26th Mar 11
M. R. Sellars
Yes… Yes… I know. The next blog up is supposed to be Food. It’s Really Not That Hard… I’ve caught all manner of grief about the “cliffhangerness” of the $750.00 story… Well, suck it up and quit complaining. It’s coming…
HOWEVER…
Well… You saw THAT coming, right? I know I did…
As it happens, March 26 is way more than just a two and a six in a square on a sheet of paper. Never mind that the two and six would only add up to eight, which is way less than 26. Unless you then multiplied the sum by three and added two. But this isn’t supposed to be a math lesson. It’s actually supposed to be a March lesson, sans drums, hares, and, well, marching…
Suffice it to say, March 26 is a couple of things besides just a date on a page:
- Earth Hour Day – if you don’t know about Earth Hour day, then go here and find out: EARTH HOUR – We here at La Casa De La Pelirrojas will be on candle power this evening to show our support. Feel free to join us (in the whole candle power thing, not showing up at our house. Do that and we might have to shoot you…)
- National Make Your Own Holiday Day – Srsly. (Details)
Soooo, since March 26th, every year, is National Make Your Own Holiday Day, the staff of Brainpan Leakage – the staff in question being Moi… and… well… E K, because she’s the supervisor and I have to do what she tells me to do… But anyway, here at Brainpan Leakage we… I… she… us… Whatever… thought it might be a good thing to toss some ideas out there for folks, just in case they are having problems coming up with a holiday…
POSSIBLE HOLIDAYS FOR NATIONAL MAKE YOUR OWN HOLIDAY DAY
National Make Your Own Porn Day (Be sure to share)
National Do Whatever E K Says Day (24/7/365 for me already)
National Read A Rowan Gant Investigations Novel Day
National Chuck A Woodchuck Day
National Simonize Your Car Day
National Eat Sushi Day
National Hit Someone In The Face With A Pie Day
National Just Say No To Microsoft Day
National Velvet Day
National Eat Some Vienna Sausages Day
National SPAM On A Stick Day
And… You know me… The list could go on, and on…
So there you have it. It’s National Make Your Own Holiday day, so make yourself a holiday and celebrate it every way you can. But when the festivities are over, remember to turn out the lights, shut off the TV, and maybe just read a book by candlelight. Because no matter what holiday you invent, it’s still Earth Hour day, and we’ve only got one Earth – it has to last us a while…
Besides. You’ll save some cash by not using all that electricity, and then you can afford to run out and buy some more books by that M. R. Sellars guy…
More to come…

You know, you made “National Hit Someone in the Face with a Pie Day” way too long. We really don’t need the “with a pie” part. If that one becomes a thing, I’ll start making lists…as long as part of the holiday is no litigation.
