Frequenters of the internets will have seen that casting for “Captain America: The First Avenger” has been a big news item over the past week or two.

Dr. Skip Funsington, MD, the alter ego of the formerly-mustachioed Matthew Lubicky, will be competing in a celebrity ping pong tournament to benefit the New York City tutoring organization 826NYC. It’s a worthy cause that will benefit many kids—think about donating.

For an entire month, this blog was committed to little more than posting pictures of moustaches in order to help raise funds that would go on to aid the fight against cancer. Matthew Lubicky and I, under the auspicious name of “The Venerable Gentlemen…FROM SPACE!,” raised a grand total of $1,127.92 to help benefit men’s cancer research and raise awareness about men’s health.
