  • Moidoid's Movember Madness!!!

    November is fast approaching but as many of you in the UK will know it has become increasingly fashionable for gentlemen to attempt to grow mighty moustaches in that month - although the end results often end up looking more like a barber's floorsweepings than a fine Wing-Commander.

    This year I have succumbed to the challenge and have no doubt I will end up humiliating myself for Movember - but it's all in a good cause. Movember raises funds and awareness for men's health - particularly cancers of the unmentionables () - and you can find out more about it here: http://uk.movember.com/about/

    My motivation to do this is because my Dad died very quickly this year from one of these shitty illnesses so I wanted to do something about it.

    And what better way of getting you to part with your cash than by luring you with the promise of fine Cuban cigars.


    Welcome to MOIDOID's MOVEMBER MADNESS!!!

    Rules are pretty simple,

    There will be a first round to sort out the wheat from the chaff - closing date 15th Movember - and then a second round which will end on Movember the 30th.

    Each entry must be linked to a donation to here: https://www.movember.com/uk/donate/p...team_id/426685
    You can donate as much or as little as you like- just PM me with the name you donated under and your entry.

    If you get the right answer to the question in round 1 you get into round 2 and a chance to win the luvverly prizes. Gentlemen who question Mr Moidoid's decisions will be asked to remove any facial hair and leave the competition.

    PRIZES:

    There will be a first prize, a second prize and a third prize and the winner gets to choose which group of cigars he/she wants, then the second prize winner etc.

    Cigars are:

    The Edicion Limitadas


    The Prominentes


    The Rather Special Cigars



    Round 1 will be up later this evening - Good Luck!

        Great idea! I'm definitely up for this.
        If you want a midget to look like a baby, don't put a cigar in his mouth.

          Great idea and welcome back, sorry to hear about your father. I wish I could take part but I can't grow a moustache!

            Okay, here we go...


            Round One

            Absolutely no talent required, just tell me how many references to smoking and Cuban cigars there are in the following lost relic of the Conquistadors. That I wrote.
            Some of you old lags may recognize it...



            The Ballad of Rafa Gonzales


            In the days of the great King Juan Lopez
            and the Knights of the Bolivar line,
            the treasures of the Don Montecristo
            lay heavy upon regal mind.

            A great craft was cast on the ocean,
            a clipper of the Vegueros class
            to seek and torch all before it
            before the glory of Cubana was past.

            This great ship we called Lusitania
            as a match to our Iberian home
            Four and eighty tough sports were upon her
            and for a year and a day we did roam.

            We sang songs to each other by night-time
            and worked til we bled in the day
            shouting sharp to the shark and the orca
            and loud Ahoyo! to manta ray.

            Out from the blue on the roughest of seas
            came a punch that did shatter our hull
            'Up,man! sharpen the lanceros,
            let only their bones make them dull!'

            The fight blazed all day without mercy
            'til a sight made us stagger and moan
            for there on the foc'sle, all bloodied,
            lay our great Captain Ramon, alone.

            Leading a troop of Robustos
            we battered our way to his side
            and whilst offering our prayers and our fealty
            to Saint Luis Rey, he died.

            Our ship crept on wounded and listless
            and found port at the Quai D'Orsay.
            We sang out the Guantanamera
            and shed tears for the man we'd obeyed.

            We sailed from islet to inlet
            accepting what we'd been cast,
            bubbling the smoke of cohibas
            through brandy and one part a' gas.

            Our treasure, it never did find us
            but our ensign it never was furled,
            and whatever my hopes when I left it,
            I went home as the King of the World.

            I went home as the King of the World.

              A little clarification please:
              Is a reference counted as single word or group of words.

              For example 'King Juan Lopez' could be:
              3 - King for King Edwards, Juan for Jaun Lopez, and Lopez for Juan Lopez.
              2 - King for King Edwards and Jaun Lopez, for Juan Lopez.
              2 - Juan and Lopez for Juan Lopez
              1 - Juan Lopez for Juan Lopez.

              ...a little help please

                Hey, I'm not that sneaky! Juan Lopez would count as 1 reference. You can have that one for free. I reckon that all references are not too tricksy.

                    Sorry for the delay in responses - in the wilds for a week! I suspect I may need to go for something Mexican Stevie, perhaps developing into a Xanadu era Peart!

                      Since having a break from work I'm developing the Scruffy Git design much favored by backwoodsmen & those with no sense of style....

                      or a razor.....

                          Back from the wilds of the Forest of Dean slightly more bruised and very well fed.

                          The 'tache was intended to be a bit of a Lemmy but looks like something Dickensian a la Amos Brearley. I suspect the sideburn join is against the rules so I shall soon be converting it to a droopy trucker when there is a bit more growth.

                          Ten days to go for entries to the compo and a chance to win some rather nice smokes. it doesn't matter how much you donate - any amount for an entry.
