Royston Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I just had an E-mail from work, announcing it's 'International Women's Day', to commence on the 8th of March. We have Mother's Day, Father's Day even 'Talk like a Pirate Day' (my favourite day.) So if you could propose a day, what would it be ? I can't think of one yet, I suppose we could have, 'I can't think of a day...day.' But that's kinda lame.
Royston Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 `Support your Local Brewery` day Isn't that called Saturday I think mine will be, 'International stand in a queue day.' Just because I know, everybody will dread that day.
john5746 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Universal Godless day. Think for yourself day. Think for someone else day.
the tree Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 loose leaf tea day. there just isn't enough tea being drunk today.
Kaeroll Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 International Hat Day? I don't think there are enough hats going about. Mostly stupid ones with ear flaps and bobbles. Whatever happened to the trilby? (Actually, scrap that - Pete Doherty appropriated it for the indie crowd...)
Baub Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 How about International Step Parent day. A truley tough job, but worth the effort. Plus it could easily tie in with "Support Your Local Brewery Day". I sometimes reflect on my parenting over a pint of black ale.
Royston Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Think for yourself day. Think for someone else day. I propose, these commence on the same day...to invoke maximum confusion. International Hat Day? Why the question mark ? <snigger> What a great day...though I am bias, because my parents are sure I was born with a hat on. I agree, I think hats have taken a turn for the worse recently. I've noticed the ear flaps are rife, especially where I live (poncey fashion worshipping Brighton)...these were practically on every market stall in Peru. I guarantee the majority of people that don these ear flap hats, aren't aware that they stemmed from South American Indians, they're called Chullo's.
Kaeroll Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 They seem to be an essential part of 'student wear' on my university's campus - those, and silly 'hippy' pseudo-headbands worn by the fairer sex ("I hate corporate fashion, but I love Topshop," seems to be the message). 1
the tree Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I have an ear flap hat because one day I was really cold and there was a market stool selling ear flap hats in front of me, so I brought one. It has nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with keeping warm.
Royston Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 It has nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with keeping warm. Maybe for you...I can assure you that's not the case where I live, well for most of the people I've seen wearing them, you know, when it's a nice sunny day. But yes, they are warm, don't have one myself, based on the guy I was travelling with at the time, looked like an idiot. His face didn't really suit Indian head wear. I'm going to stop typing now, because I'm celebrating YT's first suggestion, it's on Friday's where I live. tee hee
iNow Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I propose an International Day of Reason and Rationality. We could call it "today."
Royston Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 We could call it "today." But that would be everyday...arrr, cunning iNow, cunning. How about, 'Wearing a silly hat, whislt posting on a forum, talking to iNow day', I like this day...so I'll exercise my right, to celebrate this day.
iNow Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I prospose "Punch a spammer in the kidneys and kick him in the testicles" day.
Mr Skeptic Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 The obvious one: International Science Day Celebrate by having science fairs/shows and taking your kids to them. Also celebrate it on TV for the lazy bums.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 International All Those Other Things That Aren't Worth Having A Day For Day.
swansont Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Remember that March 14 is Talk Like a Physicist day, and also Pi day (for those using the US system of dates)
CharonY Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 CAFFEINE SHOCK DAY! (and yes, it should be all caps.)
Royston Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 Well yesterday was 'what monumental repeated brain farts were being released when I did my last maths assignment day.' I achieved well over a pass, (redeeming myself in front of my SFN peers) but it's the mistakes you dwell on, which is kinda productive if you want to make progress.
SkepticLance Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 International take a scientist to the pub and buy him/her free drinks day.
padren Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Not my proposal but: The Brain declares today 'International Talk Like William Shatner Day!' - P.S. Happy B-Day Shat! http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40518
JohnB Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It may be a bit late, but I propose February 26th as "Alfred Beach Day" to honour all those who tried to make their dreams reality.
Royston Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Not my proposal but: The Brain declares today 'International Talk Like William Shatner Day!' - P.S. Happy B-Day Shat!
