About The Site

I am a big fan of MOvember.

For those not in the know, it is a charity event where eligible males grow a moustache for the month of MOvember and raise money, and awareness, for men’s health issues.

Last year I ripped off a cracker of a Reynold’s style slice of goodness. This year, sadly, I am not partaking, too lazy to shave the beard, but still moing it in spirit, especially seeing as my beard rocks to the Keanu Reeves tune of a South American coastline and thus my stache doesn’t actually connect with the Lincoln goodness down below.

I’ve sponsored my local cricket club a few pennies and I completely plan on getting into Myers and representing with a fine $30 mo short, of which 70% goes to charity. They’ve got some designs, thinking about the Zeppelin one, or the Magnum one, or possibly the Village of the Mo one, Have to have a geez and see which one rocks it out hardest. But, I don’t mind forking over the cash because it is for such a good cause, and I am laming out in order to preserve the beard of good times I’ve got going.

I encourage everyone to go to the site, linked above, and look up any friends and donate for them, ll donations over $2 are tax deductible you Hebrew tight wads, so open up the pouches of gold and share it around. Or, like me, get some score merch and pimp the dream.

It also got me thinking - best moustaches in literature?

Being a nerd, my list is possibly biased, but, here goes.

Tony Stark (even though he came in for a ‘cool’ goatee for a while, Fraction has brought him back to the lip tickling glory days!)

Dr Stephen Strange (even though he might just be an amalgam of Tony Stark and Reed Richards, with a pimpin’ coat, he still makes the list because he continues to own the womb broom after so many decades! and in LEGO pimp version, rocking out a decidedly Police Academy Blue Oyster look…)

Daniel Plainview (hey, the movie was based on a book, kinda…)

Already sold many a unit of The Choice That Had To Be Made at the local book store. Also, already got feedback from a few friendly locals about their thoughts on it all.

Nothing better than putting your ass out there…but will it get kissed, kicked, fingered or royally fucked?

Trying to keep solid with a thousand words a day on the novel. Going pretty well, for the days when I do write. Weekends generally don’t seem to count because I am travelling too much, but otherwise I’m keeping strong. If I can keep it up, and I don’t see any reason not too, and I have January holidays approaching, then I should be able to finish early in the year of our lord, 2009. How absolutely thrilling.
