apart a small car without much trouble.
Roller,
Are you really in Alberta? Honestly? Your wit and humour and good sense must be going to waste there. Way to carry on and be the #1 Roller.
BTW, where can I access the American Mustache Institute Style Guide? (I’m too lazy to google it).
True story. Although I will say that many of the stereotypes are not true. Many of them are, but people here are more hilarious than you would expect. Except for Stephen Harper. He is not funny, even when he’s trying to smile while strangling kittens.
Choose your style! http://www.americanmustacheinstitute.org/mustache-information/styles/#header
I was only being predictably stereotyped about AB. I have friends in both Calgary and Edmonton and most of them are lovely people.
I’m thrilled that we are neighbours!
S.H. should stick to playing piano, but not singing. Or, maybe not even.
Wow, the options of staches….
Prostates and brains around the world thank you RG
I have always had a good relationship with prostates. Ok wait, again, that sounded better in my head. I am going to stop commenting about the prostates.
Already donated.
And I’m getting my back hair sculpted into a glorious mustache for beach season.
You’re a superstar. Donation AND a back hair sculpture? You must really love prostates.
Ok, no, I can’t make prostate comments anymore.
If I had more hair there, the mustache would adorn my prostate.
Oh yeah!
That would also be handy for beach season!
You’re so cute, Jen. How can a guy NOT get a Prostate exam after your plug?
I also considered offering them beer. Beer is a pretty powerful motivator too.
If I had a prostate, I would TOTALLY get it checked for you.
Hmm.. I’ll have to consider that and find other ways to make you do my bidding.
Is there really a mustache style guide? Walrus hehe.
There really is. They seem quite dedicated to the growth and care of mustaches.
The more you know!
