What is it with this time of the year, and nutty ideas to give things up linked to the month. October has been used as a basis to create the completely unnatural word "Stoptober", to encourage people to give up smoking for a month. Excuse me, but I suspect that giving up cigarettes for a month is not quite a straightforward as instigators and advertisers might think. Such a feat, because it happens to be October, will be made rather more difficult if people are expected to participate in the other fad that coincides with it, the suggested "Stay Sober For October". Could we end up with ratty people ready to headbutt you for breathing, who've been deprived of alcohol and nicotine?
Roll on November; BUT, that's when people (usually men!) are expected to let their facial hair grow without restraint or removal. Sadly there are many thousands of men who should NEVER follow this path, who are encouraged to think they might be suited to excess hair. As a result, unsightly faces are touted for November.
As for raising money, well anyone who is not drinking or smoking can put their 'savings' into the charity box, and Im not going to be "Fucked Over In October". And NO, I will not be sponsoring anyone to avoid use of a Bic or Gillette blade in November.
How about eating excessively in June - "Balloon in June" or would it be better to "Moon in June" perhaps?
