Here in good ‘ole ‘Merica we celebrate Thanksgiving this Thursday. Wait a minute, America? This isn’t Le Clown! No, you’re right, it’s not. It’s his long john wearing sidekick, Becca. Now that we have that cleared up, let’s get back to Thanksgiving.
The holidays mean I get to binge on stuffing, sleep in, and run away from my dad and his camera for a few days. It also signifies the beginning of the end of November. This year I am thankful for the opportunity I was given to be a part of something that not only inspired so many other bloggers to share their stories, advice, and humor, but also something that gave me a personal sense of purpose and fulfillment. That’s not even mentioning all of the blatantly incredible aspects of the cause. This year, I am thankful for Movember.
Obviously, I am giving thanks to Le Clown for dominating WordPress and brainwashing us all into becoming his little philanthropic peons. I guess I can’t not thank myself, the biggest pee on peon of all. So, thanks me. I also can’t thank misslisted, Emily, and Roller Giraffe enough for their dedication to this project. Did I say thank you too much yet?
No? I didn’t think so. To everyone who wrote a post dedicated to Movember, who donated, or who shared/linked back to/tweeted anything involving Bloggers for Movember: I would personally deliver a pair of my long johns and a booty bump to all of you if I could. I’d even wash them first. Especially Leo, who agreed to donate half of his generous donation specifically to my US team in order to ensure that his name be entered in my banner contest.
Even Movember co-founder Adam Garone thought Leo’s efforts were worth a shout.
All of this has made me so giddy that I decided to get behind a webcam. Yes, you read that correctly. I will be announcing the winners of my Movember contest in a vlog. That’s some intense shit for a blogger.The announcement video will be posted at the end of the first week of December, and the final banner illustrated by Tim will go live shortly after that.
On behalf of Le Clown (and myself), an apology must also be made. Because of the time demand that the success of Bloggers for Movember required, the blogs that Le Clown normally reads and comments on have been neglected. Despite having attempted to keep up the normal pace, sometimes even Le Clown can’t do it all. He will be resuming his normal activity as of December.
I can already hear mens’ hair clippers buzzing worldwide, which means that Movember is sadly coming to a close, but I am here to make sure that we go out with a bang. Not like a big hairy orgy bang or anything. I just want you to send in some candid pictures of your growing member. That’s right, I want everyone who has a Mo (real or fake) to post your hairy grill on the Bloggers for Movember Facebook page, or your own blog, or whatever. Just get ‘er done, okay? We did…
Emily. Sexy. That is all.
By popular vote, the Jackstache. I am still coughing up hairballs. Proud day.
As of today, the Bloggers for Movember network has raised just over $1200 as a whole. That not only exceeds the goal amount for Le Clown’s Movember contest but also Madame Weebles’s contest. That means that Deliberately Delicious and Tracy Fulks will soon be receiving Le Clown’s mustache remnants for completion of their shrines, and Madame Weebles is going to reveal herself to all of WordPress. It’s quite possible that these events may induce world peace. Possibly doomsday, but most likely world peace.
There are also a few other fun participation incentives floating around such as The Middlest Sister’s contest (winner will be announced on November 23) and Emily’s contest. If you enter them all, your odds of winning will be higher because of math and probability and other stuff that I don’t comprehend.
If you still haven’t donated but would like to do so, please follow this link to donate to the Canadian Bloggers for Movember team and this link to donate to the US Bloggers for Movember team. There isn’t much time left, so don’t procrastinate. I certainly never do.
Lastly, please take some time to go peruse some of the exceptional Movember posts still coming hot off of the press. Carrie Rubin wrote about some interesting hair facts, Kate told us how to keep our mustaches looking fly, and Jason shows off his manly Mo progress as promised. All of this should keep you busy while I go lose my dignity in a bowl or five of stuffing.
Great recap Becca … and glad to hear that someone didn’t lose their hair .. but still … nice stache!
Posted by aFrankAngle | November 21, 2012, 07:12That is 100% Jack fur. It was rough, but we came through it. Thank you!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:12OUCH! … at least he was a good sport.
Posted by aFrankAngle | November 21, 2012, 09:13I let him drink out of the toilet for a very long time, so I think we are back on good terms.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:17LOL … and cheers!
