The Many Holidays of Every Day

[Mr. MR]

"Stay Home Because You're Well Day"
Isn't that labor day?

 

[Splash_King]

... No.

Labor day is a day of notable celebration for something valid, and thus you get the day off legally. Stay home because you're well day is a day to take off just because you want to, and may get you fired. :lol:

 

[Steve1]

I'm excited and cant wait for my holidays to come

 

[Splash_King]

... Uh, right.

So, I've missed an entire week's worth of posts because a single rat decided wires needed for an internet connection were tasty. Fantastic... I'll definitely be writing yesterday's post and then getting on with today's in a bit, but I'm curious if anyone at all wants the old posts. If they do, I'll make use of the upcoming reserve posts one day at a time; every day will be the usual update, and a missed day's post to accompany it. I'll link back to the reserve slot in question so y'all don't need to go find it, 'course.

If nobody cares, I'll just delete the reserves and go on as usual.

 

[Splash_King]

Reserve for a non-existant day; I already did November 30th. :lol:

December 1st​

Red Apple Day
Civil Air Patrol Day
World Aids Day
Day With(out) Art
Bifocals at the Monitor Liberation Day
Rosa Parks Day
Independence Day (Portugal)
National Day (Romania)
Playboy's Anniversary



Red Apple Day celebrates the fruit that's delicious as is, and few people would say otherwise. There's a reason why countless folklore, fairy tales, and stories of gods revolve around the apple. You might be a week late, but celebrate this grand fruit regardless by keeping that doctor away for a day; or perhaps you could celebrate by stealing some Templar apples, if ya catch my drift...


Civil Air Patrol Day celebrates the creation of CAP (lol Smogon) 70 years ago. Civil Air Patrol is a federally supported volunteer organization allowing civilians with aviation talents to aid the US Air Force in whatever way civilian fliers possibly could. Qualified civilian pilots aren't exactly a job you find in spades, so anyone volunteering into CAP is certainly giving their worth as a citizen of their country. CAP was made during WWII for much riskier jobs in aiding the war effort (scouting, for example) but has since become much less dangerous, and nowadays helps out more than just the USAF (hence the S&R and disaster relief). CAP also has a very good foundation in teaching aviation to the younger crowd in the hopes of rearing future pilots, so yeah. Pretty beast non-profit organization.


World AIDS Day is a day of awareness for, obviously, AIDs. Considering we're getting closer and closer to fighting HIV, this might become more of a day of remembrance in the near future. Science ftw!


Day With(out) Art is World AIDS Day but more complicated... ... .... GTFO!


Bifocals at the Monitor Liberation Day is a day of awareness for people with eye problems serious enough to wear bifocals instead of your common glasses... ... ... Yeeeaaahhh... GTFO!


Rosa Parks Day celebrates that legendary moment Rosa Parks figuratively, and sure as **** rightfully spat in the face of Jim Crow by refusing to give up her bus seat to the white man. And then the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott began, spurring more and more civil rights acts to pile onto the bandwagon... And the rest is history. My (late) holiday pick of the day rightfully goes to Rosa Parks Day.


Portugal's Independence Day celebrates the day it regained it's independence after leaving the Iberian Union. Prior to that union, Portugal had been independent since 1143. I also find it ironic that Portugal has an independence day while many territories have an independence day celebrating their freedom from Portugal. :lol:


Romania's National Day celebrates the day the three territories Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania merged with Romania to form the Kingdom of Romania. This all was following a bunch of WWI business that broke up the Austro-Hungarian Empire, leaving the above three territories up for grabs, so to speak.


Today marks Playboy's 58th anniversary of it's first issue back in 1953's December. Thus, we pay tribute to Hugh Hefner; the man we all envy...

December 2nd​

Apple Fritter Day
National Mutt Day
Special Education Day
International Day for the Abolition of Slavery
National Day (United Arab Emirates)
National Day (Lao)
King Camp Gillette's Birthday
Lucy Liu's Birthday
Britney Spears' Birthday
Georges Seurat's Birthday



Apple Fritter Day is the day to eat apple fritters; but **** that, you should just eat any variety of fritter ya want. Sub-category food days are garbage, as y'all should know is my opinion by now. Like anything fried, fritters are delicious and unhealthy. Although, I'd really rather have a tempura dish instead of fritters, honestly....


National Mutt Day celebrates not dogs, but mutts. I don't give a ****, I hate dogs. And what I said above applies to this holiday in full, and therefore... GTFO!


