I'm with the Rager here. It's lazy shit.
Go without booze for a month (fuck that) , go run/walk some crazy stuff, sure, I'll pay that.
But be lazy and just don't shave for a month? Really?
Is there another charity where I can not wear deodorant for a month, anyone care to sponsor me for that?
The Women in Sensible Shoes Consortium?

@Kiwiwomble I’m sorry you think that. Couldn’t be further from the truth.
Edit. Actually I’m really angry with that comment. That’s fucking shit and nothing what I stand for in life. Nothing. The sort of grand standing behavior I can’t stand.
Won’t engage again.
You could always run a marathon AND grow a moustache ? Maybe do a 40 hour famine and dry July at the same time.
That way you cover all bases.

Running is one of my 'happy places'. Fuck getting older and not being able to run as often as I want.

Thr key to movember IS that's its simple. It's really accessible, and everyone knows 3 or 4 people doing it, thus donate 3 or 4 times. It gets enormous spread simply because it's not hard to do.
Very fucking effective little fundraiser
-
Yeah my facial hair might as well have it's origins as the founder of steelo, so absolutely fuck growing facial hair, especially on the top lip where it's super thick and collects half of every mouthful of food.
I can't grow it much more than two weeks without it being agony.
But yeah, fuck people raising funds for charity without going through hardship, what a disgrace.
-
Are you supposed to get sponsored for growing a mo? I thought it was all about "raising awareness"...
-
Strange what this thread has become. The Major simply said he wasn't interested in sponsoring someone because they didn't bother to shave their top lip for a month, that he'd much rather sponsor someone for achieving something.
In a thread titled Grumpy Old Man, this seems a fair view to espouse 🤷♂️
But no, that's outrageous, how dare he! You'd have thought he asked for the fucking event to be cancelled and the founders to be executed!
Bunch of grumpy cnts, all of you

Indeed. In hindsight, the signing off of Stupidest Idea Ever did send some people a few wrong signals .... as M4L alluded to, it is actually a shit hot idea.
It seemed others wanted to run with the character assassination and avoid my GOM point.
This is the GOM thread, where people are supposed to vent about yelling at clouds ....

It wasn't a hot take or an opinion .... it was a grumpy old man whinge!

Maybe this is the thread where the Fern finally eats itself. People getting grumpy about people getting grumpy about people getting grumpy.

Maybe get some wax and try and compete with this guy ?

I wonder if Movember is just a cunning way of making it socially acceptable for white dudes in the West to grow a moustache again. Prior to Movember the only moustaches to be seen were probably grown in the mid 1980s.

There was a brief underground flareup in the 90s..
