Is there a National Girlfriends Avoidance Day somewhere? You know - on February 29th.

I don't know what you mean, gangerh. *confused*

Besides, Feb. 29 happens to be quite a special day for me. :-)

Indeed, I found this article about the governor of South Carolina hiking (possibly naked).

Edit: Nevermind! Apparently he was naked, but not hiking... *blushes*

Thanks for the reminder--I still have time to go shopping, don't I?

Yum! And don't forget National Pickle Day.

Did you attend the celebrations, Pro?

Oh, not really! I'm not a pickle fan - plus, I was in the field, taking pictures that iPhoto kindly deleted when it crashed.

What I'd like to know is what happens to the real timetravellers on this day... are they allowed to join in?

You must be wrong PU, I just got back from tomorrow and nobody was celebrating.

December 8, 2010

reesetee commented on the list one-person-s-holiday-is-another-s

Pro, didn't anyone tell you? We were celebrating by traveling to another time.

December 8, 2010

Found you! It was a lot of fun, but it took me ages to get there!

December 8, 2010

That's okay. You weren't late by the time you arrived last week.

December 8, 2010

Prolagus commented on the list one-person-s-holiday-is-another-s

We just missed day of the ninja last Sunday. Or maybe we were there and nobody could see us.

December 8, 2010

Prolagus commented on the list one-person-s-holiday-is-another-s

On the other side, now that I think of it, the best way of celebrating day of the ninja is not to observe it.

December 8, 2010

reesetee commented on the list one-person-s-holiday-is-another-s

That's very...wise.

*stares dramatically into the distance during middle of sentence*

Wait, I'm late for that one.

Oh, and don't travel too far into the future on Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day or you'll miss National Pastry Day (the 9th) and National Noodle-Ring Day (the 11th).

And people think Christmas is a big deal.

April 28, 2011

reesetee commented on the list one-person-s-holiday-is-another-s

Yes, it has! I actually intended it to be a list of goofy holidays, so I probably didn't add either of those. Some people take them mighty seriously.

If it helps, I've tagged all the entries on this list with the day, date, week, month, etc. If you look at the tag pages for any of those, you'll see the names of the corresponding holidays listed. :-)

This year's national bilby day falls on the 10-year anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. I imagine this will give the conspiracy theorists something to dig into, so to speak.

sionnach commented on the list one-person-s-holiday-is-another-s

National bilby day, the day of the jackal, day of the locust; even the dead have their day. Why no day of the fox?

An important question, without a satisfactory answer. Fortunately, even if there is as yet no day of the fox, there is a fox of the day .

June 1, 2011

National bilby day duly added. *orders pin*

Au contraire, my good fox. There is indeed a Fox Day, albeit local.