Special Education Day is about the education for herpaderp kids; we had a special kids day already, and a day set aside for them to see Santa. Third time ain't the charm, another ****ing sub-category day... GTFO!!!


International Day for the Abolition of Slavery is a day of awareness for slavery; and holy hell does this holiday have a purpose, since slavery still exists. Blood diamonds, standard servant slavery, so on and so forth. It usually happens in the darkest and least policed corners of the world, and it's just as nasty as it always was. No pay, abuse, incredibly rough and difficult work, treated as less than human... Terrible things. The date was chosen because it was the same day in 1949 that the Great Assembly accepted resolution 317 (IV); "the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others".


United Arab Emirates' National Day celebrates the seven Arab emirates' formal independence from the UK, and the eventual unification of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain in the UAE. You don't see too many nations composed of that many territories all at once...


Lao's (or Laos') National Day celebrates the day Lao finally recovered it's independence after a shitton of war, politics, and other craziness that kept it deprived of it's freedom from 1893 until December 2nd, 1975.


King Camp Gillette (you've probably heard his last name) was the pioneer of the practical disposable razor. In 1901, Gillette designed his own razor model and invented stamped steel razor blades, making them cheap but effective, and thus very profitable. Prior to this, safety razors weren't as cheap nor practical as his design, and typical razors would lose their sharp very fast, and required leather sharpening constantly; a pain in the ass either way, basically. $5 was half an average man's weekly pay, but through a good product and intelligent advertising, these things sold like hotcakes. He made incredible profit, and eventually began spreading his business across the continent and then beyond, off to other countries that partook in the industrial revolution. Apart from his own name brand, his company played a large part in certain products to this day for Braun, Oral-B and Duracell; goes to show what a boss he is. His incredible business skills had impact long after his death, including after the Great Depression, so it goes to show this dude knew what he was doing.


Everyone knows who Lucy Liu is, whether you don't live under a rock or saw that one episode of Futurama. "A grand famous actor" sums her up. She's had plenty of notable appearances such as Kill Bill and Charlie's Angels. But more importantly, aside from the talent she's also got her morals about her, unlike a certain person who also has their birthday today... She's raised millions for various charities and donations 'n such. Liu's got some epic hobbies in martial arts (pfft... like all Asians) and rock climbing; and she even plays the accordion. Yeah, the ****ing according. Whadda beast.


You know that person I said who was lacking morals? Yeah. Britney Spears. She'll party hard whether it's her birthday or not, noone cares. GTFO!


Georges Seurat is a legendary 19th century French painter who has done much for the evolution of art. He himself had created the painting technique pointillism. He also moved art's very direction towards Neo-impressionism single-handed with his most famous piece, which you've probably seen a copy or piece heavily inspired by it in a museum or an art text book. Unfortunately, like many grand artists, he died somewhat young at 31, his case most likely from disease or lethal sickness. They always tend to go out in dramatic and/or unfortunate ways...

December 3rd​

Apple Pie Day
National Roof Over Your Head Day
SKYWARN Recognition Day
Coats and Toys for Kids Day
International Day of Persons With Disabilities
Admission Day (Illinois)



Apple Pie Day-- OMNOMNOMNOM 'nuff said. But I'll type more anyways. Did ya know the phrase "as 'merican as apple pie" is a load of ****? Apple pie had European roots long before people knew the Americas even existed. The only reason the saying came into being is because your average American family had no problem affording apples, a stove, and pie crust, as well as wives (that stay in the kitchen like they should...) far and wide knowing how to make 'em.


National Roof Over Your Head Day is basically the day to appreciate you or your house owner's wealth in that you have a roof over your head, since quite a few people don't. It's only appropriate to appreciate such things in the cold(er) weather of winter, 'course. Considering modern day civilization can be so arbitrarily greedy, we really should appreciate what we've got, whether we were lucky enough to have it handed to us, or we so much as had the opportunity to work for it.


SKYWARN Recognition Day celebrates the people who are srs SKYWARN workers, as well as volunteers who provide insight on local weather. SKYWARN is a program run by the US' National Weather Service with the intention of gathering data on severe weather in the hopes it can be used to more accurately predict future problematic weather. Without organizations like this in general, we would be warned 'bout sudden tornadoes and extremely severe thunderstorms when we're in the middle of 'em; and that would be hardly satisfactory. So yeah, participants in SKYWARN are constantly saving lives.


