IT’S NUTTY NOVEMBER!
Or, in other words, “National Nudnik Month”!
Compiled by Lady Beatrice Blitterlees and edited by Lord Earl
Craboon
November is the 11th month of the calendar year, so what else is
new?
Well for one thing this month features a good many things for
knuckleheads, ninny-hammers, and nudniks to engage in since
their attention spans are usually shorter than the bat of an eye
or a flash in the pan.
They can all take heart from the fact that this month is full of
merry-making for morose mavens and munchkins…after all it’s
only one month away from the biggest gift-giving gala of the
year!
So without further adieu, here’s what’s in store for you to do
to celebrate odd occasions and weird events this month.
November 1 - National Who’s Been Eating My Porridge Day
(For Goldilocks and the three bear types who can’t get their
fill of cream of wheat, oatmeal or bran man!)
November 2 - Are you sure that’s the Road to San Jose
Day? (In honor of all those who despise analogue devices
such as maps, and would rather use their handy-dandy new digital
high-flying GPS gizmo that fits in your pocket, talks, and comes
in 45 colors!)
November 3 - National Grin & Bare It Day (Everyone needs
a lack practice in the art of stoicism and steadfastness
…after all “suck it up” is better than “spit it out”!)
November 4 - Scorpio Awareness Day (Time to spot those
fixed water signs who rule the world of magical matters like
taboos and voodoo…you know the intractable, inscrutable,
impenetrable secretive souls who have things good things going
for them… they have magnetic personalities, are unshockable,
and understand failure…yee haw!)
November 5 - Guy Fawkes Day (The second time this year
you can officially light firecrackers under the seat of any
nosey nemesis or naughty nudnik naturally).
November 6 - One Toy That Should Never Have Been Invented
Day (Okay now it’s time to figure out what tawdry toy you’ve
encountered sometime during your stay on planet earth should
quite frankly never have seen the light of day).
November 7 - Worst Workplace Décor Day (Time to nominate
someone for this prestigious award in your office - prize a
weekend pass to the nearest petting zoo for some pointers from a
bunch of beasts that probably couldn’t care less!)
November 8 - National Tom Thumb Day (So if you were six
inches tall for a day, exactly what would you do besides
twiddling your thumbs for twenty-four hours?)
November 9 - National Animal Crackers Day (A pleasant
alternative to “Girl Guide Cookies” …but everyone must also
share the name of the animal with whom they would share the rest
of their life with if that’s the way the cookie crumbled!)
November 10 - National Ho-Hum Body Part Day (For those
who haven’t a clue what biology’s all about but can tell you all
about the least erotic part of the human body!)
November 11 - Thirteenth Month of the Year Day
(Time-starved individuals should use their imagination to come
up with a name for the thirteenth month, not to mention where
it’s supposed to be inserted in the present calendar if you
please!)
November 12 - National Pick Your Favorite Movie Prop Day
(Is it the Wizard of Oz’s wig, a seagull from “The Birds”, a
shower-stall from an Anthony Perkins thriller?)
November 13 - Gift of Magic Day (Okay you’ve got the
gorgeous-looking genie in a bottle…and he/she pops out and
grants you three wishes…what are they and why?)
November 14 - Nicest Compliment You’ve Ever Received Day
(It’s one of those rare occasions, but check your memory bank
and figure out the nicest compliment you’ve ever received in
your entire life…that you don’t mind sharing with the rest of
humanity).
November 15 - License Plate Appreciation Day (The
government has just informed you that you could have your
license plate say anything at all…what would it be?)
November 16 - Rename Your Family Day (To meet the growing
demand folks who want a new lease on life…it’s now time to
rename each family member…good luck!)
November 17 - Dig That Derriere Day (Forget the
botox…if a fairy godmother dropped by and told you that you
could have anyone else’s gluteus maximus, posh posterior or
tight buns…just who would you choose?)
November 18 - National Lazybones Awareness Day (Okay it’s
payback time for the laziest person you know…if you could pick
one thing that this person would have to do for the rest of
their life - who would it be and what would this individual have
to do?)
November 19 - Three Least Favorite Words Day (This will
definitely appeal to blabbers, blatherskites, and motor-mouths
who will never be short on words!)
November 20 - Goosebump Awareness Day (So pray tell, what
gives you Goosebumps? …and how come no one ever has Goosebumps
on the face?)
November 21 - Computer Modification Day (The folks who
manufacture the best thing since sliced bread come to ask you
what one thing you’d like to see changed on your computer…what
might it be … now think hard all you dweebs and dingbats!)
November 22 - Hardest Position to Play in Sports Day (For
all the sports jocks, couch potatoes, and sideline
critics…what would you say is the most difficult one, c’mon…)
November 22 - Nifty New Appliance Day (Advertisers are
having a field day with a brand new appliance…what’s it called
and exactly what will it do to make life easier?)

for an upcoming contest…the jockstrap of your favorite fantasy
player…hmmm…who might that be and in what sport?)

colleagues at work).

budgets and slow restaurant food service …now you get to
practice it all day long!!!)
