December 29th is, as nobody knows, I”IMUAID”D. Stupid ol’ governments and legislative bodies are constantly bombarding us with international “Sanctimonious Platitude” Day or “Ridiculously Specific Local Product” Day or “Celebrate Our Momentarily Successful Sports Team” Day.
The natural response to this is to kill such people and sew their ancestral lands with salt. Surprisingly, this practice is frowned upon by otherwise sensible people. Thus today, December 29th, 2010 A.D., is the first annual International “International Make Up an International Day” Day.
Mockery of our political “betters” is encouraged. So is much-deserved praise for unsung heroes, along with just plain silliness and fun. Just be the exact polar opposite of a narcissistic busybody and you’ll provide an International Day worthy of being circled in red ink.
Consider. We do this long enough and inevitably something like September 19th will be born.
And thus, I hereby proclaim…
“Proclaim!”
In the spirit of paragraph two, can I propose an “International Eliminate Your Nemesis Day” where you are legally allowed to bring grievous harm to your nemesis.
In sporting fairness, I would also like to nominate the day after “International Eliminate Your Nemesis Day”, to be “International Name Your Nemesis Day”, to give all Nemeses fair warning of the wrath they will face 364 days hence.
On a positive note, the 112th congress is said to be doing away with some of the more frivolous legislation dealing with this type of thing, however time will tell if their definition of frivolity is the same as ours.
It reminds me of Robert Sheckley’s “The Tenth Victim”.
I like that there’s no warning for the very first IEYND. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
How about International “I’m so fine!” day.
After all, the average citizen’s political views comes down to: “What this country needs is more people like me!”
I love the concept, my brain’s trying to come up with snappy/catchy labels for it. It’s rich with different possibilities. A straight-forward Narcissist’s Day, “spend it with the one you love!”
The political aspect feels more like international “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” Day. Which would be amazing if people could actually practice what they preach.
And for some reason my brain just coughed up “Everybody Imitate Everybody Else!” Day, which is delightfully insane.
Hahahaha. Some quite intellectual offerings so far. Now to bring down the bar a notch or ten…
– International Road Rage Day
– International Go to the Gym Wearing Embarrassingly Revealing Shorts Day
– International Bare One’s Breasts to the Mailman Day
– International Buy a Corvette Day [imagine the magnificent mayhem ]
– International Ride the John Deere Topless Day
– International White Stretch Pants Day
– International Tire Burning Day [my threat when the boss sends around her annual earth day propaganda]
– International Upper Management Day [they stay home and employee productivity improves 46%]
– International Walmart Day
A woman’s perspective.
Does hubby know you’re considering a “Flash the Mailman” Day?
okay you’ve really made me laugh out loud with those. No way I could top em if I tried.
International let-your-kids-play-video-games-all-day Day (hey, that’s today!)
International Talk Like Harry Carey Day
International Meow Day
International Can’t Blame America Today Day
International Argue With Everyone You See Day
International ‘I’d Prefer Not To’ Day, aka International Passive Aggressive Day
International Go Ahead And Have The Tantrum Day
International ‘I’m Officially Out Of Ideas’ Day
You came up with some great ones! Did the movie Super Troopers inspire Meow Day?
Yes. Yes it did. And no. I haven’t even seen the movie. Need to netflix it.
