You Must Movember This...

The calendar may say November, but all men able to grow facial hair (and those nervously unable) know that it is Movember--the month when all males beyond the age of twelve are expected to sprout moustaches to support research in aid of men's health issues. And no, guys, that does not include balding.

CFL players may find moustaches more in keeping with their brawny machismo than the pink spats they wore last month to support progress in the defeat of women's cancers, but only a handful of players, led by Eskimo quarterback Mike Reilly, are ahead of the game (that is, the moustache game) with a bushy upper lip already in place.

The question for many men is: what style of 'stache is right for me? Choices range from the pencil line, lounge lizard look perfected by Zachary Scott in "Mildred Pierce" to the wildly untended, shrub-run-amok look of Wilford Brimley and former US UN Ambassador John Bolton.

And for those who have been spending mornings anxiously peering at their upper lips hoping for hirsute action, there is a solution: pick up a jar of stage makeup and paint one on, a la Groucho Marx.

You must Movember this--a 'stache is still a 'stache.
