Movember: Mo' madness

Well, here we are - 4 days out from the inevitable shave-off.

It's been an emotional month so far for the boys and their increasingly sexy moustaches, but the end is in sight. We've seen a lot of mo's out there in the local community, and we're very impressed at the effort some of the lads have gone to.

There's been everything from the traditional 'senior sergeant' look, right through to the downright creepy 'Joker grin' (pictured). Why I chose this design is beyond me, but you've got to try everything once, right?

It's amazing the amount of notoriety a little bit of facial hair can achieve for its owner in such a short period.

It's not so bad when people cross the road to avoid the potentially homeless person walking towards them, but when I found a little bit of breakfast hiding in the mo this morning that was the last straw.

Bring on November 30th! - Steve Ramsay

 

Apostrophes and mo's

Apostrophes are used to indicate letters left out, such as ustache from moustaches and o from didn't. When words become common enough in their abbreviated form the full stop or apostrophe that show it's a shortened word (Dr. Reg.) tend to get dropped, with some interesting exceptions such as fo'c'sle which has gone as far as fo'castle but looks as if it's going to stay that way.

What a (not a) mo

I'm sorry, but from the picture of your self-confessed "creepy" new look, there's no way you could be bothered by food in your mo - it's non-existent. Also, apostrophes do not denote plurals (as in "mo's").
