View Full Version : MOvember
Hi all,
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) the "TBGA Mo Bro's" will be growing moustaches. That’s right we're bringing the Mo back because we're passionate about changing the state of men’s health.
Thanks to Clinglish for bringing this to our attention!
Male health is a major issue, did you know:
Men are far less healthy than women.
The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer - more than the number of women who die from breast cancer.
Depression affects 1 in 6 men…Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.
Help us change the face of men’s health by sponsoring our mo's.
Please go to http://www.movember.com.au/au/sponsor, enter our Rego number which is 11017.
The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men's health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer and male depression.
If you'd like to come aboard and join us in helping raise some much needed funds for a very worthy cause please go to www.movember.com and join our team. You'll need our Rego number of 11017 and my email addy which is lukeagriffin@yahoo.com.au
Cheers and here's to a month of mo grooming and the best Boonie look alike competittion ever! ;)
cheers,
Luke
(On behalf of Clinglish and The TBGA Management Team)
More info is available at www.movember.com.au
Movember is proudly grown by Motorola, Polaroid, Remington and VB.
Movember is proud partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative.
An additional point I'd like to add is that I have a personal motivation for wanting to raise the awareness of and help to find a cure for prostate cancer given that my father was diagnosed with it not so long ago.
Treatment has gone very well as it was detected early and things are OK.
I can't urge enough though, like the TV add says, BE A MAN, go get checked. They don't have to shove fingers up ya bum anymore :shock: .
A simple blood test can be done, certain levels of Antigens measured are used as an indicator as to the potential presence of cancer or not.
If you're over 40, go do it...it could save your life. It did my Dad's.
Luke
So, 25 views (22 at least were not me) and no one's putting their hand up to be a Mo Bro?
You bunch of sissy skirts :twisted: All too scared of a bit of fuzz on ya lips aye? C'mon where's your sense of adventure! :lol:

Sorry boys,
I was going to do it, but i just shaved off the beard and mo, and my wife just told me that she has rediscovered how much she likes kissing me now that i am clean-shaven, so I'm out I'm afraid. :D
I will sponsor one of you.
Luke, now you have to design an emoticon with a "boonie" style mo.
Puk
So, what colour was the skirt you wanted :twisted: :lol:
Hefty's on our Mo Bro Team at work, sponsor him mate or just grow one yourself, it's only 1 month :lol:

Gentlemen, I too shall "don the moustache". Reminds me of my Spitfire flying days. Count me in, by jove. Tally Ho!
And gents, may I suggest that an adornment on one's upper lip not be taken lightly; indeed it may be poignant to engage in some tactical planning beforehand. Please peruse the briefing below:
DalÃ* - narrow, long points bent or curved steeply upward; areas past the corner of the mouth must be shaved. Artificial styling aids needed. Named after Salvador DalÃ* who was known to sport such a style later in his life.
English - narrow, beginning at the middle of the upper lip the whiskers are very long and pulled to the side, slightly curled; the ends are pointed slightly upward; areas past the corner of the mouth usually shaved. Artificial styling may be needed.
Fu Manchu - long, downward pointing ends, generally beyond the chin;
'Pancho Villa' moustache - similar to the Fu Manchu but thicker; also known as a "droopy moustache", generally much more so than that normally worn that the historical Pancho Villa.
Handlebar - bushy, with small upward pointing ends. See baseball pitcher Rollie Fingers. Also known as a "spaghetti moustache", due to it being stereotypically associated with Italian men.
Imperial - whiskers growing from both the upper lip and cheeks, curled upward (distinct from the royale, or impériale)
Moustachio or mustachio - large luxuriant moustache, with hair sometimes growing down the sides of the mouth. Also known as a Nosebeard.
Pencil moustache - narrow, thin, closely clipped, outlining the upper lip, with a wide shaven gap between the nose and moustache. Also known as a Mouthbrow. See John Waters.
Toothbrush - thick, but shaved except for about an inch (2.5 cm) in the center; associated with Adolf Hitler and Charlie Chaplin
Walrus - bushy, hanging down over the lips, often entirely covering the mouth
dam, i would be in on this but hate to say it... but notice the tag under name<<<<...:D i havent made it into the mo stage yet.
We need to get before and after photos :P
Good luck boys your doing it for a good cause
Boys I have the drop on you Mo-v on over , I knew if I stuck with it long enough these dam things would be back in style , it was that or fly to LA and try and kick of a porn career (again) Cmon you fellas get into it.

This is awesome boys, good on you all!
Photos will be insisted on ;)
A week by week update in the photographic form (a bit like time lapse photography).
Don't forget that all you need to do is drop by www.movember.com and use our rego number 11017 and my email addy which is lukeagriffin@yahoo.com.au to sign up to TBGA's Mo Bro's (with bows) Team. Then get stuck into raising some funds!
Let's see how big we can make this thing!

