Tomorrow (the 13th) is Jewel Day (as in gems, I assume).

The 15th is "Everything You Think is Wrong" Day.

But the 16th will be "Everything You Do is Right" Day. :S

And the 17th is [b:post_uid0][color=yellow:post_uid0]Submarine[/color:post_uid0][/b:post_uid0] Day.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]All right, now that my last-minute crunch at college is over (?), I can get back to doing these. Unfortunately, it is already too late for such meaningful, exciting days as Save the Rhino Day, National Candied Orange Peel Day, Lost Sock Memorial Day, Limerick Day, and National Dance Like A Chicken Day (which was yesterday, if you don't mind being 24 hours late).

Today (May the 15th) is [b:post_uid0]National Chocolate Chip (http://www-pub.naz.edu:9000/~cakuczek/images/chocolate%20chip%20cookies.jpg) Day[/b:post_uid0]! Mmm-mmm. :)

May 19th will be Frog Jumping (http://is6.pacific.net.hk/~plastics/Capsule_Toys/images/Hundred_Frogs.jpg) Jubilee Day.[/color:post_uid0]

[mudshark]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]^^ I [i:post_uid0]hate[/i:post_uid0] when they compress articles into a column 8 characters wide. :madder:

And Hap-P Birthday, [b:post_uid0]sax[/b:post_uid0]! :) Got one coming up, myself ('cept I don't officially celebrate them anymore. ;) )[/color:post_uid0]

[Saxamaphone]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]:D Thanks everybody - you guys are the best, seriously.

Yes, keen swag indeed - my friend Nate got me a Taoist charm that's supposed to bring good fortune (I'm very much into Eastern philosophy - Western too)

I'm horrible at throwing parties - so we actually ended up, instead of going to the movies last night like we'd planed, we went back over to Nate's and had a movie night - and they got me a cake :D - It was the first time I've ever seen the Evil Dead movies - crazy stuff.

But, back at the ranch - my cousins sent a box full of randomness - very much like themselves to get. T'was great.

My mom also got a DVD player! Whoo! Also very cool.

And last but definitely not least...

A BRAND NEW CAR!

Well, ok - it's been used, probably quite a bit - but it's in excellent condition - '98 White Chevy Lumina - 75,000 miles, Automatic Transmission, 3.1 Liter V6 engine, AC, power locks, but crank down windows (eh, can't have it all).

A very cool couple of days - a very sweet 16.

Thank you all for the warm wishes, kind words, lovely graphics and overall zaniness - as I said before you're all truly the best and as good of friends as I've come to know.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Awww. A new car is cool. I'm asking for wireless internet though. I feel like I need a treat. :)

In fact, tomorrow, the 23rd, is National [color=gray:post_uid0]Vanilla Ice Cream[/color:post_uid0] Month. :)

The 26th is All or Nothing Day. I'm guessing I'm going to end up with the nothing. ;)

Next Sunday, the 27th, marks a return to the Really Weird Holidays Where You Just Have to Ask "Where Did [i:post_uid0]That[/i:post_uid0] Come From? [img:post_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/forums/html/non-cgi/emoticons/eek5.gif[/img:post_uid0]" with [b:post_uid0]Take Your Pants For A Walk Day[/b:post_uid0]. And again I say, "... [img:post_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/forums/html/non-cgi/emoticons/eek5.gif[/img:post_uid0] ?"

Next we enter a string of Wisconsinish holidays, with [color=brown:post_uid0]National Milk Chocolate Day[/color:post_uid0] on the 28th, [color=yellow:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day[/b:post_uid0][/color:post_uid0] on the 29th, and [b:post_uid0]National Cheesecake Day[/b:post_uid0] on the 30th. :D

Parents Day (31st) rounds out the month.


August starts off with [b:post_uid0][color=red:post_uid0]National Raspberry Cream Pie Day[/color:post_uid0][/b:post_uid0] on the 1st. Now who says August doesn't have any major holidays, hmmm? :bigsmile:[/color:post_uid0]

Unfortunately, we've missed out on National Beheading Day on the 2nd. But how are you supposed to celebrate something like [i:post_uid0]that[/i:post_uid0], anyway? :S :suspicious: :O ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Labour Day (optional u) is celebrated in May in the rest of the world. They changed it to September on this continent for two reasons:

1: Spacing. There was no stat holiday in September, and there was already one in May (in Canada at least - Victoria Day. Dunno 'bout the States)>

2: The silly commies kept parading tanks and missiles around on Mayday.[/color:post_uid0]

Today, October 2nd, is [b:post_uid0]Name Your Car Day[/b:post_uid0]. I haven't named my new car, but I gave my old clunky red Celebrity a name. I just forget what it was. :D It wasn't very complimentary, I'm sure of that much. Numerous irritating part failures, a lack of A/C, and an ignition-engine combo that had to be allowed to idle between one and two minutes if you didn't want it to conk out the first time you hit the brakes... :eyeroll:

Tomorrow (the 3rd) is National Virus Appreciation Day.

The 6th (next Monday) is German-American Day, and also Come and Take It Day.

The 7th of October will be National Frappe Day.

We used to have an old, beat-up one (they stopped importing them to Singapore about 15 years ago so at that time the only ones available were about ten years old)... my sis and I called it the "Denterprise", but my parents called it the [i:post_uid0]ti-ka chia[/i:post_uid0], which bascially means "tank" in Hokkien. It was because we once got broadsided by a speeding drunk driver and only damage our car suffered was a dent in one of the side doors because the metal plating was so tough.

We have a Honda Accord 2.3 now that my sis christened "Kathryn"... but my favourite car is still the Toyota Previa we rented when we were in New Zealand... I called it "Aru" because it was part of its number plate. My sis and I took a photo with the car before we returned it... I still have the photo somewhere. Maybe I should upload it...

That sounds like a Lada alright. If on the off-chance you ever meet my uncle, though, I wouldn't mention it to him - he'll only take it as a chance to regale you with other Lada stories deigned to make you see the light and realise what a superior car it is.[/color:post_uid0]

[mudshark]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]^ Isn't it supposed to be more about throwing yourself at the ground and accidentally missing? ;)

(Think you're both right about the turkeys, though. :eyeroll: )[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, it's more of throwing yourself towards the ground from a wayhighup place and waiting for a angel-like higher being to grab you and save you, really...

Whee! I'm flying! Hey, I can see my house from here....[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Today is Sinterklaas eve. :)

:Dresses up as a black guy in a funny clown-like suit and hands out candy:



I think a little explaining is in order. Think of it as christmas, but Sinterklaas has a different hat than Santa, has black people as helpers instead of elves, rides a white horse, which can't fly but walks on the roofs, he comes from Spain and has a longer beard. Oh, and he isn't so fat. I think that's about it. :eyeroll:

(And in case you're wondering, Santa Claus is not the original :p )

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a chocolate letter M to eat. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I've forgotten. What day is it when people celebrate the whole candy-from-Saint-Nikolas thing?

We did that when I was reeeally young.

There's gotta be someone who remembers. Black Peter, etc etc?

Wow, I feel old.

Edit: We're probably talking about the same holiday, Cat.[/color:post_uid0]

[Saxamaphone]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You are :)

I celebrate, but the way our family does it is from the Dutch tradition trickeling down and mish mashing in German holday tradition - it's really a Christmas prequil for us - except with stockings and no tree.

I had a friend in elementary school who's faja was Dutch - so I learned all about the stuff CM was talking about good times

(I always used to think the show thing made for some stinky candy tho ;) )[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I just did a country report on the Netherlands and did some research on Sinterklass and other holidays. Very interesting. I wish we had 2 days of Christmas[/color:post_uid0]

Except maybe use them to make money, somehow. Either as showgirls or a small unit of mercenary guerillas.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]December 28th was Forum Meetup Day, when Yours Truly, Nan and Marc met in Montreal, along with DCers BMG and Shorty. We went to see ROTK (great googly moogly, what a movie), but we arrived at an inauspicious time (mostly because someone got off at the wrong Metro station), so we went for coffee beforehand. Marc ordered pie. The obvious joke was made.

There weren't enough seats in a row to sit all five of us (plus my gigantic suitcase) together, so we sat in two rows. Nan went "Mine, precious!" and gollumed half my popcorn before the movie started. Serves me right for buying a small.[/color:post_uid0]

Two, because everyone was impatient to do something other than picture taking. One of everyone except me, and one of everyone except Marc.

They'll be posted when I finish the roll, get it developed, find a scanner, figure out how to put pictures in posts...in other words, soon.[/color:post_uid0]

[b:post_uid0]Doctor[/b:post_uid0]: What an extraordinary fellow. "As easy as pie"? "As easy as pie"?
[b:post_uid0]Tegan[/b:post_uid0]: That's what he said.
[b:post_uid0]Doctor[/b:post_uid0]: No, he didn't! He said "As easy as pi," the Greek letter pi! Surely you know some basic mathematics, child?
[b:post_uid0]Tegan[/b:post_uid0]: Course! The ratio of the circumferance of a circle ... to its diameter ... is expressed by the Greek letter pi, right?
[b:post_uid0]Doctor[/b:post_uid0]: Correct. You find the safe route across the board by using the mathematical formula pi. Oh, but the application, the application ... Let me see now. 3.14159265 -- yes! [He walks across the board unharmed, then gestures to Tegan] Now!
