In reference to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=453808) thread.

How’s about I reword it as a Worldwide SDMB Get-together and Party Post?

I mean, instead of encouraging the consumption of alcohol, how about something like _take part in a worldwide party?_ Whether alone or in a group, let’s pick a certain day when as many people as possible _get down_ and share their revelry with the rest of us.

Sort of a Pan Galactic Dopefest…where we pick one day to display ourselves to each other in all of our unrestrained (even if alternately-encapabled) glory?

I don’t recall a day when we all just celebrated being Dopers. I’m saying, let’s just us have a bunch of fun being _us!_

Faces may get slapped. Reputations may get ruined. Hampsters may suffer coronaries.

Would that pass scrutiny?

It doesn’t really sound as cool when you call it what it really is: Get Drunk Alone and Sit in Front of the Computer Day.

Why bother allocating a specific day of the week?
