[U4ea]

ouch?

[F Horn of Valere]

My sister taught me to suck blood once!

 

I was camping and got a cut, so she told me to suck my blood to stop the bleeding. It was really good!!!

[twinflower]

Horn you are just so incredibly strange at times...must be why we love you!!!

 

I will look for a special blood sucking day for you!!!

 

Well here it is!  THe day you've all been waiting for....yup National NUDE day!!  *laughs*  You all celebrate it however the whim takes you!!! 

 

It is also BASTILLE DAY...from Wikipedia we learn:

 

14 July is the French Bastille day, simply called 14 Juillet or less commonly but more officially Fête nationale (though it is generally referred to as Bastille Day in English). Many cities hold fireworks during the night. Many dancing parties are organised (bals du 14 juillet) and it is customary that firefighters organise them (bals des pompiers). Those celebrations take place from 13 July at night to 14 July.

 

The day officially celebrates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, though it is often associated, even in France, with the Storming of the Bastille. Military parades, called Défilés du 14 juillet, are held on the morning of 14 July, the largest of which takes place on the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic.

whoo-hoo! Nude Day... will have to be celebrated elsewhere, I think. *laughs* Ah, well, there's always a catch, right? ;)

 

Storm the Bastille! *grins*

[F Horn of Valere]

Well France DOES have nude beaches..

[twinflower]

*laughs*  Viva le France!!!

 

Today we celebrate.."be a Dork day"  easy enough for some of us..*giggles and pokes horn*

 

It is also National Tapioca Pudding day...which I just made some!  It's good stuff, havn't had it in a long time!!

 

Just out of curiosity I wondered where all these weird and goofy holidays come from..turns out ANYONE can apply for a "special day": 

 

Weird and Wacky Holidays

 

Celebrate All Year

When most of us think of holidays, we think of days like Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years or Labor Day. Most of us don't think of Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, National Superhero Day or Save the Rhino Day. Yet these observances are just as official as any other holiday. We just don't get to take these days off school.

 

Where Do these Wacky Days Come From?

Anyone can apply to their government or to the United Nations to have their day formalized. Unless the day is racist, sexist or otherwise hateful, it is usually accepted. This has led to some pretty strange holidays but making these days official also takes up a lot of time in the US congress.

 

Maybe we should apply for an official KIN DAY?!?

[F Horn of Valere]

TAPIOCA!!!

 

 

oooo... and how does one ask for such a day?

[U4ea]

*laughs* You can apply for a day, huh? That sounds really interesting... *smirks and ponders what day she would pick*

 

So, let's see... I think I can do "be a dork" day. Does being married to one count? *smirks*

[F Horn of Valere]

Orange and Black day!

[twinflower]

*just laughs*

 

I'm not sure Horn...I will look, but I think it's just a form you fill out and the reason for the day....

 

Now today is just awesome..it is..NATIONAL JUGGLING DAY!

 

Now i can juggle, not really, but a little bit for my clowing act.  LOL it is a WoT type thing too..we could call this Thom Merrilin day since he, of course taught the boys to juggle and was a master himself!  Here are some simple juggling instructions for you to try out!

 

How to Juggle

 

Now..let's juggle!!!

 

Have Fun!!

 

 

*bounces and grins*  and just because this is Celebrate with Twinnie..I invite you all to celebrate with me...I will have a new Great Nephew by this evening!!  My Neice is delivering her first baby, by C-Section, at 5pm today.  A boy, Patrick Liam!!!!  I can hardly wait to meet him!!!

 

 

[F Horn of Valere]

lol do you have to have a good reason?

[twinflower]

you know i don't think so horn!  lol  i can't think of a single good reason for national yellow pig day....

[F Horn of Valere]

That is because yellow is a nasty U of Oregon color..

[twinflower]

yah..yellow is almost as nasty as orange...

[F Horn of Valere]

*gasp* BLASPHEMY!

[U4ea]

*shakes her head and laughs* You know the only place I like orange? In my flowers! Bird of Paradise, my day lilies and this awesome tropical thing on my porch are all orange. Everywhere else... BLAH!

[F Horn of Valere]

what about in a sunset?

[twinflower]

orange does have it's uses...an Orange wouldn't be tasty if it was green, and in sunsets and for halloween and fall decorating, as Lor said in some flowers...but as Clothing?  to paint the Living room..(my mother-in-laws living room is a shade of orange..blech)

 

Today is actually kind of an orange day...It's national Peach Ice Cream day!!!  Yummy!!  I have some peach sherbert..which is very close!!
