Today is...

The place for everything else.

Today is...

Postby salamanca » Thu Jan 17, 2019 3:54 pm

So, boredom has lead me to opening the "National Day Calendar" which lists all the stupid holidays lawmakers have slipped into various congressional acts over the years. It's goofy enough that I am taking it home to share as the year goes on.

January, 17:. Bootlegger's Day, Get to Know Your Customers Day, and Hot Buttered Rum Day. (The first and last may make the second easier)

Locally, the Rock Hall has declared this as "Rush Fan Day". So you all know that Lady Grace has braved a blizzard to Alex Lifeson interview Geddy Lee about bass guitars.

Officially, is is simply Popcorn Day.
So pop up a big old bowl and enjoy a swashbuckling film today.

Lady Grace WANTED to, but to quote "The Big Wheel" (from Roll the Bones) "The Tickets sold out in advance". :evil:

Seriously, I was 1036 in line because I'm an unwashed mass who doesn't have a RRHOF membership. 5 minutes later, in tiny-ass font that I have to squint to see, a message pops up that it's already sold out.

....I'll always have Toronto though...

Austria, actually. Turks tried to siege it, when the siege ended, Austrian bakers created the pastry to commemorate its end, taking the crescent moon shape from emblems on Turkish banners.
