MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: MOVEMBER IS HERE. BE TENDER WITH THE BALL.
Our mustache of the day goes out in part to suspended ESPN announcer Brian Kinchen, who dared to suggest that if a man was tender and caring with "the football(s)", then he might be gay. In our tribute to his unfair suspension, we actually mean to disagree: every man needs to be tender with his balls this month, since it's Movember, a.k.a. testicular cancer awareness month in Australia and New Zealand. (HT: Danny Ford Is God.)
The public health campaign has fixated on bringing its message of testicular awareness in a fun and cheap fashion: by encouraging men to grow a 'mo', or mustache. Grow it the whole month, since it'll make your balls healthy or something. Since we're in favor of anything that keeps our balls happy and healthy, we award the entire continent of Australia the honor of being our Mustache of the Day for Mustache Wednesday.

A bonzer Mustache Wednesday to you, motherfuckers! Who says you can't learn anything at Outback Steakhouse!

I learned that New Zealand is not actually part of Australia, sporty though it looks with the Wednesday stache.

A vegemite mustache sandwich sounds good right now.

Hokie, consider them lagniappe, since it’s Movember in both places.

Apparently, encouraging mustache growth isn’t the only thing going on down under to encourage masculinity:

A true story of the power of Mustache Wednesday.
Today I was wearing my EDSBS Flaming Couch Ringer shirt (because I am slightly emo). I was getting sworn into the Law College Council as a Board Member, and one of the other people being sworn in sees my shirt, turns to me and says “Happy Mustache Wednesday”
That’s right, EDSBS readers are taking over Florida Law …and soon: the world

Good to see Orson has left his kinder, gentler ‘Project Runway’ alter ego back in October and brought back the profanity to ’stache Wednesdays.
Btw, did anyone see the Fresno State promotional ad during the game vs Boise State tonight? That sucker deserves the EDSBS treatment.

The Orgeron has heard the song, and he says he is pleased. However, for causing the O-Spawn to laugh at their father, all who have heard the song will now feel his wrath. And Chris Vernon will disappear, with various bits of his body being mailed to his family over the next 10 years. Beware. You have been warned. Quote from yesterday’s press conference:
In a bit of levity, Orgeron finally spoke about the now famous ‘Coach O’ song from Memphis sports radio host Chris Vernon.
“My sons were listening to it, I didn’t know anything about it, they were upstairs hooting and hollering, I asked them “What are you doing?” and they said “Dad you’ve got to hear this,” Orgeron said. “I thought it was kind of funny. It got a lot of laughs, I have no problem with that sort of stuff, it’s all part of football.”

Geaux Irish,
I saw that. That was horrible! Boisie State’s was pretty terrible as well. When the whole promotion of your school is based off the blue turff, your school has no academic merit.

Boise st. has no academic merit. So I am not suprised they tout themselves on that hideous piece of bad taste known as ‘smurf turf’. I was a fan of Gragomel anyway. Who doesn’t like sad, incompetent, homosexual wizards, that live alone with a cat?

Odell, the best thing about the Smurf Turf ad was that as they went down the field from one end zone to the other, they stopped at the 5 yard line. Is it me, or if you’re going to use football as your backdrop shouldn’t you at least score as opposed to being stalled at the 5 yard line??

I think you’re all looking at that Fresno State ad the wrong way… it said to me, sure, our football team composed of borderline criminal at-risk youth is falling apart, but look! We have curvy brunettes who make wine! Lots and lots of wine! Come to Fresno State and get the hook-up and your effete drink on – for credits!

if that’s the portrayal they were going for, then you would have to drink lots and lots of wine before you’d want to hookup with that brunette.

You’d have to drink even more to think that living in Fresno was a good idea. I’m thinking maybe a bottle for the girl, a lifetime of wretched drunkenness for the city.

There is an old saying, friends don’t let friends live in Fresno.
