The Hairy Lip Club

We have entered the month of Movember. That is not a typo. "Movember" is what this month has been renamed, to launch a national moustache-growing event. The intention is to raise awareness and funds for male health issues, primarily prostate cancer.

Men across the country have donated their upper lips for the cause. The most popular moustache styles are, in ascending bristly order: the Harold Macmillan, the Yosemite Sam, and the Salvador Dali. The Errol Flynn and Teddy Roosevelt did not make the cut.   

In other news, the BC Lions meet the Montreal Alouettes Saturday in what promises to be one of the most exciting games of the CFL season. If the Lions club once again blacks out TCN coverage, fans plan to show their appreciation by pouring hot fudge through the roof of BC Place.

And in Greece, Georges Papandreo, the big sagonaki, announced a referendum on the nation's financial issues. Voters will be asked if they approve a plan to cut wages, lay off workers, reduce benefits, and raise taxes. Watch for Mr. Papandreo soon to be running a curbside souvlaki stand.  

And now, prepare to celebrate Movember--grow a moustache! (Not you, madam.)
