Tempting.  I imagine I'd get the executive veto less than a week in.

I'm in again - I actually have people asking about me doing it already.

Every month is Movember in the city of Pittsburgh. It's like I am on the SNL set of "da Bears" skit most days. That said, I'll pass - I hate the look and feel, but I await the crazy shit you guys will grow and show off with pics.

I'd have to shave to do it, and I'm not about to start over after crossing the 1 year mark.

I know girls that grow a better mustache then I ever could.

I don't really want to shave to start over.

Ingmar-  I'm not going to shave to start over.  I want it to be a spectacular mustache when I finish. 

Evildrider-  the point is about growing a good mustache, it's about looking as ridiculous as possible.

Rasix-  it's for charity man.  Surely the wife can appreciate that?

I'll be doing this again.

I've been really tempted to do this, but I just can't.  When I go 3 or 4 days without shaving, and a decent amount of scrub starts growing on my face, I start sneezing CONSTANTLY.  All day, everyday, until I shave.  I don't know what it is, but the act of having hair right below my nose throws my sinuses into Chaos.  Trying to actually grow a mustache may literally kill me.

You have to remove your finely mustachioed avatar for the month, then.   :oh_i_see:


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: Selby on October 03, 2012, 07:58:32 PM
Considering it's been several years since I shaved and still have no detectable facial hair, I fail.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: murdoc on October 04, 2012, 06:35:26 AM
I'm shaving my beard to start from scratch, too.

There's got to me SOMEONE other than Ghost, Lamaros and I.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition

I'm considering it.

I'd have to shave to do it, and I'm not about to start over after crossing the 1 year mark.

Exactly the position I'm in. My facial hair grows slowly and sparsely, I really don't want to start all over again!


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: ghost on October 04, 2012, 08:05:40 AM
Cop outs.  Quit being wusses.  So just shave the mustache in  and don't start clean all over.  I'm not going to start clean because I want to have the best stache possible at the end of the month. 


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: HaemishM on October 04, 2012, 08:37:56 AM
I would, but I'd have to shave off the bottom walrus part of my beard to do it, so no dice. I've been carefully cultivating it for over a year.

Same boat here, would take me all year to regrow what I have.

I could just not trim it for a month. I'll probably end up looking like Sam Elliot.

This officially starts tomorrow - is it really just going to be me, Ghost and Lamaros?

Post by: lamaros on October 31, 2012, 02:33:39 PM
I'm not doing it in the end I'm afraid. New job starting and all :(

Post by: ghost on October 31, 2012, 02:41:26 PM
Okay.  I'm joining a team with some of my old buds.  You're more than welcome to join in, Murdoc.  We've already raised $1,000. 


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: Samwise on October 31, 2012, 03:32:49 PM
I might give this a shot.  I'll stop shaving tomorrow and see if I go insane from the itching.  Been a while since I've done any facial hair.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: Ingmar on October 31, 2012, 04:12:50 PM
I haven't gotten my shit together enough this month to bug people for donations or anything, maybe next year.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: Bunk on November 01, 2012, 12:42:42 PM
I'm getting pressure from work mates. Considering shaving off the mustache entirely so I'll just have the three inches of chin hair - then growing in the 'stach on it's own without connecting it.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition

I need to remember to ask permission to do this.

I sent an email out yesterday, but typically I don't get donations until the damn thing actually grows in.

I'd join Ghost's team - but they don't like Canucks and Americans mingling.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition
Post by: Rasix on November 01, 2012, 04:04:15 PM
I'm going to stop shaving, just not in any official manner.  I wonder if I can make it 2 weeks before it drives me insane.

I figure you guys could use a little encouragement from one of your idols:

I cheated by growing a beard for the first half of the month, because a beard-in-progress looks way better than a mustache-in-progress, but I took the plunge this morning.

Nice.

I let my beard grow out the same way, but its ended up looking less LumberJohn and more Ali Mohammed JihadJihad.

But I wanted to grow a tony stark.  However I am on day 14 of not shaving at all, and man do I have some grey hairs. I'll post some comedy pictures later.

Sam and I are running with the same look apparently, minus the hat.

Yeah, I stopped early this year.  This was a whole lot more fun when 75 of my friends weren't doing it and posting pictures on Facebook every 15 minutes.   :oh_i_see:

Having inexplicably accumulated some donations, I am now honor-bound to see this thing through to the end.


Title: Re: Movember- the 2012 edition

I started this in October this year because my two-week beard makes me look like I should be driving a windowless van offering candy to children.


Edit:  Uploading from my cell phone is nonsensery.  Rabble.

I thought he looked more like a slightly demented leprechaun than anything, especially with that hat and vest combo.

Not that there's anything wrong with leprechauns, mind you.  :grin:

Trimmed it up a little. Mine's probably sticking around for an extra week as we have our company Xmas party on the 8th and there's always some nice photos taken during that event that I'll need the 'stache for.
