Guild of San Marcos Forum

Chocolate Eclair Day (it's just another really big donut)

HVAC Tech Day (air conditioning guy really needs his own holiday?)

Onion Ring Day (that is singular so don't overdo it)

And...

The 50th anniversary of the Cuyahoga River catching fire in Cleveland. (That is correct, we set fire to water here.)

Pink Day (all you panthers rejoice)

Hydration Day (and you will need extra because...)

It's also...

Pecan Sandies Day ( if there is a drier cookie on Earth, keep that secret to yourself.*)


*Chicago probably has one to serve with Malort

I am happy to report that Jenny got home last night, noticed the Malort, gave it a sniff and immediately declared that the alcohol had "Definitely Gone Bad" then promptly poured it all down the drain. In my weakened state (from the flu) I was unable to stop her...

And how well are your drains draining now?

The drains have shriveled shut.

Pralines Day


That's it. Nothing else going on. If you are planning a new holiday, this might be a good place for it.

Catfish Day

Strawberry Parfait Day (everyone loves parfait, Shrek)

And...

Leon Day (I used to know a Leon that everyone actually did like)

Beautician's Day (making the world pretty is their job)

And...

Chocolate Pudding Day (making the world happy is its job)

Orange Blossom Day (I will settle for the oranges)

Handshake Day (remember, firm but not crushing)

Sunglasses Day (I say every day is good for sunglasses and I wear them at night like Corey Hart too)

PTSD Awareness Day (I normally would not even dream of making light of this but someone scheduled it with...)

Bomb Pop Day (3 color popsicles that don't taste like anything definable)

Insurance Awareness Day (might explain the 14 calls from telemarketer systems in the past 5 hours)

And...

Paul Bunyan Day (acres and oxen for the win)

Almond Buttercrunch Day (is this even a separate entity? Sounds like a topping)

Camera Day (kids, this used to be a box all it's own. And you had to wait a week to see your bad selfie)

Waffle Iron Day (ah, waffle the blessed provider of the perfect origins breakfast)

And...

Parchment Day (which I tried to use for this post but you all would have needed to drive over and read it)

Meteor Watch Day (which is harder to participate in than "meteor watch NIGHT")

And...

Social Media Day (so go spend the rest of the day with your phone)

Wow, already time for the next Monthly list (it feels like June was at least a day shorter and five days passed a lot faster than they should have... Maybe it's just me.).

Anyway, here are the July Monthly Observances:

Anti-Boredom Month (if you are booted, go outside and play. I am not telling you again)

Baked Beans Month (I don't think I have eaten baked beans in July in years...too hot to fire up the oven)

Culinary Arts Month (where we perfect the method of baking beans)

Grilling Month (do not tell your Dad that is a culinary arts, he thinks he is the only guy who can cook over fire)

Hot Dog Month (culinary artists will debate the perfect dog. All will ruin it with weird condiments. Grillers who drink more than they pay attention insist they are supposed to be charred)

Ice Cream Month (you scream, I scream we all scream for ice cream...but not for the same reasons)

Picnic Month (a culinary challenge that ofetn involves grills, baked beans and mayo based side dishes that are impossible to keep at a safe temperature. July is for risk taking)

July Belongs To Blueberries Month (the world needs more blue food. The culinary and picnic crowds all worship the mighty strawberry but blueberries are sooooo much better. More nutrition, better flavor and shape, no weird seeds on the cover...)

World Watercolor Month (maybe you can paint a picture of your picnic)

And... (This is a brilliant one, wait for it...)

Unlucky Month For Weddings! (Yeah, someone officially declared that)

On to July 1...

U.S. Postage Stamp Day (they probably have a collectable stamp for it)

Postal Worker Day (carrier day was earlier so this is for the guy in the office who hands you your registered packet with GenCon tickets and sells you commemorative Stamp Day stamps)

Gingersnap Day (this is for cookies, not angry redheads)

And...

Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day (creative is a nice way to say weird idea nobody should eat)

salamanca wrote:Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day (creative is a nice way to say weird idea nobody should eat)

Like gingersnap and postage stamp ice cream?

I was thinking wasabi or Malort flavor ice cream but, yeah...weird stuff nobody should eat.

On to today:

Anisette Day (this is either a licorce flavored liqueur or Alanis Morissette has shortened her name)

And...

That's actually the only thing going on today.

Funny, I thought there was a Birthday happening for someone today. Ok, probably lots of someones, but someone particularly that started the thread.

Lindsey Lohan and Jose Canseco do not rate a national holiday. But good for you to remember them on their birthdays

Fried Clams Day (they don't taste let me much, have a weird texture and are not really filling... let's make a meal out of these things!)

Eat Your Beans Day (they are good for you, dear.)

And...

Chocolate Wafer Day (the perfect way to complete a meal of clams and beans)

Admittedly, if all you've ever had are clam strips, then yeah...not impressed. Fried full belly clam though? JACKPOT!

As for chocolate wafers, was so happen when I found a recipe to make them. I can make Fauxreos now!

Barbeque Spareribs Day (wipe your fingers! I am sick of finding rib sauce on the walls.)

Crasar Salad Day (when I think of July, I think of Ceasar Salad...insert your own rolling eyes emojis)

And...

Independence Day (for those of us who were born a few days on either side of this event, it was a real let down when we discovered all those fireworks were not celebrating us.)

salamanca wrote:Crasar Salad Day (when I think of July, I think of Ceasar Salad...insert your own rolling eyes emojis)

Well, its not like they named the month after.... oh.. yea

I've always preferred dry rubs to BBQ sauces anyways.

Apple Turnover Day (hey! I just bought some of those! I am celebrating for a change)

Graham Cracker Day (I got those too! Double holiday and we may let a topper tag along with the crackers)

And...

Bikini Day (whaddaya know I...wait. Nope, I don't have a Bikini. If you do, don't share pictures)

Hop-a-park Day (I have no idea, interpret as you want)

And...

Fried Chicken Day (at least you got chicken)
