I Grew A Mustache! (Back in 2009)

D.J. and John Holmes
The Resemblance to John Holmes Is Both Unfortunate and Hilarious.

Back in November 2009, I participated in Mo’vember, which is a charity to raise awareness for men’s prostate cancer.

Basically, you grow a mustache, hit up your friends for money, and then shave it off December 1.

I had never grown one before, and let me tell you a few things.

  1. It came out red.
  2. I looked like John Holmes.

I also have one other thing in common with John Holmes. No, wait, I can't lie to you good people.
It looked really bad, and got to be so embarrassing that on day 24 my ex-wife and I walked into a super-trendy restaurant for dinner.  I was actually ashamed of how I looked.

There is a whole pile of wrong here.
Would you like to see the metamorphosis from no-mo to mo and then back to no-mo?  You goddamned better, because here it comes!

I also put the slideshow to music, namely Chris Burke (Life Goes On‘s Corky) singing Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da by The Beatles.  He nails it.

    I can’t even see your ‘stache in that pic – I’m too busy admiring those beautiful cats! (Especially that large ginger fellow… is he a particular breed?).

    Oh, my! That pic with the cats and the robe and the grin with the mustache… Wow. You are right. There’s a whole lotta wrong when you put all of that together. Wow.

    That being said, when I watched the video, by the end, I was liking the ‘stache. And I am not usually a fan of facial hair.

    But that pic. *shudder* Maybe it’s the robe that makes the rest so wrong?
