What Are We Celebrating Today?

March 19th: ‘Poultry Day’

Poultry Day celebrates chicken, turkey and other birds we commonly consume. Chicken and turkey are lower in fats, and cholesterol than other meats, making it better for your health. They also give you your breakfast eggs.
Celebrate Poultry Day with eggs for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch, and barbecue chicken for dinner. Don’t forget to cook up some chicken fingers for the kids.
Most famous Chicken: Looney Tune’s Foghorn leghorn.
Chicken Philosophy: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Oh Yeah! I love poultry. Years ago when we lived down in Colombia, my parents bought a lil' turkey and my brothers named it and made a pet of it. Then, on Thanksgiving, they served it up. They were afraid my brothers and I would be disturbed that they'd cooked the pet turkey. My oldest brother looked up from the meal halfway through and said, "Gee, Helen sure is tough." We all agreed, but just added some more gravy and chowed down!

Awww...Not Helen!!!!

March 20th: Extraterrestrial Abductions Day


Extraterrestrial Abductions Day is today. Keep one eye on the sky. And, be ready to duck, dodge, and to hide. UFO's may be everywhere, looking to abduct humans. If you are not careful, perhaps they will find you! Of course, there are more than a few people out there who are looking to be abducted by aliens, so they can travel to another planet.
Celebrate today by reading and watching science fiction stories about UFOs and Extraterrestrials. And, make sure to keep out of sight of extraterrestrials.
Most lovable alien: "ET"
Favorite alien: "My Favorite Martian"
Origin of "Extraterrestrial Abductions Day":
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. From what we have gathered, we believe the creator has been abducted. The suspects are believed to have have fled the area in a very high speed vehicle.

AND....today is my Much Older Brother's Birthday (RIP)
AND....today is the first day of Spring!

If I was an alien, I think I'd just make a reality show of what goes on with Earthlings. Abduction is kind of a pain in the neck (if aliens have one). You kidnap them and then you have to feed and water them, plus they need to be walked at least twice a day. Humans just make lousy pets. Better to get a Trible!

And today is a day in honor of Alain! It's National Goof Off Day!!!

And that is why I'm watching hockey with a case of Foster's!

Yeah...but how is that different from any other day?

Um, Foster's is expensive. Normally I drink Rolling Rock which I can always get on sale!

Well I just thought of this at the last moment. Today is my step brothers 53rd Birthday.

A very happy Birthday to your stepbrother!

I'm celebrating passing my first DAU ACQ 203 test.

Congrats!

Congratulations! It must be getting hard to figure out who's an ally and who isn't these days when it comes to sales and stuff. (does DAU ACO cover that? I'm not sure...)

And today is:

National Joe Day is a chance to change your name, if only for today.

Many people do not like their given name. They wish they could change it. A few actually do. On National Joe Day, it is perfectly okay to have everyone call your "Joe". Why Joe, and not Bob or Mike or Radcliffe? Simply, because everyone likes the name Joe. If you are called Joe today, we know that you're "Joe cool"!

This works well for the men out there. What about the ladies? We suggest you choose Josephine or Jody.

I changed my name to Jody. Somehow it didn't fit.

Maybe you should have tried, Joann.

I went with my Druid name, Getafixus Maximus. People like that one!

Today is April Stew's Day! I mean...April Fool's Day! Same thing, really.

Is there such a day called "Bad Friday"?

Bad Friday only happens if you have to work on Saturday.

Today is the day the preists of the Great Horny Toad and Disciples of the Holy Bridge (which has since collapsed into the River Cedar in Iowa) celebrate their founding in 1975. Mass consumption of cheap, blessed intoxicating beverages whilst communicating with other elders of the sect will occur in the evening.

Ummmm....Huh?

Let me go back to something less confusing. Today is Thursday.
