Talk Like a Pirate (and other strange holidays)

For reasons I still have yet to comprehend, this is one of Leah's favorite websites.  It is a collection of national holidays and celebrations.  Here are a few that are coming up soon:

• September 9: Wonderful Weirdoes Day (I'm sure you can think of someone to honor)
• September 14-20: Balance Awareness Week (For those struggling to stand up straight)
• September 21-27: National Love your Files Week (Huh?)
• September 21-27: National Clean Hands Week (I'd argue to stretch this one out all year)

This is all fresh in my mind because yesterday Leah was thoughtful enough to inform me that her birthday (September 20) also happens to double as Wife Appreciation Day.  How nice for her.

So here's my question. 

If you had the opportunity to add one observance to the national calendar, what would it be?

I'll go first!

Not sure on the wording yet, but something like this: "National Step on an Ohio State Jersey Day."

...and that day should be a Saturday and let's say, why not on the same day as let's say, maybe the Michigan / Ohio State game...question is...do we step on the Jersey before or after or during the game????

Mine would be National Put your wife before your dog week. I am thinking it should be a month though, maybe. I actually would be happy with a day. As you can guess I am married to a dog lover.

when i was in college, one of my best friends (jessica) used to take my calendar at the end of every month and fill in "special days" on my calendar for the next month. so on any random day i might check my calendar to see "kim is a fox day":) so i decided to dedicate the entire month of november to her. november is international (because one year she was in greece and we still celebrated) jessica wattelet month!

I'm loving the way September is sitting now. I just think we need to spread out the celebration a little. Maybe make March 20 Buy the Person Who Cooks Meals In Your House a Present Day????

Man, you hating on my Ohio State Buckeyes is cold-blooded...

I might add "dress like a gangsta day" - I'd really enjoy seeing pastor's with about 5 inches of boxers showing - ha!

by the way, I've started growing hair on the tops of my feet for: Hobbit Day (Sept. 22)!

Think of the low cost of this effort. It costs them--at most--one beverage to get my survey answers. Their real investment will be in the analysis. And, by the way, they've now got my email address so they can communicate again with me.

There was no reason to lecture a room full of educated, middle class people about the importance of their involvement in their child's education. I thanked Cliff afterwards for being on the panel and representing the views of every single parent that I've spoken with.
