The Escapist News Team Does Movember

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the one, the only, the ridiculously sexy Escapist News Team Movember Men [and Women]!

Movember. It's the manliest month of the year. It's a special time, when men around the world come together to say, "We might have something untoward going on up in our corn chutes, and we'd like other men, preferably those with some degree of training, to check it out for us." We drink beer. We swap stories. And by God, we grow mustaches!

Movember is all about reminding ourselves and the world of the importance of men's health. But we don't have great, lovely snoobs to flounce about, so instead we grow hair on our lips. It's a poor substitute that leaves most of us looking like the seediest sorts of criminals, but sometimes the journey to manhood takes you to places you really don't want to go.

But led by our fearless captain, Logan "The Manchester Manchu" Westbrook, we, the Escapist News Team, are going there anyway! And what a team it is, folks: Marshall "The Machismo" Honorof, Mike "Pretty Princess" Thompson, "Other" Mike Kayatta, Paul "Gorgeous" Goodman, Heather "Handlebars" McLellan, yours truly [bringing some much-needed class and dignity to the proceedings] and of course, the News Team Generalissimo herself, Susan Arendt, who despite a genetic predisposition against mustache-growing is doing her part by finally revealing to the world the hideous, lip-borne mutation that has haunted her since birth. Good on ya, Susan!

Nothing drives the chicks crazy like a thick mound of hair riding a lip like it's Patrick Swayze's surfboard, but Movember is about more than just impressing the ladies. It's about supporting a good cause. So support us - support good health - and above all else, support mustaches - at the official News Room Stashes page at Movember.com [http://www.movember.com/m/2187326]. Kick in a few bucks, send us a message and show us you care. And keep an eye on this space, because we'll be posting regular updates of all these luscious bad boys as they blossom into truly fearsome heartbreakers. That's right, ladies - we're just getting started.

I'll join you! I haven't shaved all week, might as well delay it the entire month.
Oh, and what manly men (and women) you all are!

I will monitor this development... and if you're clever you might even be able to keep the beards for Manuary!

you know this is the first year that i've heard widespread usage of "movember", ever since i was in middle school i had always heard the world "no-shave-ember" or "novembeard", just curious as to why it's exploded so much..

technically i am participating as of right now, but i'm about to go shave because it annoys the hell out of me and i feel like i'm gonna peel my skin off if i keep it on any longer.

i'll support on the sidelines from here on out.

I'm growin' it out. My girlfriend loves facial hair, so there's that, and now I have a charitable excuse to not shave.

Also I'm out of razors and they're like, sixteen bucks. C'mon.

The ladies have manned up, so to speak. Guys, you now - officially - have no right to complain about pink breast cancer ribbons. Get one now and stand up for those willing to stand up for you.

Anywhoz, not partaking in Movember, because everyone I know will beat me to death with a razor if I don't shave.

I know it's for a good cause and all, but... well, just don't be surprised if you get your faces mauled by particularly territorial cats or ferrets. ^^°

Finally, an excuse!

Shaving annoys the hell out of me. Besides, I look better with stubble anyway

I don't have to worry about shaving, despite being 20, it takes me months to grow something to actually cut, so I don't have to shave until probably January at the soonest.

Nope, this is an elite news team exercise. The few, the proud... the n00z.

Someone asked me to do this; I managed 2 days. I can't grow a real 'stache, so I'm not gonna try.

Just giving you guys advance warning: all my hair is brown, except my mustache, which always grows in blond. You'll be able to see it for yourself pretty soon, but you might want to prep for laughing now.

I support this movement 100% and wish that I could participate. I unfortunately have a pre-nuptial agreement with my wife that states if I ever grow a moustache, she will divorce me.

To show solidarity, I'm growing a beard instead.

I dyslexicized the article's title (which is strange, 'cause I normally ain't) to read : "ESCAPIST NEWS TEAM MEMBER DIES", and I was actually quite concerned.
Now i understand it's the mustache thing. Carry on.
