As noted in the comments, it was surprisingly difficult to find inspiration every day in such an uninspiring patch of fur. Thanks to those who encouraged, educated or challenged me on the way. I'm going to miss the morning ritual, even if I'm glad the mo has finally gone. (Yes, not even Zappa Plays Zappa tonight could keep the clippers away...)

Thanks to everyone for supporting me through the month of Movember. You've been very generous, and very patient with all the extra-follicular activities.

My sponsors donated $1499 out of over $10 million in Australia alone, which is an amazing achievement and a big step forward for men's health.

Alas, I fear my efforts at haiku probably weren't such a big advance for poetry, but I had fun with it, and it certainly made for having an itchy upper lip.

Wonderful work, dear friends. Kudos!

spare a thought for this
upper lip caterpillar
sadly endangered

( Mo below the cut. )
29th-Nov-2007 08:30 am - International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
Hairiness isn't
quite the same as godliness--
unless you're Jesus*.

* Who was born in what we call, today, Palestine, and is listed as a "notable past resident" on Wikipedia.**

** Assuming he ever existed, of course.

My grassy grin says
More clearly than anything:
The end is near LOL

( LOLmo below the cut. )
27th-Nov-2007 06:22 pm - a plethora of follicles
Mexican bandits
have cornered the mo market.
Bigote bigots!
26th-Nov-2007 09:44 am - Nature, Inc.
whirring cicadas
electrical, uncaring
(of me and my mo)
25th-Nov-2007 07:20 am - International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
"KO yo' ho's mo!"
You'd better be joking, bro.
It isn't on, no.
24th-Nov-2007 09:02 am - I haz a vote. A vote, I haz it.
Ah, the double-edged
razor of democracy.
