Great idea. I’m curious to see how this works. I have signed up:

When major films get released, film studios make millions of dollars. Why? Because they raise the money, so they reap the rewards.

But what if you took studios out of the equation? What if you replaced them with the crowd? What if crowdfunded filmmaking could reward the crowds instead of making studio moguls richer?

This is the Biracy Project.

The mo’ grows. It’s coming in pretty good now.

I think I am starting to look a little like angry Ned Flanders from this Simpsons clip:OK. So Ned really does have quite the mo’. I have a way to go to catch him.

Before I forget, like I did last night (I was frazzled from our cat’astrophe) here’s the reason I am growing a caterpillar on my lip:

As today is the 12th day of Movember here’s some 70’s style p0rn music from Sesame Street to teach you how to count from one to twelve (and numbers in between):

I don’t feel like writing much tonight. I am tired and frazzled from dealing with the cat stuff. Ugh. Have a good night.

He’s back — cone around the neck, multiple stitches on the belly, pain patch on the side, bandage on the front leg. Franken-kitty lives!

My cat ate some yarn and needed surgery today (you can read more here). So, I am mo’ping as seen in evidence in the picture below taken by mo’tographer Carol.

I didn’t shave the rest of the crud off my face today, but as you can see we’re growing again. I am kind of pooped out so I am not going to write a lot tonight. I do, however, have a little something up my sleeve (that is punnier than you know right now) about a Movember giveaway thanks to an email I got today from a mysterious man named Rory. More shall be revealed, if things work out.

Until then, here’s today’s Mo’ video. One of my favorite mo’ wearers. It’s Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) in Anchorman. He’s kind of a big deal:

They’re still not sure what’s wrong. They have to email the xrays to Texas and do bloodwork. Emergency pet care sure is expensive. We are over $700 already and we’re just getting started. Ugh.

I am listening to Led Zeppelin IV while I write this post, so, being under the influence of satanic 70’s rock and roll I cannot be held responsible for what you might see.

First my daily mo’gress photo, by Carol Browne, my official mo’tographer:

The mo’s looking much better today. I think the spirit of Magnum sprinkled Rogaine on my lip in my sleep. Thank Magnum!

In the original you could see my closed eyes, protecting myself from the flash, but it made me look like a corpse so I cropped them out. Believe me it’s much better this way. Carol said she liked my pretty eyelashes. Being the macho man I am, having your wife tell you that you have pretty eyelashes is emasculating enough without the 3 people who read these posts seeing them too, so good bye.

Before I go off on a rant here’s the reason I am cultivating a porn ‘stache:

Thanks to Arnie G for today’s donation to Movember.

I have determined that after Movember is over I am going to keep the 70’s look going afterward and perhaps grow a beard and get me a blue hooded jumpsuit and a chunky gold bracelet like this badass:

I especially like the fit in the crotch. My slightly overweight frame should fill one of those out nicely. Look out ladies!

Speaking of bodies and macho men, here’s today’s video. You knew this was coming eventually. I am surprised I held off this long:

This kid’s bike sucks. I had one with spring shocks and a plastic gas tank.
