Sans Mustachio…
I just finished watching a documentary called Mansome. If you’re a man and you haven’t seen it, you may want to cue it up on Netflix. My wife made me watch it, I swear. (I think she’s trying to tell me that I’ve lost that edge…) An hour and a half later, I didn’t know whether to do some pushups and beat my chest, or thread my chest and buff my nails.
Now that I’ve had some clarity (and some tequila, mas fina), I see the path in front of me. I need to feel like a man again. I need to prove to my wife that I still have “it”! And the only way to feel like a man is to do something manly (other than visiting a strip club). So, I’ve decided that I am going to grow a mustachio for the month of November!
Do I know what a mustache on my face will look like? Hell no.
Am I afraid of not being able to recognize the guy in the mirror? Hell yes.
Have I ever left facial hair on my face for a whole month? I don’t think I’ve ever left facial hair on for a whole week. I just hope that no one will be calling 911 next month saying they’ve seen Bin Laden in San Diego…that would not be funny. Unless they followed up with “…and he’s quite dashing in person!” Ok, that’s still not funny.
In case you were wondering, I’m not the only person who thinks growing a mustache for an entire month is a great idea. There’s a movement called Movember that raises awareness for men’s health issues, such as testicular and prostate cancer. This annual event happens every…wait for it…November! All you have to do is start November 1st with a clean face and then unchain the beast until December!
Mo is slang for mustache. Vember is short for November. Put the two together and you’ve got 30 days of wooly good times!
Put a bunch of “mo’s” in a room together and you’re going to get something done. Something.
I’m looking for a few good men to join the fight against diseases that affect us men! (It doesn’t matter where in the world you are…you can still join my team.) Let’s raise some money for charity!
My team is called “The Hairy Worms” in honor of…wait for it…our very own Worm and for the other young Worms of the future!
