It's called Movember, and it's been around for years and years. Staging this fake nonsense during Movember would be like showing up to a breast cancer event in a t-shirt promoting colonoscopies.<br /><br />It's Movember. Google it, learn it, do it right, and stop undermining the real one.</blockquote>I've known about No Shave November just about as long (if not longer) than Movember has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movember">been around</a>, and I personally think NSN brings more awareness to the Movember/charity movement during this month.<br /><br />Are you participating this year?Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-85197013789012146512010-11-15T12:06:00.001-08:002010-11-15T12:07:18.892-08:00No Shave November ShirtsJust in case your facial hair doesn't convince people you are participating in this yearly ritual, <a href="http://www.fibers.com/shop/no-shave-november&cat=shop">these shirts</a> can help you out!<br /><br />Which one is your favorite?Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-83220610174442125672010-11-01T08:16:00.001-07:002010-11-01T08:24:27.109-07:00Another Year Another BeardWell it's that time of the year again, I hope you are participating in No Shave November!

This is presumably to find information regarding the wonderful tradition that is No Shave November.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Shave_November">No Shave November wikipedia page</a> does not exist (anymore). Back in 2006 <a href="http://noshavenovember.blogspot.com/2006/11/wikipedia.html">I posted about this tragedy</a>, and about how a certain wikipedia administrator felt that No Shave November is in fact a hoax and not a real celebration.<br /><br />Well it turns out another wikipedia administrator is now putting roadblocks in the path of a real wikipedia page. Turns out user <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gogo_Dodo">Gogo Dodo</a> feels that a No Shave November wikipedia page does not qualify under certain wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#A7">restrictions</a>. After looking at the said restrictions I don't think a No Shave November wikipedia page should be turned down, if done properly.<br /><br />Please leave a note on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gogo_Dodo">Gogo Dodo's user talk page</a> on wikipedia, and let him know that this is in fact a real tradition. And if you happen to be a seasoned wikipedia editor or contributor I would encourage you to use your knowledge and skills to help us get an honest to goodness page about No Shave November.Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-7053243104200854192009-11-19T13:39:00.001-08:002009-11-19T13:39:21.241-08:00Crazy BeardEver wonder what the limits are with regards to what you can do with your beard?<br /><br />Look no further, the following video is a great example of a "freestyle beard"<br /><br /><div class="youtube-video"><object height="265" width="320"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/081dHOYY6IE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" name="movie"> <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"> <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess"> <embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/081dHOYY6IE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" height="265" width="320"></embed> </object></div>Watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=081dHOYY6IE">here</a>.<br /><br />My only question is how comfortable is sleeping?<br /><br />(via <a href="http://presurfer.blogspot.com/2009/11/craziest-beard-ever-seen.html">Presurfer</a>)Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-84922426928732004362009-11-18T10:56:00.001-08:002009-11-18T11:00:22.025-08:00Facial Hair is SexyIf you haven't heard yet, People magazine just released their latest "Sexiest Man Alive" report.<br /><br /><img src="http://fresnobeehive.com/assets_c/2009/11/post_image-1118_johnny_depp_00-thumb-375x520-28381.jpg" /><br /><br />Check out <a href="http://fresnobeehive.com/2009/11/people_magazine_2.html">this summary from the Fresno Beehive</a>.<br /><br />As you look through those pictures, what is one important theme that you can see?

I've noticed this most recently with my motorcycle helmet. The strap that goes around below my chin can catch my hair and tug on it a bit as I ride around. It's a bit annoying but it can also be painful.

