And what a manly Movember it has been. From time spent traveling around Iceland seeking the best beards, sampling the manliest food on the planet, to Manly buckets lists, one written by a woman, it has been a month that Indiana Jones and Hulk Hogan would surely endorse.

To cap it off, and to settle some Facebook-smack chat, we are hosting a duel:

I am squaring off with AIM To Travel’s Josh Brownlee to settle a manly disagreement about who had better facial hair. Since we are both democratic gentlemen, we are putting it to our readers to decide this facial hair contest. As the picture at the top indicates, Travel. Write. Sing. is the clear winner. Josh from AIM To Travel, with all due respect, your submission shows an utter disregard for bringing awareness to prostate cancer. Here we are, Movember, and you are not even sporting a mustache? How will your grandchildren remember you?

Poor form Josh.

I, on the other hand, have selflessly shaved a handle bar mustache, which means, women have stopped acknowledging I exist. I’m taking one for the team with this, and sticking it to prostate cancer. (If this confuses you, then perhaps you haven’t heard, Movember began as a way to raise awareness of men’s issues like prostate cancer and Indiana Jones).

Since talking to women used to take up most of my time, I have used my newfound free time volunteering with dogs, teaching them the finer points of bourbon and cigars.

On Friday, 12/6, a day that will live in infamy, we will be tallying the votes up. The loser will have to do two activities that will destroy all remaining self-respect (More on that below).

You can vote here at TravelWriteSing, and at AIM To Travel.

Please, defend all that is holy and vote for TravelWriteSing on both here and AIM To Travel. To sweeten the deal, if I am ahead in vote count come Wednesday, I will release a video of the Icelandic beard choir. It’s a real thing. It will change your life.

You, dear reader, also get to decide what humiliating activity the loser must subject himself to.

The top two voted items below will be implemented. May the beard be with you.
