One of the really fun and rewarding things Dull Men like to do on weekends is
drive around looking for hidden driveways.

When we find one, we go look for the owner to tell them we've found
their driveway.

September is also:

Emma M. Nutt Day — September 1

Bald is Beautiful Convention — September 11-13

it be Lesshead?

Events to Avoid

Wisconsin State Cow-Chip Throw — September 4

Featuring a Cow Chip Throwing Contest, 5K and 10K Runs, Arts and Crafts
Fair, and a Parade. But the Cow Pie Eating Contest is too much for us –
gross, in fact.

Be Late for Something Day — September 5

Sponsored by the Procrastinators Club of America. Not for us – dull men like
to be on time.

Watermelon Seed-Spitting and Speed-Eating Championship — September 12-13

The speed eating is okay for us, but the seed-spitting . . . not as gross as Cow
Pie Eating . . . but nonetheless gross enough to merit an “Avoid” warning from
the DMC.