Coats and Toys for Kids Day comes just in time for both the holidays and poor weather by supplying proper aids for both. Quite a few people have an old jacket and/or toys packed up somewhere that's gathering dust, so if they aren't broken and torn up, might as well make some kids happy and warm. What better way than to spread the word of happy holiday? ... Too bad this drive is only done in Maine. -_-;


International Day of Persons With Disabilities exists because being disabled ****ing sucks, be it from birth, from accident, or from malicious intent of another. No matter how you become crippled, life is all the worse. Those with disabilities deserve our sympathy, as well as our support and help if they desire. Whether you're doing serious contributions to those bed ridden, or committing common courtesy acts like holding the door for someone being pushed in a wheel chair, if the opportunity presents, just help. You'd want the same, no?


Illinois' Admission Day occurred in 1818, securing the Land of Lincoln as the 21st state. 'Least the nickname is cool.

December 4th​

National Cookie Day
Brown Shoes Day
National Dice Day
Saint Barbara's Day



National Cookie Day-- COOKIES! FOR EVERYONE! You will love the cookie. You will eat the cookie. And you will be happy. **** the dark side; EVERYBODY GETS COOKIES!


Brown Shoes Day celebrates... brown shoes? lolwut. Sub-category holiday can gtfo.


Saint Barbara's Day celebrates the saint of the same name for her unwavering faith, or some bullshit like that... Just a bunch of stupid myth mumbo jumbo. Read 'bout it here.


National Dice Day is my kind of holiday; gambling. ;D Dice have existed for over five thousand years; likewise, there have been countless gambling games that have risen using dice alone Dice gambling was so popular that at some point, pretty much every powerful country and then some had dice gambling as part of their civilian and/or noble history. 'Course, in that vein there have been countless professional cheats throughout history using loaded dice to inconspicuously rob people blind; and do it legally, so long as they ain't caught. And even if you hate gambling, I'd bet money at least one third of all popular board games use dice or some sort of random number generator effigy. If you don't want to waste cash, there'l always be a pastime using dice to have fun with. Dice are full of win (and money loss...), so while I normally don't do picks of the day for missed posts, Dice Day gets my pick regardless.


Funfact: Red Dead Redemption has the classic gambling game of liar's dice available as a minigame in single player and multiplayer. One of the best dice game out there IMO, since it's all 'bout the mind games and pokerface alongside the randomness of said dice. Given the nature of the rules, liar's dice also makes loaded dice much harder to abuse without getting a bullet in your skull.

Yes, I mention RDR whenever I get the chance.

December 5th​

National Sacher Torte Day
International Ninja Day
Bathtub Party Day
International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development
Discovery Day (Haiti)
King's Birthday and National Day (Thailand)
Krampuslauf (Austria)
Martin Van Buren's Birthday
Walt Disney's Birthday



National Sachertorte Day celebrates that delicious chocolate cake invented by Franz Sacher in 1832, who at the time was filling in for a Prince's head chef. The poor kid was just an apprentice and none the less a teenager, but was charged with creating somethin' delicious for the Prince and his multiple guests of high standing. Poor kid must of been ready to **** himself. But he performed damn well under pressure and made this dessert far beyond his years, and while Franz didn't receive any notable appreciation or attention for his culinary prowess at the time, the Original Sachertorte eventually became famous. While you won't have the original recipe treat unless you're heading out to Vienna any time soon, if you find yourself in a snazzy restaurant with sachertorte or a variation thereof, ORDER IT! ****ing delicious.


International Ninja Day; just as awesome as talk like a pirate, but instead of talking like a Ninja, you act like one. Put on your serious face, wear all black (or traditional ninja garb for the hardcore [and by traditional I mean stereotypical Hollywood]), and sneak around no matter what you're doing. Surprise people. Blend with your surroundings so well even Altair would be jealous. And if possible, scare the living hell out of people. ... Yep, missing this day is a sad event. =/ 'Course, I had plenty fun celebrating it IRL. I don't need the internets to tell me what December 5th is. :lol: As a Ninja Day veteran, this is my holiday pick of the-quite-some-time-ago.


Bathtub Party Day is for women. If I want to enjoy time in the water, I'll go swim in the nearby pond, not take a bath. :lol: But this day simply isn't my thing (indeed, I'm not a woman-- SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!) and isn't necessarily stupid, so no need to GTFO.


