#Movember 26 and 27: The Mad Arab and Grinning Goof

by Mike Browne on November 27, 2009

in activity, gratitude

Last night was the Movember Gala Parté at the Fortune Sound Club in the Chinatown district of downtown Vancouver. We were frisked quit thoroughly on the way in. They made me feel like some sort of terrorist. Perhaps it was profiling of some sort.

Not every arab is a terrorist you know.

The ghutra (or keffiyeh) I was sporting is the real deal as Carol used to live in Saudi Arabia. I wish I had a thawb to go along with it to allow the boys to have some air. Good for the prostate.

Movember is going well for our team. Last night, thanks to LG Electronics, our Movember teammate John Biehler won a whopping $5000 to put toward the cause. Here’s a photo that Carol took of him with the novelty cheque.

Very Happy Gilmore. Way to go John. That’s fantastic!

The reason the picture didn’t get posted yesterday is because Carol fell asleep as soon as we got home. She was pooped, so two pictures today.

I start my new gig on Monday. I jumped through all the hoops I had to. I am pretty grinny today.

Here’s my favourite Mo’ wearing Muppet, Lew Zealand singing Goodnight Sardine:

Extremely lame, but that is exactly why I posted it.

Yep. That is very true. It was especially irritating to watch the females nazi go through my wife's bag like she were some sort of criminal. I know there are bad folks afoot, but come on.
