"Oh my god, you have a mustache."
Keep in mind, we have seen eachother everyday since Movember began. This moment just confirms that my mo is maturing. This also means (hopefully) my step father-in-law, Barney, may stop referring to my mo as my "third eyebrow" but I doubt it. Barney has decided in solidarity to grow a mo of his own which is pretty bad ass. As soon as I have my hands on a picture of him, I will be posting it as well.
My brother (Alex) posted a pic of his mo on FB today and I'm pretty sure he's using some MED's or mustache enhancing drugs. Either that or he started growing it a little early. It's looking pretty sick after only one week. So sick in fact I won't be posting a pic here out of mustache insecurity. After the IMC committee has a chance investigate and determine the legitimacy of his mo, I may post a pic. We'll see.

Historical Facts(ish) for the day:
"... As this somewhat sad, mustache-free culture moved into the early 1960s, peace-loving beatniks high on acid and Colt 45 revolted against varying policies and acts of military aggression from the U.S. government. Hippies began randomly copulating in public spaces, and round-house kicks to the necks of midgets, large animal masturbation, and facial hair growth in the form of lower nose gardens were used as tools to rebel.
Thus, U.S. citizens began to rediscover the sexually dynamic Mustached American lifestyle. Americans began to again wear lower nose accoutrements in great numbers. Indeed, “Labia Sebuculans” (direct translation: “Lip Sweater Wearers”) were returned to their rightful place in the U.S. hierarchy..."

Health Facts for the Day: Signs and Tests
Prostate biopsy is the only test that can confirm the diagnosis. Tissue from the prostate is viewed underneath a microscope. Biopsy results are reported using something called a Gleason grade and a Gleason score.
The Gleason grade is how aggressive the prostate cancer might be. It grades tumors on a scale of 1 - 5, based on how different from normal tissue the cells are.
Often, more than one Gleason grade is present within the same tissue sample. The Gleason grade is therefore used to create a Gleason score by adding the two most predominant grades together (a scale of 2 - 10). The higher the Gleason score, the more likely the cancer is to have spread beyond the prostate gland:
- Scores 2 - 4: Low-grade cancer
- Scores 5 - 7: Intermediate- (or in the middle-) grade cancer. Most prostate cancers fall into this category.
- Scores 8 - 10: High-grade cancer (poorly-differentiated cells)
- Your PSA blood test is high. See also: PSA
- A rectal exam may show a large prostate or a hard, irregular surface. Because of PSA testing, prostate cancer is diagnosed during a rectal exam much less often.
The following tests may be done to determine whether the cancer has spread:

Mike Ditka More often pictured in a Chicago Bears sweater harking back to his coaching days, this photo just shows how much range Ditka's mo has. Striking, really. Enjoy |