International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development is another day promoting volunteer work, particularly towards the better of one's community. We already had one of these holidays, but I think it was on a national level... The old one can GTFO. -_-'


Haiti's Discovery Day commemorates the day Christopher Columbus discovered Haiti back in 1492. Yep. This ain't India either, Chris.


Thailand's National Day coincides with King Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday; not that he's anyone worth celebrating. A tyrant who throws people in jail for any sort of slander or accusations, true or not, that could be at all considered negative. Sources cite the King's birthday is celebrated with great enthusiasm; I call ****ing bullshit. Thailand needs a new king (hell, a new government); 2011 is the year of revolution, and the clock is ticking. Get on it, Thailand rebels!


Austria's Krampuslauf (that sounds like somethin' tasty...) is not so much as a celebration, but a day of folklore to acknowledge gift-giving Saint Nicholas' counterpart, the Krampus. The Krampus is a fugly demon who, instead of giving gifts to the nice kids, abducts the bad children. Yeah, no lumps of coal for Austrian children; you get kidnapped by a devil. "And remember kids, if you're bad this year, you get spirited away by pedobear's demonic counterpart! =D". Nowadays it's just an excuse to have awesome parades, which is certainly fine with me. Celebrate one's culture and have a good time? Grand.


Martin Van Buren, the US' 8th President and 8th Vice President to Andrew Jackson, and was also the was the first president to be born an American citizen. Andrew Jackson personally wanted him to be president as his successor, and due to Jackson's popularity, it certainly happened. Buren was dealt a poor hand to play with however; some nasty economic times arrived just in time for his presidency, and the idiotic populus of these centuries ago decided to blame it on him. His political opponents used this to their advantage, and he only got a single term. He didn't play his **** hand too well either; he attempted to make peace with Mexico over Texas' ownership, which amounted to nothing when blood was shed later in another presidency. He oversaw the horrid Trail of Tears as well as continued the worst of all the Indian wars, which Jackson had started. He also claimed in believing slavery was wrong, but did nothing significant to ban it. He did handle the economic crisis alright, but he failed to act on his beliefs (or lied about them), and caused incredible suffering to the Native Americans. By rankings he has shifted around quite a bit; he's been rated as anywhere between 20 and 30, and has gone as high as 40 just once; around 40 is where he should stay IMO, but the American people think differently... =/


Walt Disney, without a doubt the most infamous animator of all time, esponsible for many classic cartoons and films, and of course, indirectly inspired Disney World. An entrepreneur like no other, Walt didn't exactly grow up privileged or wealthy, but he wanted it. His love for drawing eventually evolved to incredible talent for animation through odd jobs and other business opportunities, and eventually he opened his own business. Once he got set up, he came up with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse's precursor. Unfortunately, after some time Universal, the company with the rights to Oswald gave Walt an ultimatum of less pay, or they take Oswald and produce the cartoons themselves; as well as Walt's animation team. He declined the bullshit and left, back at square one.

'Course, this is where Walt does more of his animating magic and beloved Mickey Mouse comes in to bring him back to wealth, what with him being the most popular cartoon character world wide in the '30s. The cartoon project after Mickey Mouse wasn't half as successful however, and while Mickey would never entirely decline from popularity, Popeye was catching up. Thus, Walt began planning something new in the form of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs; most people thought it risky and particularly stupid, some going as far as to say it'd break his company. But Walt proved 'em quite wrong and the movie's incredible success ushered in crazy profits. Sadly, even as their golden age of animating had come, it didn't amount to much when the US military forced Walt into making moral-boosting films for the army during WWII, the smooth sailing never did last forever.

But when WWII ended, Disney was free to pick up steam again and knocked out a ton of the other Disney classics like Cinderella and Peter Pan, and he finally found smooth sailing that did last. The movies kept coming, the money was great, and he was doing what he loved. He designed and had built Disneyland which was of course, a grand success. Walt also began work on Disney World and EPCOT; however, when doctors did X-rays regarding an old injury of his, they discovered a tumor in one of his lungs. It was too late to save the lung and it had to be removed, and the tumor had already done serious damage to his body in general. His life expectancy plummeted, said expectancy being overestimated as well. This resulted in Walt unexpectedly ending up nearly dieing in his home, barely being revived and then hospitalized. Sadly, he ended up dead only a month later. An unfortunate and undeserved end to the legendary animator, indeed...

December 6th​

Yesterday, we had a good eight holidays, and a single birthday.