Posted by aFrankAngle | November 21, 2012, 09:20Congrats on such a success! But, more importantly, do I have time to grow a Jackstache before Movember ends?
Posted by speaker7 | November 21, 2012, 07:33That’s greatly appreciated! There is always time for a Jackstache… if you can catch him.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:12Becca,
I’ve thanked you many times in the back-end… But Mo’Sista, you’ve made Bloggers for Movember the success that it is. You have been fully involved, from the time I have asked you to join this campaign to next week, I’M GUESSING!! Again, thank you for not only supporting me with this one, but often taking the lead. I’m also thankful that through this we have developed a friendship.
So there, look what you made Le Clown do… be all mushy and stuff.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | November 21, 2012, 07:47I don’t know if thanking someone in the “back-end” is necessarily considered “mushy” but I’ll take the thank you. Wait, now that I rethink that …
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:15Becca,
Shut up, and take the praise.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | November 21, 2012, 09:19Yes sir. *Lights cigarette*
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:21Hooray for the huge success! That is a sexy sexy stache, Becca!
Posted by MissFourEyes | November 21, 2012, 08:14Thanks ma’am, jack wasn’t too happy as you can tell by the stiff arm he is giving me in the second photo.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 08:54Most excellent ~ Happy Movember & Thanksgiving.
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | November 21, 2012, 08:22Appreciate that!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 08:55You look so hot with that mustache, it’s ridiculous.
Posted by Daan van den Bergh | November 21, 2012, 08:32Jack didn’t agree, but thank you. Now, I demand you post yours, or no more sound effects.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 08:56Ha! Beat you to it! I already showed my mustache in this post. And this time I plugged it right!
Posted by Daan van den Bergh | November 21, 2012, 11:14Ooops. I did see that already. My mind is being blown by WordPress today.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 11:19Yes, the WordPress is a mind-blowing entity. It’s the brain’s sex-toy.
Posted by Daan van den Bergh | November 21, 2012, 12:13WORD.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 12:16Tru dat, bro
Posted by Daan van den Bergh | November 21, 2012, 14:50Great wrap-up post. You guys were all amazing in your efforts. I’m sure you’ll sleep for a month straight. Well, that is if life didn’t intervene. And thanks for the mention. Much appreciated!
Posted by Carrie Rubin | November 21, 2012, 08:42Thanks for writing such an informative post Carrie. It’s quite possible I may hibernate at least for a few days. I like to believe that Le Clown doesn’t require sleep.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 08:58Awesome recap and great job! Can’t wait to illustrate some WINNERS.
Posted by timmer | November 21, 2012, 08:58Your damn skippy, Tim! I plan to draw the winners and compile the video next weekend. It is going to be sexiness overload.
And a very special thank you to you for collaborating with me on my Movember challenge. I had a blast with this. Also, all of your other incredible work for the Bloggers for Movember Facebook Timeline banners is greatly appreciated. You’re just…. FREAT (fucking great)!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:06Reblogged this on 25ToFly and commented:
Le Clown finally let me use his blog. I kind of feel like I am Sam Wheat in that one scene from ghost and his blog is Oda Mae Brown. I can even almost hear Unchained Melody playing in the background. Yeah, I went there with the Ghost reference. Problem with that? I didn’t think so. Go read my masterpiece and finally see the reveal of my JACKSTACHE!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:20Awesome recap. I don’t care what Jack says, that Jackastache looks good on you.
Posted by Storkhunter | November 21, 2012, 09:25Thank you thank you! Take that you heathen cat.
Just kidding Jackers. If you read this, I wuv you.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:36Thanks for all your work, Becca. And thank you, Le Clown for bringing this great cause to our attention.
Posted by Cathy Ulrich | November 21, 2012, 09:38Thank YOU for supporting Movember as well.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 09:40Becca, I love the JACKSTACHE! It turned out splendid. Thanks for all your hard work. This is a great recap.
Posted by The Bumble Files | November 21, 2012, 12:12Thanks Amy, I am glad we both came out of it alive!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 12:16Thank you Becca, Le Clown and all! It’s been an exhilarating ride…

Posted by eof737 | November 21, 2012, 12:56Happy Thanksgiving indeed! Thank you.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 15:40There’s a special place in Heaven waiting for all of you…. Yeah, I know, I didn’t believe it at first either, but it’s true!
Great work, folks.
