I know someone who, having missed the boat for Movember, has opted to joint the Decembeard spin-off.
Every day he has taken a picture to chart the growth and posted it on facebook, accompanied by a long plea for donations with stories about people close to him dying from bowel cancer, written in that overly heartfelt manner that is usually reserved for X factor contestants.

How he could know that many people with bowel cancer without being an Oncologist or sales representative for Tena lady, I don't know, but every day he has posted these pictures without there being any progress to actually see. It has now been seven days without even so much as a five o'clock shadow appearing.

He means well, but the unintentional fail that he is experiencing so far is causing me great mirth. I saw him this morning, still looking like his face has been freshly waxed rather than shaven. He is that devoid of any facial hair.

I just hope it's performance anxiety on his part, as everyone he is related to or close friends with appears to be counting on him.

Maybe he cannot grow a beard because he has bowel cancer?
Like all his mates?

Maybe he's getting into the spirit of it by grooming his recto-pubic hair.
