Movember! Are ya?

gav_neonstars · 16-10-2009 12:01AM #1

Ive decided that this year im gonna get involved in this.. If ya haven't heard of it basically its a charity thing where you get sponsorship to grow your mustache for the whole month of November in aid of funding research into prostate cancer and mens health..

Its for a good cause.. looking like a douche for a month will be fairly funny too!

Now heres the question.. what sort of ronnie to go for.. i was thinkin a big fook off handle bar.. but i dont think i could pull that one off..

Maybe a classic Flanders nose neighbor..

Or an un-kept rebel ronnie like Frank zappa..

decisions decisions..

I'd probably be able to grow a dodgy attempted knacker ronnie.

But then again, at my best shot, it would probably end up crooked

Can you just make a donation to avoid looking like a zany twat?

I'm doing it now, I know it's too early but pre pubescent at 29 is not a great look...

Rabies · 16-10-2009 12:09AM

Ya, doing it again this year.
Really popular here, so won't feel like a total nob head

muckwarrior · 16-10-2009 12:09AM

Hitler mustache, anyone gives you **** you get to explain that it's for charity.

You and those around you also have to fun of seeing people getting guilt-tripped by someone purposely grooming themselves to look like Hitler

Sally:Have I got a ronnie?
Mick: A what?
Sally: A ronnie, moustache, like?
Mick: Show.

Mick: Well you're no Tom Selleck, but...
Sally: Ah, go fook yourself.

gav_neonstars · 16-10-2009 12:20AM

Yeah im putting in the ground work on the tashe as we speak.. im only 22 so to get it nice and thick on a Burt Renolds level of play i have to start now.. and the fact im cursed with the irish phenomena of having multi coloured facial hair (or rainbow beard as its technically known) doesn't help..

lintdrummer · 16-10-2009 12:29AM

I am! (check my sig)

But lads, official Movember rules state that you must have a bald face on Movember 1st!

Best of luck with it, October and November are big months for collecting money for different organisations, I was part of a team that raised €45k around this time last year also for my local GAA team facilities.

Due to corrupted Governments including Ireland, I would be amazed if you make as much this year, I hope I'm wrong!

It's a massive event here in Australia and there's some seriously dodgy lookin characters going around come the end of the month. I'll probably start off with a beard then shape it down gradually. Not sure if I'll get an Earl Hickey but no harm in trying.

I agree, however still over a one week period already this year over €4k was raised, one thing is it takes dedication, team work, good personalities and above all else hard work!

You've never tried growing a moustache before have you? It takes a good deal longer than a month to have a Ned Flanders above your mouth.

If anyone here is seriously thinking about doing this (and wishes to follow the rules) then click on the moustache in my signature below. We have a boards team on Movember for the second year running.

Movember, where dudes that don't normally have the balls to grow a tache or a beard, grow one.
With the old "It's for charity mate" backup if they get told they look like a tool.
Can't wait for transgember.

Movember! Are ya?
