Here’s a chance to do something good: Al, having just sailed with his wife from Oakland to Connecticut via the Panama Canal, is raising money for prostate cancer research by growing a mustache.
Like this.
By growing a mustache people will ask Al about it, and he can segue into other manly topics like prostate health. Unfortunately Al is having a little trouble getting started.
So to help him out, I sent in 18 dollars in his name. Would you like to help? I drew up a fundraiser meter, and would love to see everyone pitch in enough dough to bring the temperature up to 96.8, so we know Al has a healthy internal climate. We’ll be using the anal-meter this time and we want to hit the prostate, so get out your checkbooks friends and send in some money, then post your total in the comments and I’ll update the drawing.
Here’s the pitch from the man himself, R. Allen Carey:
Hi All,
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ll be growing a Mo (slang for moustache, or just stache if you want). Cora and I will be taking pictures DAILY of my best and only stache ever. So if you would like to be included in daily email updates please reply to this email.
In case you’re wondering, I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about men’s health and the fight against prostate cancer. Why…
* Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America.
* In 2007, more than 218,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 27,000 American men will die from the disease.
To sponsor my Mo (moustache) and fight against prostate cancer please go to http://www.movember.com/us/donate, enter my registration number which is 123199 and your credit card details. Or you can sponsor me by check made payable to the “Prostate Cancer Foundation” clearly marking the donation as being for my registration number: 123199. Please mail checks to: Prostate Cancer Foundation, Attn: Movember, 1250 Fourth St, Santa Monica, CA 90401.
All donations are made directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation which will use the funds for high-impact research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law.
Why should you support me in this? I think I need to do this since we are all getting a bit older and my understanding is when we all turn forty (which is all too soon) we need to get the treatment from the doc every year. That’s right, we will have to bend over and take it like a man.
So help me grow the best mustache I can and fight the good fight! This November I can gonna look Mo-betta.

Thanks JR,
On that note I want everyone out there to know I am taking one on the lip so you hopefully won’t have to take one up the ass.

and i checked out that link. half the guys don’t have mustaches, but goatees or some other pussy interpretation of a mustache. Wait till i sober up enough to hold the camera steady and I will take a picture of a real mustache. not some sort of semen trail, but a real honest to god gold miners mustache.
