Bizarre Holidays! Part 4!

Because today is "Just Because Day," here's another installment of Bizarre Holidays!

Today, August 27th, is Global Forgiveness Day. As in, forgive me for writing another one of these blog posts.

Tomorrow, August 28th, is Crackers over the keyboard Day. Why the 29th is not Clean Your Keyboard Day is beyond me. But at least we have the 30th, which is National Marshmallow Toasting Day. Man, I haven't done that in quite a while.

To finish off the month, we have Love Litigating Lawyers Day on the 31st. This is also known to no one as "L-literation Day."

Well, folks, that's all I have for today. Tune in next time, whenever that is.

Bizarre Holidays! Part 3!

Hey, we're back with another installment of Bizarre Holidays!

In case you missed "Bring your child to work day" a few weeks ago, you have another chance to do something like it.  Monday the 29th is "Please take me children to work day."  Actually, now that I think of it, I don't think it's the same thing at all..

I'm not sure what the origin of this one is, but the 30th is Meteor Day.  Take cover in your fallout shelter.  You do have a fallout shelter, right?

For all you Canadians out there, July 1 is Canada Day. I have no idea what that means, but I'm sure Wikipedia does.

Boy, is 2009 going fast.  I still write "2008" by accident now and then.  But nothing serves to reinforce how fast it's going like this Tuesday, which is "Second half of the year day."

Wednesday is the perfect day for those with amnesia or senility.  That's right, folks, July 2 is "I Forgot Day."  Just... don't be celebrating that one when you get called into your boss's office.

My favorite holiday of the week is July 6, "Take your webmaster to lunch day."  I guess I'll be taking myself to lunch. How fitting, then, that July 6 is also National Fried Chicken Day.

See you next time!

Bizarre Holidays! Part 2!

Okay guys, it's back.  Bizarre Holidays!

Tomorrow, June 22, is National Chocolate Eclairs Day.  I am totally getting up early to eat some donuts before (or at) work.  It's also Stupid Guy Thing Day.  Hey, none of my guy things are stupid.

Tuesday the 23rd is National Columnists Day and Take Your Dog to Work Day!

The 25th is National Handshake Day.  Shake someone's hand.  Just don't forget to wash your own.

Friday the 26th is Forgiveness Day.  So be the better person and forgive someone this week.

After bestowing the forgiveness, celebrate Decide to be Married Day on the 27th.

See you next time!
