Remember, remember, the 5th of Movember!

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is that time of year again.

Long before I was born, there was a time when men could do what they liked.  It was a time where no permissions were needed to go about one's own business.  It was a time when taking care of yourself as a man did not mean getting a manicure and pedicure.  It was a time when scratching yourself, spitting on the ground, and being vulgar was not only expected, but respected!  It was a time when men can guiltlessly sport a look that has long been frowned upon.  That time was the glory days of the MOUSTACHE!

When you stumble upon some Moustache-clad Montrealers, you find yourself encountering the Moustrealers.  That's right, a simple combination of Moustache + Montrealers = Moustrealers.