Gazpacho Day
Microwave Day
Put On Your Own Shoes Day
National Miner's Day
National Pawnbrokers Day
St. Nicholas' Day
Constitution Day (Spain)
Independence Day (Finland)
Ira Gershwin's Birthday



A few weeks back, we had Vichyssoise Day; yesterday was the time to celebrate yet another cold soup. Most cold soups generally were served in the summer after a hard day's labor and work before everyone had access to booze and soft drinks. This one in particular has roots in the times of old for Spain; so thus we have Gazpacho Day. Gazpacho is still a popular soup today in Spain, Portugal, and Central America in general. Just as vichyssoise you can opt to serve it warm (if you're interested in having it, we are in winter after all), but traditionally it's had cold. Since it's origins are way back with the Moors, you might of suspected the soup is a vegetable soup; meat ain't as common as veggies back in the day, and one wouldn't really want to put warm animal in a cold soup...


Ah yes, the microwave oven... Named after the wave frequency it produces, this machine trades deliciousness for absolute convenience. To celebrate one of many countless modern-day conveniences, Microwave Day is born. Way back in 1947 was it invented (and marketed by the very same company that pioneered the fridge, Amana), but it wasn't all-that convenient in use, and definitely not of convenient size, and thus wasn't really sold for home use. It took a solid 20 years for counter top microwave ovens like we see today to begin coming into existence, as well as into our homes in large numbers.

For anyone who doesn't know the science behind this wondrous device (of which I love to avoid, since as I said, food made in it is NOT delicious... =/), Microwaves work by creating and sending microwave radiation through objects inside said microwave oven. "RADIATION IS GOING THROUGH MY FOOD WTF?!" one might think, but indeed, the radiation is safe because it is of a lower frequency. Because microwaves don't have a very short wavelength, the molecules of your food are not ionized. Because the frequency of the microwave doesn't screw with an atom's particles, it merely excites the atoms in question due to the microwaves being absorbed into the substance they're passing through and causing science to happen. Said science is basically friction at a molecular level, causing the absorbed microwaves to be released as energy in the form of heat. And voila; you have warm food! If you understood all this, congratulations! You know simple science.


Put On Your Own Shoes Day isn't literal; it refers to some adults who've never grown up and expect **** handed to them on a platter (I'm looking at you, rich people with servants...). Whether they can't do something, or simply choose not to out of laziness, today is the day for them to stop being such a douche. 'Course, anyone who falls into this category isn't going to celebrate this day, obviously... Pointless holiday is pointless! =D


National Miner's Day honors miners as a whole. Mining is one of the dirtiest, unsafe, nasty, and generally shitty physical labors that have been widely available as a job. Even in modern day it's dangerous, so take a moment to think 'bout how dangerous it was back then. Unstable explosives were used. Shaft supports weren't always in the best condition, nor were they always installed very well. Work conditions sometimes involved lethal gases and such that, depending on the time period, workers may or may not knew about; and therefore died from disease and other problems. Most mining operations kept workers away from home for a long time, and often had workers going cross-country to get the job for the biggest mining events, such as the multiple western 1890 gold rushes, or the incredibly harsh gold rushes that occurred in Canada and Alaska. This day in particular is to remember the victims of a mining accident in 1907, the Monongah Mine disaster. This West Virginia mining tragedy was the worst in American history due to methane ignition further igniting the coal dust in multiple mines, causing one hell of a fireball to kill 362 workers. Miners helped build the world's economy (hey, it had it's ups at one point), and many have died unfortunate deaths, so this gets my holiday pick of the yesterday.


National Pawnbrokers Day celebrates the pawnbroker; an important piece of the economy indeed. People who want to pawn things off they don't want for quick cash or simply because they don't want the item in question get more than just junk lying around their house. Pawn shops of good repute can amass some very interesting items you could get at discount, or simply get nowhere else. That, and it's ****ing fun haggling and winning said haggle with pawnbrokers, I know from experience. Once got me a wooden ninjatō in perfect condition from an idiot who thought it was worth $15 (probably bought it for half of that or so) for $1.50. :lol:


And speaking of pawnbrokers, St. Nicholas' Day celebrates the pawnbroker saint, the inspiration for Santa Claus himself. Legend has it that Saint Nicholas was legendarily known for leaving secret gifts, such as leaving coins in the shoes of those who left said footwear outside their homes. One of the few saints I've no hesitation in giving a toast to, as generosity and gift giving in secret; the act of making people happy the reward in itself; is truly a grand thing. It's people like this that make me hate humanity a fraction less.


