Well, with the 1st of November upon us, we begin what has become known in some parts as the month of Movember. Basically, to raise awareness about prostate cancer, men shave off their moustaches (if they have any) at the beginning of the month and then let their moustache grow for the rest of the month. Some also raise funds for prostate cancer charities.

First of all, have you ever heard of Movember before? Also, would you be willing to let your moustache grow in support of raising awareness about prostate cancer? What do you think of all this?

Nope, never heard of it.

And I've never ever shaved my 'stache. If I was famous I could milk that to raise a lot of money.

Which would trouble me slightly..."I want to give money, but I don't know...could someone do a stunt first for my pleasure?" It's a criticism kinda not worth making, the stunts raise awareness, maybe people who wouldn't give without that or whatever, it's just one of those things that strikes me...I don't know...whatever works, I guess...

As it takes about a month for my tash to grow far enough that you can spot it without a magnifying glass, no.

Must just be an NZ thing..
I'll be doing my best. Because of school it usually never gets much time to grow, so a full month should be interesting.

It'll take more than a month for me to have a 'stache worth shaving.

Hmmmm, this means the demoustaching end of November becomes kind of a Lawnmowember, then... :D

So this is like no shave november? I think a few guys in my hall are going to do that. I've been doing that for months now. ;)

I don't like mustaches.

Bah! Shame on you!

What about beards?

Have you ever kissed a guy with a beard? *yuck* :p
I hate getting hairs between my teeth.

Uhh...no. I'm a guy with a beard. I don't ever want to kiss a guy with or without a beard...

Hehe... you don't know what your missing ;)

Yeah, I've heard of it. My brother did it last year, and we have posters up around uni about it. I won't be participating though.

Actually, it started in Australia; so it isn't just a New Zealand thing.
