Movember

So for those of you not in the know, over the past month I grew a moustache for Movember in order to raise funds for prostate cancer research. Thanks to the very generous pledges and donations from friends and family across the globe, I was able to raise a total of $767 CDN. It was a tough mental battle at times, but I made it through (mostly unscathed, other my inability to shave at the start of the month without losing about a litre of blood from cuts. Shaving fail). That amount of money meant that out of the 53 people who had signed up in the Zurich area, I raised a little less than 1/5 of the total money. Not too bad.

Of course, I also like to think that my moustache was also one of the very best (although there was no Movember bash here in Zürich for me to compare against others). Here's the final product:

Moustache combined with pearl snap...look out!

Over the course of the month as I posted my progress on Facebook and people noted the furry upper lip in person, a number of folks said I looked like so and so, a partial list of these is below:

Hockey Card from 1972
Straight out of 70s Porn
Out of work 70s Porn Star
Pedophile
Canadian Frank Zappa
Trucker
Dennis Eckersley (but only for a split second)

I'm sure there were more, but I can't recall them...
