Apparently thc oil is the cure. Check out “run from the cure”, some old codger in nova scotia claims that he found the cure for cancer.
You’re absolutely right. I’ll be so happy when my office goes back to being a place that doesn’t look like it’s populated by 1970s porn stars
What an unsettling mixture of steely pragmatism, utterly devoid of empathy and that paranoid resentment thast can only be fertilzed by conspiracy theories.
Oh well, here’s an LOLcat:

It does raise awareness and money. Those are facts. Your bitch is invalid. We need to get tested for this disease. Shoving it under the couch does not make it go away.
Ignorance is not bliss.
Hey OB, why don’t you come to the next summit and tell me to my face, what you think of my moustache.
Does anybody really believe that the cure for cancer is being witheld?
The fact that Steve Jobs died from cancer, tells me that there is no cure.
So, take off your tin-foil cap and join the real world, friggin rube.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
It does as much as Titz n Glitz or any other fund raiser. A stache beats a douchebag any day of the week.
I dunno… big pharmacy is a pretty huge industry.
I’m not really a conspiracy nut in any way.. But i absolutely think that sickness is a huge industry. Just like fear is a huge industry. If the media is instructed to frighten, why wouldn’t medicine be instructed to sicken?
i guess the o.p. to be a male, and a little sookie baby, that can’t grow any facial hair. probly don’t even have pubic hair either. you must be proud of your idiotic self.
“A stache beats a douchebag any day of the week.”
ORLY? You wouldn’t know where exactly this happens, would you Tim, cuz I’d definitely invest in season tickets. >: )
There is a cure for cancer, it’s called EARLY DETECTION, and the moustaches are for awareness. Is it that inconveniencing to have a few stray moustaches wandering around the office for one month? You’re an ass OB.
Mustache vs. Douchebag
Tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Jan 7th in my living room.
Ticket $10 while they last.
WOO-HOO! I’ll bring the hot-pockets and PBR!

For the under card we can have a 3 way cage match between one of PK’s cats, my co workers cat (they’ve already volunteered) and a big ball of yarn. My bets on the yarn. I can feel the excitement building.
I love the staches, the world feels retro
Also I propose that for breast cancer or ovarian cancer awareness, ladies don’t wear bras for a month.
OHHHHHHH TTFN……Have we got some nooze fer yoooooo!
eeh, sounds good on paper Mel, but some ladies need to absolutely wear bras at all times while around other people.
I like the way you think, Mel. 😛 I also feel the need to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVbeiX_lqxs… They’re talking about breast cancer specifically, but it can apply to just about any form or cancer or other terrible disease.
And for intermission Mel can judge the “Best Cornholio Impression contest.

“Heh heh, would you like to see my portfolio?”
Maybe Donk and PK can be ring girls? I’ll make the signs. I’m sure it won’t go past round 2. I’ll make nachos.
If I didn’t wear my bra for a month, my tits would be a puddle around my ankles.
As for ‘staches – loved ’em back in the 70s, especially on gorgeous hippy boys – then, something fucking happened and ‘staches were suddenly associated with gay porn stars. My other ‘arf had one for years and recently added a beard to the equation – now he is one sexy Hub-Unit and all my ‘stache rides are FREE!
You know… Chuck Norris actually doesn’t have a beard? His mustache has overpowered the rest of his facial hair and claimed the entire face as its own! It’s true!
It also deflects bullets AND has the ability to cure cancer. They simply have yet to figure how to stop it from killing the rest of the cells living in a body.
Seriously I think the mustaches are completely dumb and is more of a hipster trend but seriously it’s raised $174M since 04′.

HUGO! Your stache isn’t some fly-by-night endeavour — yours has been cultivated over the course of time and looks great.
The posers with their “movember” staches look greasy and most can hardly grow anything more than a bit of fuzz. heh.
On a serious note, I think it’s a great fundraiser/awareness campaign, though. More attention needs to be put towards male cancers (testicular, penile, prostate, etc…) because most can be treated and cured with early detection. AND, you can get a blood test to check your prostate now — so gone are the days of having to have a couple fingers shoved up your butt (sorry sebastard).
“Also I propose that for breast cancer or ovarian cancer awareness, ladies don’t wear bras for a month.”
God bless you Mel!
Exhibit A to PK’s post would be one P. Kelly.
so if growing a mustache and having people pay you money that you donate to research does nothing to solve this REAL problem, WTF did you do that was sooooo much better?
you don’t HAVE to have a couple fingers shoved up there….
but it may still be an option.
Don’t give up hope just yet sebastard….
Apparently, Zed, they ask you which method you want.
I’m figuring the only action sebastard gets is when he gets his prostate checked. He wouldn’t be so cranky, otherwise. Let’s hope modern medicine doesn’t take that away from him.
a good vibrator and some lube for seb this christmas guys. i’ll throw in 5 bucks right now. and ttfn, those suckers are dangerous at any angle. kitty, i’ll go for a wet t-shirt gig for you and donk, heh,heh.
So what does a ringside seat go for at this little knock-em-sock-em extravaganza? Are vuvuzelas permitted? Mentos and sodey pop?
How about a dildo so he can go fuck himself?
I don’t know what vuvuzelas are, but I’m gonna say yes, OC. But no Mentos! I make my own fresh dammit.
As much as I like to disagree with LS, I can’t say no to wet t-shirt contest.
Hugo’s ‘stache has its own fb page
i wonder how assfro month would go over? thomas, world cup soccer, south africa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpXN8BvGp_o
The poster is right, the drug companies have been holding back the cure for years, this is true ‘cos Jesse Ventura told me when we were on that scavenger hunt for Elvis. We would probably have found him sooner if JFK, Bobbie Kennedy and Martin Luther hadn’t gotten into a pissing contest as to who banged Marilyn the most. Liberace wants Seb to check his prostate, orally.
“Bazz”, she said (in her best Newfoundland dialect), “I roars at you, me ol’ trout”.
yup, he can’t grow facial hair and upset that others can. Sad really. I can see an event like this could make a man feel uncomfortable under these circumstances. You could look at it as you are more evolved and don’t need as much hair.
OP is Justin Bieber. Pansy.
LOL Best comment yet sodey. Bieber indeed…
I didn’t know about the $$ raised, but OP does have a point. A good ‘stache is fine, but I would be willing to bet that the 400 douches at the Palace all with a caterpiller on their lip, did not contribute a fucking dime to the cause.
I just hope they don’t get any ideas next month for Douchember…
Maybe they should have a month called Faguberry, where everyone wears a goatee to raise awareness of the goatse epidemic.
Ya know, I’m not a stache lover, but I don’t really give a flying fuck as to what motivates a dude to grow a stache in MOvember. At my office, we have it all … the pathetic peach fuzz, the biker, the porn star … and the list goes on. Honestly, I think it’s pretty damn easy to identify the dudes that don’t normally have them and it makes me smile … especially one of my friends who happened to dye his pink because of the amount of money he’s raised personally to support the cause.
If some kid wants to grow one to be cool and doesn’t contribute money … I’ll call him a lazy ass for not making an effort … but at the same time his actions still contribute to awareness, and if one man sees the lazy ass kid and decides to go get an exam … then that lazy ass kid at least contributed something. My grandfather fought prostate cancer and won … early detection was a blessing and thankfully he didn’t have to rely on the cure that OB feels is being withheld from the world.
Cancer, in whatever form, is a nasty disease that you don’t fuck with … it altars people’s lives forever … it can take people from us that we love. So, if every man on the planet wants to grow a stache in the month of November … I say we should all support it and stop complaining that we don’t like the way they look or how the stache feels. Because if the presence of those little caterpillars for 30 days our of the year end up saving even one life … it’s worth it.
MOvember isn’t all about you OB, and I won’t begin to make assumptions as to what would motivate you to post this bitch … but maybe you should take those assumptions and stick them up your bum … see if they detect anything unusual up there besides the load of crap that you wrote in your bitch.
..yea chill out dude..don’t get your tighty-whities in a twist
OC, fanks for de compliment – Newfoundland compliments are held even higher in my esteem!
OP maybe a despicable dude, but at least he got you mafas talking about it. What have YOU done to promote awareness other than being a whiney fucking bitch?
Oh yeah. Me love bitches.
Awww shucks ladies, you’re making me blush 😉
lol – I had my stache before I got my drivers license, the only time I’ve been clean shaven since was Basic Training, May-Aug ’79.
Blood test now, eh?
I remember my first prostate test, Doctor said he was going to give me a digital exam. To me “digital” means electronic, so try to imagine my suprise…
apologies to Jonnoman 😉

smack down hugo, eastwood and wayne vs norris and tyson
Slow clap for persevere’s post
Tickets still for sale.. 10 dollas.. just 10 dollarinis..
There is more money to be made ‘treating’ an illness than curing an illness.
Which is why there are laws, where only drugs can be used to treat diseases. So any holistic medicines, plant extracts etc. cannot legally claim to treat a disease.
Big Pharma had this designation done by Government lobbying first…then they had, obesity named a disease & any thing else they could think of labeled a disease all in the name of M O N E Y.
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2007…
I don’t grow facial hair for a cause, I grow it to keep my face warm in the winter.
“…any holistic medicines, plant extracts etc. cannot legally claim to treat a disease.” Because they’ve been scientifically proven to NOT FUCKING WORK.
LOL, OB must be from someone who can’t grow a moustache 🙂
OB you’re a twit. It’s all about awareness to get the public thinking about it and like Hugo or Harper said it’s all about early detection. My dad caught it early and has battled it 3 times in 18 years now. Still stronger then ever!!
Thomas put me down for 2 tickets.
Also I wear a bra to bed so there’s no way on he’ll going a month without one – but I will wear an “I love boobies bracelet”
So true OB. Not to mention, it makes them look ugly. I hear women are going to stop shaving their pubes for Breast Cancer month next year. Imagine those nasty bushes.
Those of us with facial hair for many years will be happy when its over as well.

i don’t really care but i do find that the mustache without the beard, doesn’t look as strange as the beard without the mustache
PG, quit dissing the Amish. LOL.

“THE CATERPILLAR”
I think that all this talk about the “staches” is boring and largely irrelevant. I mean, who cares?
No, the real “Caterpillar” refers to the thin (2″- 3″) strip curly hair – it could be blond or even ginger – that slowly emerges over the “mons veneris” (the mount of Venus) that is found in the in the genital area of the female. It is called “The Caterpillar” for obvious reasons and is an object of deep and continuous reflection among those who are sexually discriminating.
The conclusion is obvious. The “contest” – if there must be one – should not be between various and disgusting mustachioed soup strainers but rather between the delightful variations of “The Caterpillar.”
Thank you very much.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

The fact that you think there could ever be a “cure” for cancer shows you don’t know much about science, OP. Cancer isn’t caused by a bacteria or virus. It’s your own body’s cells going haywire. You can’t ever “cure” it, but hopefully in the future there will be much better treatments and people won’t die so often from it. But saying you want a “cure” for cancer is like saying you want a cure for old age.
I also want a cure for old age.
More there is a cure for old age – die young.
Bro Tim…TOO LATE !
Canadians raised $35 million for the cause over the month of November, and that’s just a portion of what was raised around the world. No, the moustaches themselves cannot cure cancer, but the awareness and funds are a step in the right direction.