Spain's Constitution Day celebrates the first of multiple democratic constitutions Spain would adopt, back in 1978. This was Spain's true leap into democracy following a proper election in 1977, and was written by seven important political figures. Considering 88% of voters approved of the new constitution, there's little reason why this isn't a holiday of celebration.


Finland's Independence Day celebrates the day Finland declared itself to be independent in 1917. It took a full year for Russia to recognize it. Finland's movement for independence was inspired by all the riot and revolution going on in the same year, most of which was inspired in turn by Russia's 1905 Bloody Sunday.


Ira Gershwin is a famous lyricist of the 20th century; a dude that I've never actually heard of... I definitely know plenty of the songs he wrote, but I generally have no clue about whether or not the singer or a lyricist wrote 'em. I care for the music first and foremost, not where the content originated from, after all.


Funfact: Red Dead Redemption pays a sneaky (and thus an almost entirely unknown) tribute to the Monongah disaster in one of it's co-op missions.

December 7th​

Today, we've got a small five holidays.



Letter Writing Day
Cotton Candy Day
Pearl Harbor Day
Special Kids Day
International Civil Aviation Day



Letter Writing Day celebrates the beginnings of widespread literary skills, the UPS, you name it. I say **** all to letter writing since the digital age has been in effect for quite some time now, but the UPS could sure as **** use some support right about now. Quite a few people are about to lose their jobs once it goes bankrupt. =/ I sincerely hope the president and committee directing UPS cares more about the countless jobs they support, than saving their own financial skin, and hold on to their business as long as possible so that those jobs exist as long as possible.


Cotton Candy Day celebrates that delicious sugar confection that you'd have to be insane to not like. Most people think it's pure sugar that'l kill ya, but cotton candy's mostly air, sort of like ice cream. The sugar content really ain't that bad. Also, like many popular confections, cotton candy has existed for nigh a hundred years; give or take a few, anyways. Back when it was invented in either the end of the 19th century beginning of the 20th, it was labor-intense work lacking the convenient machines we have today, or the original primitive ones at all. T'was a treat for the rich, and the rich alone. But again, like most sweets, easy ways to produce it came into existence and every kid and their sibling could afford it every once in awhile. Finding hand-spun cotton candy is pretty rare aside from a carnival these days, but if you've never had any fresh, you really need to.


Pearl Harbor Day spawns from that Japanese air raid on Hawaii's Pearl Harbor that left roughly 3000 dead, exactly 70 years ago. This marked the fate of the US joining WWII, congress approving President Roosevelt's request for a declaration of war in just five days (**** like this takes time, y'know... since politics loves to waste time).


Special Kids Day has it's roots back in 1990, as a particular days for all the HURR-DURR kids out there to pay a visit to Santa early, without all the other brat American children getting pissed off because they have to wait an extra ten seconds more for a kid with special needs to get done with his turn on Santa's knee. Nowadays, it's a day of awareness on top of all that Christmas jazz.


International Civil Aviation Day celebrates, indeed, the importance of civilians being able to do some globe trotting thanks to planes. A grand day to celebrate before 9/11 and those damn safety procedures that followed, anywho... Ugh. Nowadays, it's really just a day of awareness for the importance of ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization. They're the dudes who make the rules and keep civvie flight safe and such; and also the ones to thank for the 9/11 airport security... -_-;


I decided I'm gonna go ahead and make a post 'bout a missed day every day regardless if there's demand for it or not; missed some good stuff, really. Post of the yesterday coming soon. ~

 

[Splash_King]

Yesterday's post is up. ♪ At the page's top.

Ah, it's good to be back...

 

[Mr. MR]

It's good to have you back!
That rat must have liked the taste of the internet.

 

[trollface]

Damn bro where where you? You missed some pretty craptacular stuff. Some weird farts galore guy spammed the **** out of this place. I imagine hes been done away with by now... Pretty funny.

Microwaves are pretty funny. I heard a story about a goober who was a night watchmen at some sort of satellite broadcast facility. On cold nights he would sit in front of the transmitters not knowing how they work, he just thought it was regular old heat coming of those whatchamajigs... One night he fell asleep and was literally microwaved to death. Hahaha Dont know if thats true or not...

Glad you're back! I like taking a break from work and reading these posts.