Posted by The Hook | November 21, 2012, 13:32Yay heaven! I hope it’s full of long johns. Thanks Hook, I know I can always count on you for encouragement and support.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 13:34The Hook,
I’m looking forward to pass a bit of time on your blog(s). You’ve been quite supportive, and I owe you a few visits.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | November 21, 2012, 13:53Thanks Becca, And prostates around the world thank you as well…but not in the “back-end” as Le Clown cleverly stated…(impossible to resist)
Seriously, you’re amazing. Thank you!
Posted by SocietyRed | November 21, 2012, 13:56I would be terrified to prison shower with Le Clown. Lol. Back at you John!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 14:12But he is pretty…he told me so…
Posted by SocietyRed | November 21, 2012, 14:17This is true…
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 14:20Red,
Back-end… Right? I thought I was clever.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | November 21, 2012, 14:27Very clever Le Clown,
It’s teamwork that makes the world go round.
Quoting my brother-in-law (he yells this out every single time he drops me off at the airport) “Thanks for spooning me last night brother!” Sick lovable fuck.
Red
Posted by SocietyRed | November 21, 2012, 14:39That’s hilarious. I like your brother.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 14:44Becca is my hero AGAIN. Not many girls can rock a mustache, but you make it work.
Posted by calahan | November 21, 2012, 14:57Stop being such an attractive person Mike. Just kidding, please don’t.
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 15:03Being an attractive person is not something I get accused of, often. So,… thanks.
Posted by calahan | November 21, 2012, 18:24Congratulations on a job well done to everyone involved.
Posted by Michelle Gillies | November 21, 2012, 16:02Thank you for that Michelle. Nice to find my way to your blog as well. Mo on!
Posted by becca3416 | November 21, 2012, 16:10My ‘stache:

Posted by Lyssapants | November 21, 2012, 17:46That is awesome.
Posted by Soul Walker | November 22, 2012, 02:53It is beyond awesome. It looks so REAL! How did you do it?
Posted by becca3416 | November 22, 2012, 12:29It does look real… which is impressive.
Posted by Soul Walker | November 22, 2012, 15:32Wonderful recap Becca. Applause to everyone who participated.
Posted by writerwendyreid | November 21, 2012, 17:58Wooo hooo! Thanks!
Posted by becca3416 | November 22, 2012, 12:26i recently told someone the story of why i grew a goatee about ten years ago. was that you? did i already tell the story? if not, let me know. good story.
Posted by rich | November 21, 2012, 23:36Wasn’t me. Tell away. I almost know your whole life story.
Posted by becca3416 | November 22, 2012, 12:28i had been dating someone about two months. she was friendly, funny, and smart, but kind of tomboy looking. athletic too – marathon runner. i was tired of seeing her in baggy jeans constantly and came up with a bad idea to see her dress more feminine. femininly. like a girl. i asked her if there was anything about me, appearance, style of dress, anything she’d like to see that she’d find attractive. oh – forgot to say that at the time i had no facial hair. so she said she thought i’d look cute with a goatee. my plan was to assume she’d ask the same thing, and i’d say i’d like to see her in a dress one day. but i never got that far because it suddenly dawned on me that th reason she wanted me to grown facial hair was so that i was less likely to feel hers when we kissed. up until then, she’d done a good job of getting rid of it. not that day.
Posted by rich | November 22, 2012, 23:13Rich, I think I saw this woman in a Quiznos down the bayou.
Posted by becca3416 | November 26, 2012, 09:40That Jackstache is sexy.
Posted by Jen and Tonic | November 22, 2012, 17:11I still have it on.
Posted by becca3416 | November 26, 2012, 09:40Becca: Help me! I need someone to take Le Clown’s moustache hair off me. I’m terrified by the thought of finding it in my mailbox…. (So glad you went with the cat fur option, by the way. My cat saw the pictures and immediately fled the premises.)
Posted by Deliberately Delicious | November 25, 2012, 20:22I am allergic to clown hair! Cat hair only please.
Posted by becca3416 | November 26, 2012, 09:31Shoot! I was counting on you.
Posted by Deliberately Delicious | November 26, 2012, 10:25Great recap, Becca! And congratulations! Love to you both! xo
Posted by Julia Kovach | December 5, 2012, 05:35Thank you Julia!
