Singles Awareness Day
February 15th, 2012
Sick of all your married friends setting you up on blind dates? Tired of uncomfortable silences with your friend's cousin, the single doctor? Despite what the smug marrieds may think, there is nothing wrong with being single. So get out there and go solo proudly.
Shouldn't this have coincided with V-Day?Quote:

Although I didn't do a tast test to prove this, burgers placed back on the grill for warming on Saturday don't look quite as tasty when taken off on Wednesday.
Probably a good idea to not "tast" them! Were they still raw?Quote:

Sometimes they don't mean to be so mean. Why not help out a Grouchy Gus by doing them a favor? It may pay off and they'll actually be nice to you tomorrow. Though we can't promise you anything.
National Almond Day
February 16th, 2012
Mmmm. Almonds. Vitamin E, magnesium and fiber never tasted so good!
Heyyyyyyy....ChipDog....long time no see. As for the taste test...no need. Take it off on Wednesday and use it for a hockey puck.Quote:

Yep...some people are assholes and proud of it!
I think we should join a canadian league instead of sunbelt
Well, the sunbelt is a step above.......flag football.Quote:

National Champion Crab Races Day
February 17th, 2012
Today, somewhere in America --probably Maryland-- a bunch of people are in a very small arena with their well-trained crustaceans. Our money is on Baltimore Blue to place in the fifth race.
Random Acts of Kindness Day
February 17th, 2012
It's not just a bumper sticker anymore. Get out there and commit random acts of kindness. Because premeditated acts of meanness just aren't good for anyone.
I get this holidays tidbits from the Hallmark website. They have a card for every one of them!
They must have 2 or 3 cards for some days!Quote:

The harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out.
February 18 is … National Battery Day
We like to think that this day is in honor of Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the battery, who died on this day in 1745. Without batteries, where would that pink bunny with the drums be today? Seriously, think about it.

Chocolate Mint Day
The diabolically brilliant people who thought of putting chocolate and mint together really do have a lot to answer for. Our waistlines in particular. With all the chocolate mint ice cream, cakes, cookies, candies and brownies, we really need something to wash it all down with. Chocolate mint tea perhaps?
That happened before he said what everyone remembers..."Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"Quote:

National Cherry Pie Day
Not just any pie, it's the pie. That's right, this is the pie of Queen Elizabeth I to be exact. Treat yourself tonight and serve up a dish fit for royalty.
National Hoodie Hoo Day
February 20th, 2012
Tell your children that in order to keep the winter at bay, they should go outside and scare away the chills today by yelling "Hoodie Hoo!" That'll keep them busy while you sit back with a hot cup of cocoa, warming your mitts. And while they are out there, they can shovel the driveway too.
Presidents' Day
February 20th, 2012
This day to honor our past and present Presidents falls on George Washington's birthday. One usually celebrates it by perusing used car lots, mattress sales or fighting the traffic at the mall. We think George Washington said it best: '50% off bath mats is a freedom we can't afford to miss!'
What does one yell outside on a really hot day to scare away the heat??Quote:

All over this diverse world this day is celebrated to promote multilingualism and cultural awesomeness. So speak up in your native language today. (No, 'spanglish' doesn't count.)
I hope everyone can understand me. I'm going to be speaking English today.Quote:

Pennsylvania does it again! German settlers created "schnecken," the original sticky bun, and to this day they are considered a Philadelphian specialty. You don't have to go to Philly to get one of these sweet treats, but it couldn't hurt! Unless you eat too much scrapple or cheese steaks first.
Mardi Gras
February 21st, 2012
Celebrated annually in New Orleans with parades, floats, and costumes (not to mention drinking and debauchery) the origin of Mardi Gras dates back centuries. The party started off small, with 16 men pushing a bull's head through town on Fat Tuesday, but like so many parties that start off with a bull's head, it just kind of developed a life of its own. And over the years it's turned into a city-wide celebration and tourist destination.
Bazinga
I always carry a pocket full of doughnut holes. Although, they are various sizes, they take up no room in my pocket. They have no calories; but, they have no taste.
International World Thinking Day
February 22nd, 2012
Open your mind! That's what the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides of the world do today. Well, they think and also play games, do activities and get into projects that have global themes. Wonder what a 'Think Master' merit badge looks like'
National Margarita Day
February 22nd, 2012
You don't have to wait until Cinco de Mayo to celebrate the greatest beverage ever created by... well we're not really sure who actually created this drink. Dozens of bartenders claim the glory. But after 2 or 3 of them, who really cares? Salud!
Walking the Dog Day
February 22nd, 2012
Hey! Let your poor pooch out! Whether for a walk around the block or up the side of a mountain, today treat your terrier to the walk of his life! Or allow your St. Bernard to drag you along for the ride!
I guess I need to go to Trejo's!Quote:

International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day
February 23rd, 2012
Well you walked the dog yesterday, make sure you reward him today! Give Fido a little, crunchy bone-shaped biscuit of happiness. But, just for today, please don't make him balance it on his nose first.
Real Cleveland Browns?Quote:

Play Tennis Day
February 23rd, 2012
Sure, it's cold outside and Wimbledon is a few months away, but that shouldn't stop you from challenging the top seeded table tennis champ in your house today. No need to wear all white to the match.
I guess I will fire up the Wii tonight!Quote:

National Tortilla Chip Day
Contrary to popular belief, tortilla chips are not from Mexico. They were invented in Los Angeles in the 1940s. Stick that in your guacamole!
I heard pizza was invented in the United States.
Mmmm. Pizza. Johnny's Pizza!Quote:
