Life Day 23574: Thomas Crapper Day
January 27, 2012 on 12:45 pm | In Homefront | No CommentsGood morning. Today is Thomas Crapper Day. I know, you ask: “Who is Thomas Crapper, and why does he have his own Day”? This link will explain it all. Basically, he popularized and improved the flush toilet. Since his actual date of birth is unknown, Thomas Crapper Day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death in 1910. Enough of this ‘crap’. Let me get on with the rest of today’s “holidays”.
On a much darker note, today is also Holocaust Memorial Day. We should never forget how and why the Holocaust occurred.
To lighten things up again, in addition, it is Punch the Clock Day. I would like to go on record as saying that I am against any form of chronometer abuse, which is destructive and can be painful. However, I think that this “holiday” refers to the old time clock at work. The reasons why anyone would want to celebrate ‘time clocks’ eludes me, but if you are so inclined, today is the day to do so.
Finally, I will end this on a ’sweet note’ with a day one can really ’sink their teeth into’. Today is Chocolate Cake Day. Now this is a day worthy of celebration, and I intend to do just that.
Life Day 23573: Nutty Day
January 26, 2012 on 9:39 am | In Homefront | No CommentsGood morning everyone. Today is a day for all you “nuts” out there. It is National Pistachio Day and National Peanut Brittle Day. Either of these days is a reason for celebration of it’s own accord in my humble opinion. I plan to go “nuts” and celebrate both.
It is also Spouses Day. If you are married and chose to do nothing special for Spouses Day, you’re “nuts”.
Life Day 23572: Opposite Day
January 25, 2012 on 8:52 am | In Homefront | No CommentsGood morning everyone. Today is Opposite Day. If it seems like everything you do today is going wrong, you now know the reason. Just grin and bear it, things will hopefully improve tomorrow.
It is also National Irish Coffee Day. A couple of cups of Irish Coffee this morning might just help you survive Opposite Day. Like my Jewish Grandmother used to say, “It couldn’t hoit”.
Life Day 23571: Compliment Day
January 24, 2012 on 11:52 am | In Homefront | No CommentsGood morning readers. “My, you sure look nice today”. “Is that a new blouse? It really highlights the color of your eyes”. “Dude, Have you been working out? You look buff”. These are all examples of compliments, which is apropos because today is Compliment Day.
Today is also Lobster Thermidor Day. If you can afford to buy Lobster, congratulations, you are probably part of the 1%.
Additionally, it is National Peanut Butter Day. If all you can afford is Peanut Butter, congratulations, you are probably part of the 99%.
Finally, today is Beer Can Appreciation Day. Swill down a can of Lager or Pilsner (or a few of each), then sit back and appreciate the vessel that contained that golden nectar.
Life Day 23570: Measure Your Feet Day
January 23, 2012 on 8:15 am | In Homefront | No CommentsGood morning everyone. When is the last time you measured your feet? If it has been a while, stop procrastinating, and head to your local shoe store today because it is Measure Your Feet Day.
When is the last time you practiced your penmanship or wrote someone a letter? If it has been a while, stop procrastinating, get that old box of stationery out of your desk, and write a letter because today is also National Handwriting Day.
Finally, when is the last time you had a slice of pie? If it has been a while, stop procrastinating, and bake a pie or visit ye olde local pie shoppe today because today is also National Pie Day.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year everyone. It is the “Year of the Dragon”. I suddenly have a craving for Egg Drop Soup.
