Gettin' Something Started...

National "Talk Like a Pirate Day" is coming up in three short days (ARRRR!), and it got me to thinking...

If we can have a day dedicated to talking like a pirate, why not something else that's even more fun?

I think it's time we got something started here. I hereby propose:

National Punch-A-Hippie Day.

What would work for a day? Or should we look broader, and make it Punch a Hippie month???

That is all.

Grow it slow. Start with "National Punch a Hippie Day", then bump it up to a week, then go for the whole month.

If you can swing it, get them to approve only the month(s) with 28 days in them. =)

This leaves me with a conundrum, you realize.

Since I came up with it, naturally the day to do it would be my birthday (4/21).

But do we really want to wait over 7 months for "National Punch A Hippie Day"?

Also, if it takes off, it would make sense to transition April to "National Punch A Hippie Month".

But I want a month with 31 days for 24 more hours of hippie-punching goodness...

I think that's actually 72 more hours of hippie-punching goodness than a 28 day month.

Fuck that, I'm having "Punch a Hippie Life" I'll stop when the last nail is seated in the coffin lid, thanx!!

Hell with it.

The Chinese are progressive, right? Just have another year added to the Chinese Zodiac:

The Year Of The Hippie Punch.

The icon for that year can be, well, JayG for having the idea in the first place!

Life's gonna suck in Berkley that year:)

Aw, man, I can't believe I missed a pirate day! The one day no one looks at me funny for saying things like "Athwart the hawse, yer bugger!"

We don't get much news at sea, but apparently there's now a National Hispanic History Month. It seems like we're running low on time; all the days are getting taken up by other causes. Best set Punch A Hippy Day soon, or it could get folded into something else, like they did to Presidents' Day.
