Last month we announced a stache contest for lawyers as part of the annual Movember movement that raises money for prostate cancer research and men’s health. We offered to donate $100 to the cause for the best lawyer staches we got. After reviewing the entries, the winner is . . . .

Last call for submitting to Bitter Lawyer’s stache contest, where the best moustache on a lawyer (or law student) gets $100 donated in the person’s name to the cause of eliminating prostate cancer. Don’t have a William Howard Taft or even a Bobby Segall? Just Photoshop a moustache if you have to. We’re Bitter Lawyer, for crissakes. Except for booze and writing, we have pretty low standards.
So, if you’re already rocking a stache, have a Photoshopped version of moi with a mo, or you are growing a moustache for Movember, send us a picture and info at email@bitterlawyer.com. We’ll review the submissions and anoint an overall winner, based on how original, impressive, or fashionable the stache. We’ll then donate $100 toward the cause of eliminating prostate cancer, either to your existing Movember account or in your own name. So, send in your submission. And keep on mowing.

If you didn’t know it already, November is also short for Movember. Or Novembeard. Or No Shave November. It’s that time of the year when lawyers have an excuse to try for that George Clooney BigLaw beard. All for good. Over at Movember.com, folks are growing their best mos and raising money for prostate cancer in the process.
And we’d like to help. If you are already rocking a stache or growing one for Movember, send us a picture and info at email@bitterlawyer.com. Toward the end of the month we’ll review the submissions and annoint an overall winner, based on how original, impressive, or fashionable the stache (we’re pretty loose with our standards). Plus, we’ll donate $100 toward the cause of eliminating prostate cancer, either to your existing Movember account or in your own name. So, send in your submission. And keep on growing.
When we got into the legal humor business to reinvigorate Bitter Lawyer a few months back, we knew we had to bring original video content to the site. Hell, Living the Dream was a common refrain from commenters, even if the comment had nothing to do with the specific BL post. It became almost like yelling “Freebird” at a CLE seminar, and for good reason. Living the Dream is great.
Which is why we are excited to premiere the Bottom Rung, a new original web series created by comedian, actor, and former lawyer Matt Ritter. Bottom Rung will premiere next week here on Bitter Lawyer. We’ll be posting an interview with Matt shortly, in which he’ll talk about the new series, what it’s about, and what to expect during the season. In between episodes, which currently number about eight, we’ll also post sketches of the regular characters. So, stay tuned. Your chanting of Freebird will soon pay off.
Over at Above the Law, columnists Elie Mystal and Staci Zaretsky have been downright hostile toward folks involved in the protests known as Occupy Wall Street, which seems to be slowly and steadily developing into a real movement. CNN reports today that more unions are joining the protests and that efforts are underway for other “Occupy” cities and for a Global Day of Action. But at Above the Law, generally the most trafficked legal blog in the country, Mistal and Zaretsky have dismissed the protests as “ludicrous,” “barely newsworthy,” made up of “hippies and kids,” “fools,” and “crazies.” Fair enough. But that’s also what Fox News likes to call poor folks who are out to make some pretty salient points about the extraordinary gap between the “one percent” and the “other 99 percent.“
