A Movember -- or Row-vember -- veritable Murderers' Row

My 15-year-old daughter cracks me up on a regular basis. She had this observation the other morning on Movember:

"It's great they're raising money and everything. But couldn't they find a way that doesn't make people look so creepy."

I must admit after going out to see the Canadian rowers on Thursday at the RBC National Rowing Championships in Welland, Ont., that the kid has got a point.

Canada's rowers are great sports as evidenced by the fun had recently with that top 20 list of the world's hottest rowers. Check out the members of their Row-vember unit:

In the leadoff spot we've got Rob Gibson of Kingston looking like he's concentrating on growing that thing a bit thicker ...

DSCN4196

Won't find a nicer guy than Olympic gold medallist Kevin Light -- his wife Zoe is counting down the days to Dec. 1. And she wants that tea cozy back ...

DSCN4192

Not sure what Olympic gold medallist Malcolm Howard is looking so pleased about ...

DSCN4193

Conlin McCabe. Turns out the team's man child can grow a stache ... He was No. 19 on the top 20 hottest male rowers list -- and he's dropping like a rock.

DSCN4195

Derek O'Farrell ... don't know him well enough to make fun. Obviously a courageous guy, though. (And apologies for calling you Colin in the original posting)
