Nov. 2 Men Make Dinner Day Uh-oh. What exactly is a bro supposed to slap together on this short of notice? Deviled Eggs Day Yeahhh. Boil ’em up, dude. (Thinkstock)
Nov. 3 Sandwich Day Nov. 3, 1793, marks the birth of one Wayne Sandwich in Pocatello, Idaho. Historians allege Wayne was too squeamish to touch cold cuts with his bare hands.

Nov. 5 Zero Tasking Day According to , 鈥淭he unofficial holiday encourages people to take it easy, give up multitasking for a day and well, do no tasks.鈥� It鈥檚 a Sunday, so you should be golden, unless you鈥檙e wearing burgundy and gold. (The Seahawks await in Seattle.) That goes for you, too, Wizards: You have business in Toronto. (Thinkstock)
Nov. 8 Tongue Twister Day No, it doesn鈥檛 celebrate something banned by the Geneva Convention. It鈥檚 a phrase that is difficult to say quickly. (One example is that existential question about woodchucks鈥� wood-chucking ability.) Celebrate with one that incorporates R-rated language, then giggle amongst yourselves. (AP)

Nov. 13 World Kindness Day Ahhh. This is more like it. Sure, being nice can feel like the hardest thing in the world some days.

Now pipe down so the rest of us can get some work done. (AP Photo/Mary Schwalm)

Nov. 30 Computer Security Day The I.T. department just informed me that e-cards are, in fact,聽not great 鈥� because . (Thanks for raining on that parade, guys.) Today鈥檚 the day we listen to I.T. and face some cold realities: No, that鈥檚 not an E-card. No, that鈥檚 not a Nigerian prince propositioning you. And no, you haven鈥檛 inherited $31 million from a 鈥淣ew York City celebrity.鈥� (Thinkstock)
WASHINGTON 鈥� Good grief. How much candy did you eat last night?
There are at least a dozen wrappers on the floor 鈥� and you ate ALL the 100 Grands? Oh heck no.

It鈥檚 also

And let鈥檚 not forget about
