Guild of San Marcos Forum

The list is long today...

Creme de Menthe Day (you will need the booze to handle the rest buy this one does not pair well with the other food events)

Online Learning Day (if this post is the only thing you learn online today, you should expand your horizons to include more unsubstantiated information)

Greenpeace Day (commemorating the end of the great crayon war of 1977 when green and red stopped clashing)

Felt Hat Day (felt hats were cool before hipsters found them)

Wife Appreciation Day (guess I will need to go appreciate somebody else's wife today)

Cheese Toast Day (raise a glass to cheese! What? Oh, the cheese is ON toast...well that is...an open faced grilled cheese)

Linguine Day (flat noodles, bleh)

Tackle Kids Cancer Day )seems cruel to tackle a kid with cancer but whatever)

And...

Double Cheeseburger Day (the good kind where they also double the cheese)

Cinnamon Raisin Bread Day (which is surprisingly resilient to mold...not that anyone left enough around long enough for that to happen)

Clean Up Day (we probably need a clean up week if we are honest)

Step-Family Day (evil stepmothers always make you do the cleaning up)

Working Parents Day (I really thought this was the standard. Are there a lot of families where the kids earn the wages?)

Mayflower Day (a boat full of people who left a country where nobody liked them arrives in a new land too late to plant any crops and need to mooch off the locals... miracle it worked out)

And...

Play-Doh Day (woo! Play-Doh!)

Constitution Day & Citizenship Day (I am guessing by how it is written this has to do with new citizens learning the Constitution unlike the natives)

Apple Dumpling Day (get the gang together and have dessert. Save one for my dad)

And...

Monte Cristo Day (make it count)

And...

Cheeseburger Day (I'm going to get you all the cheeseburgers)

Butterscotch Pudding Day (one of those flavors you only find in other stuff)

And...

Talk Like A Pirate Day (aye, aye I be at sea)

Tradesmen Day (do not disrespect the plumber and furnace guys...you really need them)

POW/MIA Recognition Day (if you can recognize a MIA, are they really missing?)

Pepperoni Pizza Day (seems like it could just be Pizza day)

Punch Day (no idea if this is juice or a fist based event so let's call it both)

And...

String Cheese Day (a staple for grade school kids)

I assume we have a separate day for Punch Buggy.

Well, we should have a separate day.

On to today's festivities:

Gymnastics Day (people flip for this holiday... really)

Boys and Girls Club Day for Kids (maybe they can do gymnastics.)

New York Day (the State as a whole. Great place north of Poughkeepsie)

Elephant Appreciation Day (they are big, they can move a car... let's call it wary respect day)

Legwear Day (I would tell a sock joke but I don't know any)

Car Free Day (free car? Wait...that sounds like "take this hunk of metal that won't start day" to me)

BRAVE Day (it must be in caps to sound bolder)

Centenarians Day (oddly, they were all around for the first celebration as well)

And...

Hobbit Day (once upon a time, there was a meddling short man what lived in a hole...)

Snack Sticks Day (a vague and inclusive event)

Restless Legs Awareness Day (twitchy single bisexuals wearing ng teal...this is a major event)

Great American Pot Pie Day (I will concede they are great but I question the "American" aspect of a pot pie)

And...

Checkers/Dogs in Politics Day (wait, what? I know what a checker and a dog are, what links them?)

And looking it up... A real dumb reason to dual name a day. And kind of a dumb event too.

Damn you, Nixon!

Cherries Jubilee Day (cherries + booze = celebration)

Voter Registration Day (so you can feel you help elect whoever the media picks out)

Punctuation Day (I am giving them the day off)

Innergize Day (sounds like a made up corporate speak day)

Tune Up Day (relayed to the above?)

Johnny Appleseed Day (I have some trees allegedly descended from his tour...those apples are small, mushy and not very good)

Dumpling Day (pancakes AND dumplings...mmmm, good starchy meals)

Shamu the Whale Day (Sea World had a theme park in my area. Shamu was a regular part of Summer vacation and school trips. Big Talent, still a predator)

And...

Situational awareness Day (splash zones made by carnivorous fish leave one very situationally aware)

Side note on Sea World: any of you remember their ads for the year they had the Super friends themed waterski show? I got to see it and Aquaman was not the star.

Family Health and Fitness Day (what kind of health?...)

Drink Beer Day (a healthy family activity that could never go wrong)

Good Neighbor Day (a good neighbor will share their beer)
