1. NaNoWriMo
aka national novel writing month. You write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. For reference, that's 1,667-ish words per day. As of right now I've written 518. Only two of them are swear words, and one of those other 516 words is 'Spatchcock'. This should give you an idea about how this novel's going to turn out.
2. Movember
I learned about Movember when I was in Australia. In years past, friends of mine had made facebook posts about events such as 'No-shave November' 'Novem-beard', 'facial hair February' and 'manly month of March'. All excuses to grow beards just for the heck of it. Enter Movember, where men grow mustaches to raise awareness of men's health issues. It wasn't so much the idea of a bunch of men growing mustaches for the cause, it was that men in prominent positions like newscasters or cricketers were doing it. It wasn't just a joke, it was a real, legitimate endeavor. Also, it's going to make people think I'm even more of a hipster than I might secretly be.
