lesser known holidays

[Looney Runes]

Who might you find holding a barbecue, celebrating their own holiday every June 16th?


...Morticians/Taphophiles (National Morticians Day!)

[biggizmo54]

It is National Fudge Day! Won't the chocolate fudge just melt through the grill?
It is also Bloomsday...celebrating the life of Irish writer James Joyce, whom was the writer of the novel Ulysess. The name of Leopold Bloom was taken from the book to commemorate events which took place in the novel. It was also on that date in 1904 when Joyce he took his future wife on their first outing, to Dublin. I think her name was Nora Barnacle.

[Helphyre]

[irish and proud]

I was born on Gunpowder Day....weird, huh?:)

[iScreamUscreamWeAllScream]

I wonder what today is. lol

[Red Hot]

Today is Headache day!

[biggizmo54]

they call it Veteran's Day...the reality is...it is only a day which was made a National Holiday for Veterans who only get a yearly reminder of what horrors he or she went through for a country who doesn't really give a crap for mankind...call it civilized in one hand, then go over a kill the families of some innocent people we don't even know in the name of freedom because they aren't living their lives exactly as our goverment laid it out for them. In the name of freedom...we...in this country...go over and commit genocide for Bush? To HELL with Veteran's day. The true soldier and veteran would spit upon the concept of being commemorated for killing civilians in the name of our freedom.

[iScreamUscreamWeAllScream]

Whoa........

[irish and proud]

1916 rising

whoa:eek: its getting close to that time of yar again all irish people love:D
aniversary of the rebellion when irish boys all over dublin took arms against the enslaving and opressing english that enslaved and dictated over us the boys too took control of the largest building in dublin and declared

"give us freedom or preapare for war"

after a week of heavy shelling and out numbered 20 to 1
the irish boys surrendered under the circumstances of a short jail time later that night they were all executed by firing squad

but do u know why they rose arms?

so u didnt have to fear an army convoy driving by and shooting u dead

u didnt have to fear ur house being burned down by the english for robbing food to feed ur starving family

so irish women could feal safe walking home at night

so we wouldnt have to be drafted into the army and if u were irish instantely sent to the front lines awaiting certain death

so u didnt have to give over half of ur wages to the king of england

so u could play gaelic or hurling or rugby without fear of being shot dead for winning by english soldiers

so u could go to school

thats just some of why they raised arms and thats why there heroes

Not me, Red. I lost enough blood the other night.

Are you ok? Did you get hurt?:eek:
Perhaps you had a blood lust fest with a few vapirettes??:D

[joker jr.]

Are you ok? Did you get hurt?:eek:
Perhaps you had a blood lust fest with a few vapirettes??:D

Nah, just a nose bleed. It lasted a long time though, and it was quite a gusher unlike usual.
The sink was covered in blood in only a few seconds. Judging by how many peices of paper I soaked, and how much was in the sink it was about a half a pint, maybe a little more.

Only bad thing that really happened is I stained my Monty Python shirt. :(

But yeah; I have a family history of easily aquiring nose bleeds. Both my grandfather and I had to get ours cauterized. His of course was done the oldfashioned way with fire; Mine was chemical. Odd thing is, it just got worse after they did it for me. I just bled about 3 times everyday afterwards.

It's been really dry here in California. I despise it. Along with that it's really depressing and disgusting to look at the sky; There's so much pollution that it's barely even blue anymore. It's just so.. Pale.
GAH!

But no - No vampirettes (Or Vampires ;D) for me.

[Red Hot]

I am sorry to hear that, JJ! A vampirette would be so much more fun!!

[joker jr.]

Yes, yes indeed.
