March 9th, the day the US was invaded by a foreign country (Pancho Villa, et al, sacked Columbus NM and was chased for nine months thereafter by Pershing until the US had to go fight in Europe for a bit).
And, well, the ninth of June, for the mutual oral sex (September Sixth for the rest of the world – might as well celebrate both, just to be safe).
If and when the first day of Spring arrives this year, I’ll be glad to celebrate that.
I would like to see a creativity day, the custom might include setting up your hobbies on your front lawns where neighbors could share thier passions with one another. Cities may choose to dedicate one of their parks to a creative sharing day once a year.
Maybe we could give the president the power to declare a public holiday on the spot once a year for that year only. Every year, folks will be hoping to hear the announcement: “Today is surprise day, folks! The White House announced this morning that folks can take the day off.” Every day, people get a little more hopeful as they know that the odds are getting greater since it has to be used before the end of the year.
Or, we could find the longest stretch of days without a holiday and put one right in the middle. Call it “Relief Day.” No gifts are exchanged, but the tradition is that you have to do something nice for someone. And there has to be some kind of colorful character associated with it.
You mean Sunday. May the Sifth be with you.
I think he means like in fourth, fith, sith.
I’d like a national holiday to celebrate consumerism…say “National Consumer’s Day”. Heck, consumption accounts for a lot of jobs-why not celebrate it?
And why not a national holiday to celebrate the Viking discovery of America? Who needs Columbus?
