2008 November 01 – Links for today
Today is the first of Mo’vember (the month previously known as November). As such I am now clean shaven (for the first time since January 1st) and as I was in the process of cutting my chin to ribbons for charity, I styled my mo to be in a number of different ways, including but not exclusively, the handlebar, the trucker, the fu manchu and the pencil. Looks like it will probably be the Fu Manchu or the Sanchez. Have a look at www.movember.com to find out more. Alternatively, if you fancy giving to charity to support my mo (mo’ money? – sorry) to help raise awareness to men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against men’s depression and prostate cancer, you can donate online using your credit card.
