    Not sure what the problem is regarding exactly what the action is that generates the publicity and subsequent donations. Perhaps the grumpiness should be directed at the fact we have to fundraise for these sorts of organisations.

    I get grumpy that the leading cause of death in 15-59 men in NZ is suicide. Thus I have a painful and disgusting mo on my face - facial hair and I do not agree. But I've raised a few hundy towards a good cause

    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.

    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..

    I've noticed moustaches have made a come back in the late teen, early 20's age group. Matched with a mullet of some sort.

    The worst thing about Movember is when someone grows a weedy traffic cop job (usually takes all month) and someone says they 'like it' (usually as a joke) which then leads to permanence.
    I then have to stop myself from saying something derogatory out loud. especially when it is your boss.
