November
3, 2003
Today is the day to be fabulously dirty.
Today is the first weekday in November, which means, of course, that it's the beginning of NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. Can you write a novel in a month? Can I? Of course, the answer is, hell no. Fortunately, however, in case you can't get on board with NaNoWriMo (even though you should give it a shot), there are plenty of other NaMos for you to enjoy.
December: NaYoYoYoMo. National Yogurt and Yo Yo Month. Walk the dog, sleep, and get more than your daily allowance of live cultures. It's the obvioius way to wrap up 2003.
January: NaNaNaNaNaHeyHeyGoodbyeMo. This is the month to celebrate the career of the band Steam and the joy they have brought to sports fans everywhere.
February: NaLoMeinMo How many Chinese noodles can you eat before the month is out? Make sure to remember that there are only 28 days in this month, so schedule accordingly.
March: NaMo. This is National Month Month. Work hard and celebrate this month all month long.
April: NaNaToFiMo You know that NATO is an important organization that gets mentioned in the news a lot, but you're still not totally sure what it does. This is the month to figure it out..
May: NaSmaPlaMo National Smashing Plates Month. Can you smash 50,000 plates by midnight, November 30th?
June: NaSeMoFoMo Celebrate the work of Prince all month long. See if you can replace the dirty words in his songs with clean ones.
July: NaChoLoMo Everybody loves nachos, and this is the month to show it. Don't burn your tongue!
August: NaDoLoMo This month is on the down low, yo. Keep it that way.
September: NaDaGloMo. Enjoy eighties nostalgia all month long
October: NaPoMoMo National Post Modernist Month. Can
you make it through the entire month of October in a Postmodernist sensibility?
Do you even know what that means? If so, let us know.
