Movember Blues

denboy thought this was worth mentioning said Thu, Nov 14th 2013 at 11:39am ET

Every year at this time there’s a whole month designed to remind me and my kind of our main failing as males. We’re the Follically Challenged Face Club for Men, our membership cards printed in our DNA.

Oh to grow a beard for winter, a mustache for Movember or whenever we darn well please. This illusive right of passage laughing back at us every time we grow another wispy ode to inadequacy. Yes beards and mustaches are wonderful things. Guess we’ll keep clinging to the hope that the next decade will deliver the furry facial manhood we’ve dreamed of.

I can grow a pretty weak beard and like one or two hairs on my upper lip. I feel your pain and have to rock a kinda-abe lincoln at best... But then again I only got one fully working testicular, so it's probably got something to do with that.

Could it be that's why we've never seen Lance Armstrong with more than some stubble?

I started growing a month early because I needed it for my Halloween costume.

I'd been growing a bit of a beard, and then shaved in November. Not particularly on purpose, but now I'm going to claim I'm boycotting Movember.