Onstage, The Beards preach about the virtues of having a beard with near-militant intensity. The audience will find itself divided as The Beards sing crowd favourites like Growing a Beard, Beard Revolution and No Beard, No Good. The beardless members of the crowd may find themselves singled out and chastised for their lack of facial hair, while those with beards may be brought onstage as an example of what having a beard is all about. But as hilarious as this oddball outfit are, they can be equally appreciated for their music.</blockquote><br /><br />Enjoy. (And please check out their music, it is very inspiring).Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-87333889867635278852008-11-20T10:05:00.000-08:002008-11-20T10:22:16.313-08:00Day 16/17/18/19 - 2008A little late on the posting of these.<br /><br />You may notice my hair is a little flat in some of these photos, blame my recent wearing of hats.<br /><br />Day 16<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvHj8LaYXrzasMdsE6bEmlEz-M9pc3tsl84REVAJz404qCAfpI9Eby0dlwytwmVJJlnOGNhtNopROirVd0jUuJeBPmnjrAtSZfekTi0LhtytZTFaEpWYcnUosbXNkucugRhDY_RA/s1600-h/Day+16.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvHj8LaYXrzasMdsE6bEmlEz-M9pc3tsl84REVAJz404qCAfpI9Eby0dlwytwmVJJlnOGNhtNopROirVd0jUuJeBPmnjrAtSZfekTi0LhtytZTFaEpWYcnUosbXNkucugRhDY_RA/s320/Day+16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270805943247922530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Day 17<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktJv4DueB-yspJNo6B0o15SwvLC5smYsTsEU49YMKY_fwwmAbdvfrMYR3zFS-C5mSw52H-vzpY3qK_FDMiOk3oo9diPFWtGrC5HrCFIruBUv1Q5Y121JhXRi64tfseB4mg09giQ/s1600-h/Day+17.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktJv4DueB-yspJNo6B0o15SwvLC5smYsTsEU49YMKY_fwwmAbdvfrMYR3zFS-C5mSw52H-vzpY3qK_FDMiOk3oo9diPFWtGrC5HrCFIruBUv1Q5Y121JhXRi64tfseB4mg09giQ/s320/Day+17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270805950185461778" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Day 18<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0nIzJgYEYdJJotc3zj05wDSLUNN7UirZ0RxsoolzyCu9W0VUlz1PSHwRuKkq255THf9p7kAbNPWEIMFACISzo8PYhEyGsGO-8z9De_X1zbBv5lSxbyvVw9SAkr9k6wEXEyF2yWg/s1600-h/Day+18.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0nIzJgYEYdJJotc3zj05wDSLUNN7UirZ0RxsoolzyCu9W0VUlz1PSHwRuKkq255THf9p7kAbNPWEIMFACISzo8PYhEyGsGO-8z9De_X1zbBv5lSxbyvVw9SAkr9k6wEXEyF2yWg/s320/Day+18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270805957829968050" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Day 19<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJCCD7s4ckgM28TgDGIIVpXyPlmDxs8-MzsvFse45utJz_lAad7AICL0iE3RmBR0SmabB1WxuHLxpWU8JDSifp-fV8LS9_ZSAhHLIpEAeVRFnG0yUUaWBUIdxjq8kjGSi2CyekkQ/s1600-h/Day+19.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJCCD7s4ckgM28TgDGIIVpXyPlmDxs8-MzsvFse45utJz_lAad7AICL0iE3RmBR0SmabB1WxuHLxpWU8JDSifp-fV8LS9_ZSAhHLIpEAeVRFnG0yUUaWBUIdxjq8kjGSi2CyekkQ/s320/Day+19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270805959441116690" border="0" /></a>Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-84356172833448417052008-11-20T08:39:00.000-08:002008-11-20T08:44:15.495-08:00A Lumberjack?Watching the following video, what is missing?<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5zey8567bcg&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5zey8567bcg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zey8567bcg">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zey8567bcg</a><br /><br /><br />He really isn't that burly without a beard, I think things may have turned out much better for him had he a beard.<br /><br />Thanks to Dav for inspiration with this video/song.Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845743.post-83462179158917742572008-11-20T08:38:00.000-08:002008-11-20T08:39:29.435-08:00No Shave November ArticleCheck out <a href="http://tooshytostop.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/men-ditch-razors-during-no-shave-november/">this article</a> about No Shave November from commenter Eric Wilkens.Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00038562772136381903noreply@blogger.com0