I feel priveliged to be involved in such a fund/awareness raiser as this. Excellent to see prostate cancer awareness catching up with breast cancer awareness. "She'll be right, mate" just isn't good enough. My Dad suffered for many, many years with severe depression before his eventual early departure. I urge anyone who knows a man or youth battling depression to support them in seeking competent advice.
Top photo Robbo! Are all TBGA team members to post a photo of their baby-smooth faces (maybe with a newspaper front page to prove date)?
My pic will be up tomorrow...

Will post my mug up tomorrow, but be warned it's not a pritty sight. :lol:
How do we go about supporting you boys? :P
I have had a flick through the post, sorry if it has been explained already :oops:
Unfortunately, Mo growing would pretty much cost me my job, but no reason why we all can't support you guys in doing this sterling job. :D

Your boss'd be a tight arse if he sacked you over this mate...go on, you'll never "mo" if you don't have a go ;) yeah yeah, I know crap rhyming, but at least I tried!
Like Luke said, I'm on the Mo-Bro team with him at school but I'll share my enthusiasm here too.
I went the full shave last night in prepararion (the most shaved I've been since end of grade 12!) and I got before and after photos. Unfortunately I left the camera at home so I'll have to post them tomorrow and then keep up the MMM's (mid-movember moments) as we go.
Jono.
Yeah, unfortunately I have to look "Professional" :roll: My pet hate is shaving though, so unnecessary if you ask me :x
Oh well, we can all do our bit to support the TBGA boys anyway. I know I will be :wink:
It's a great cause, even being so young, the "macho" attitude prevents me from even taking illness seriously. It's terrible when it actually costs peoples lives.

C'mon people, anybody not growing their mo's should really get behind the boys in any way they can (donating would be a good start :P ).
God knows we all spend enough supporting our bows :roll: , we can all spare a little to support the boys with this great initiative :wink:

Nice Hefty...I shall call you sir Chopper Reid! 8)
To Quote one "Bullet Tooth Tony"
"You can call me (Him - Hefty) Susan if it makes you happy"
8)
LOL
"Why do they call him Boris the bullet dodger, Tony?"
"...Because he dodges bullets Avvey."
Well, here's my ugly mug with my best impersination of the "dodgy PE teacher" mo. Was after the chopper reid thing, but some less than handy blade work meant that one of the handlebars was a little short so had to go for another look!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/maxy79/Max_9th_Mov.jpg
Maxy
Whats with everyone going the Chopper Reid look?
Even I went for it.
Well this whole MOvember thing has just taken on a whole new meaning for me.
I recieved a phone call from my Dad last night, turns out that my Grandfather has just been diagnosed with Prostate cancer :(
He had been getting up every hour during the night to pee and not having much luck. Went to the Doc and had a blood test done.
When they do this blood test there is a scale they use from 1 to 40, 40 being the worst. His results came back in the high 30's he's having the final test in a weeks time to confirm this. But so far the Docs are saying that it's not looking good for him.
Well looks like I'm screwed then, both Dad and Grandad are diabetics and a history of skin cancers and now Prostate cancer :shock:
So please help out us MO Bro's and donante to the cause as well as get your selves checked.
That is not good news Mick.
Rest assured however that there are some amazing specialists in our medical systems and miracles are seen every day.
My thoughts and prayers with your family and grandfather.
Luke
Sorry to hear about that Mick. My thoughts are with you at this hard time.
All the best
Sorry to hear about your grandfather hood, thats no good at all.
But, as they say in the movies, the show must go on, SO below is my 17 day old mo, just for the record!!

I would just like to take this time to say sorry. :(
I was participating in the "Movember" campaign (at work we are making a donation) however I looked so suspect with the pitiful growth between my mouth and nose that parents of small children were getting a tighter grip of their children when I was around. So, to ease the concerns of parents in popular shopping complexes, I have shaved it off.
It was getting to the point where it was embarrassing even walking out of the house with it.
We are still making the donation and the other people at work are making up for my short comings.
Cheers
Thanks for the thoughts guys.
I'll be posting my pick tomorrow after I trim a bit.
My Mo is distinctly like the TBGA logo. :lol:
Ok then here it is.
The true scruff that I am :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/NotquiteRHood/IMG_2916.jpg
And the TBGA Mo :lol:

Ok were are the rest of you's pics hey
Not a bad effort for one month HOOD!
What do you have to do normally, shave three times a day?
Puk
Thats some serious facial hair Mick. Good Onya! :D

Puk
The wife wishes :lol:
I hate shaving and most of the time bar special occasions I have a full beard but it's usually kept about 4-5mm long.
Not even one month yet ;)
Yeah some say that I'm the missing link :lol:
It's funny that under the nose it's almost blond/Grey :evil: and then graduates further down the face to almost black :? :lol: So it almost looks like the tusks of a boar Mmmm wonder if my Mo would go trophy class.
Where's the pictures of you other guys?
Let's see some updates :P
I must apologise, have not had much time for mopho's (mo photos) in the last few weeks.
I'll do my best to get one up by the close of play today.
cheers,
Luke
I find i have very little time for a lot of the mofo's around here, too. :lol:
Puk
Here 'tis... My "mid" month MOpho ;)
