Facial Hair for He Who Cannot Grow Facial Hair

A bunch of guys at work have decided to do a moustache day for prostate cancer awareness next month. They all walk around with their full beards, with excellent 'staches waiting in the wings. Then there is me, who would be hard pressed to have the manliest face in a seventh grade classroom. I don't want to be left out, and it gives me an excuse to look like an idiot for a while.
I usually shave off whatever grows every 2-3 days, so I have never seen what it looks like after a few weeks of growth. It comes in extremely patchy with most growth under my chin and down my neck a bit. I have two little patches on the outsides of my upper lip, with hardly any growth in the middle. I have until mid-November to grow whatever moustache I can, so I would like to leave it and see what it looks like by moustache day.
This of course leaves the rest of my patchy face looking pretty awful, and I would rather not repulse every single woman I come across in the month of November. Are there any ways to shave my face that would not look absolutely terrible? At the moment, I have my entire face clean shaven minus the pseudo-stache and the patch on my chin (I shaved up my neck to reduce neck-beard syndrome). Acceptable? Or should I just go all out with the No-Shave November theme?

Alternately, come in on Nov. 30 with a gigantic fake handlebar mustache.
I would keep shaving then wear a fake 'stache on the day like Torak suggested. Or maybe buy a few dozen fake mustaches, clip most of the hair off of each, and then wear them progressively as if they were growing out.
I wouldn't want to be a girl! They have cooties.
Do it!
Check these styles, my girlfriend says I look beautiful and manly with something like this:

Unless you're going for the evil scientist look, avoid this.
Go moustache only. If you can't grow decent facial hair, don't try. There's no saving the patchy look.
Fantasma, I think you are greatly overestimating my ability to grow facial hair. Those styles require at least 250% more manliness growth units (MGUs) than I currently possess.
MegaMan, I was thinking that might be an option. Go for the "Aw, he's so ugly, but how thoughtful" points.
You aren't alone. I'm 33 and I still can't grow decent facial hair (not that I want to). Strange that my dad could though. Probably the Native American ancestry on my mom's said screwing with things.
It's like on jersey shore when vinnie dances with the fat girls in the club- he's just doing it because it looks funny
be in on the joke is what I am getting at
Ya I would totally suggest you guys do Movember. Make a team for your office and see how much money you can raise. You start off November 1st clean shaven (preexisting mustaches are cheating!) and just shave everywhere everyday except your upper lip. When you get people asking why you have a weird failed porno-stache, tell them why and ask for a donation/sponsorship. Good fun all around and raising funds is infinitely better than raising awareness, this does both!
If you can't convince those babies to do Movember with you, shame them as you go. If you need motivation to push for more sponsors, The Art of Manliness is giving away a nice saddleback kit with some shaving gear to their highest contributor.
