Movember originally started in Australia or New Zealand and involves clean shaven faces on Nov. 1st and culminates at the end of November when contestants display their "Mo's" to be judged for originality, style, celebrity resemblance, etc. The idea of Movember is to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer and the Prostate Cancer Foundation (prostatecancerfoundation.org).

The Rules:
- 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 - 31 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 and may void invitation to the Mo Ball.
- 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.

Celebrating Movember

Last night I was watching Current_TV when they ran a story about a fundraiser for testicular cancer in Australia called Movember. Participants in Movember shave their faces clean on the first of November and then compete all month long to see who can grow the best moustache. I'll be chronicling the entire thing here on this blog and probably posting a time-lapsesque video of my progress at the end.

Here is a picture of me today, growing my man-beard for Halloween. November 1st it'll be gone in order to make way for the best Super Troopers stache ever seen.
