June 23: Today is June 23, Rope Day. Becoming a veteran sailor is a hard
thing to accomplish. You have to learn how to read sand waves and tie special
knots. That reminds me of Volume 3 of the [Disaster Girl of the Wasteland]
series when the plot involved a special knot only known to sailors...

Hmm, why does my version of rope day have NOTHING to do with sailors?

I blame the Flemish.

June 24: Today is June 24, the summer solstice. With every arrival of summer,
I recall memories of that man... The man that left me cold with jokes that
were so stupid, you can stick coal up his nostrils and get a black pearl in
a week.

June 25: Today is June 25, King Arctica Day. Poor King Arctica... He was
caught by the demons and was forced to beg for mercy. He tried to appease
them with the one dance he knew, but was left to die from starvation.
Today, we are to soothe the king's soul by dancing the king's dance.

June 26: Today is June 26, Nervous Twitching Day. Today we honor King
Arctica and Emperor Junevieve, both of which achieved their status by
perfecting the art of twitching nervously.

June 27: Today is June 27, Giant Stag Beetle Day. General Bartholomew
loved stag beetle so much, he made stag beetle armies and stag beetle
poems. In return for his love, a giant stag beetle threw himself in
front of a flying bullet to protect the General and was killed in
action. Today is a day to honor love that crosses the wall of species...

June 28: Today is June 28, Electronic Engineering Day. Holly loved
electronic engineering for the smell of melting solder. As she
continued to pursue the smell of solder, she became a famous engineer.

Doesn't quite sound like the right type of engineering . . .

And what a motivation, to boot! Not a single inclination towards lethal devices, how sad. I mean, it's easy enough to wire up an electric mousetrap (just hook the wires to a metal plate, set the cheese on a little rubber tile on it, pump in the juice, making sure that your wiring is NOT exposed, and presto!) . . . but then, I've probably got the wrong one, as well. Still, it was fun to think about~ . . .

Hey holmes, some people like solder. Don't be hatin'.

Today is June 29, Twin's Day. Considering the fact that twins
can synchronize their minds, twins boast the world's fastest communication
speed. Today is the day this theory was established and caused a major
sensation at the annual Telepathic Mage Convention.

Where's the convention held annually?

Boot Hill.

June 30: Today is June 30, Scout Day. There once was a commander who tried
to send his troops forward without deploying scouts first. When the
commander checked up on his troops before the advance, all of his
soldiers were eating cookies and would not move. The scout had baked
cookies for everyone, bored from having so much free time. Scout Day
was named by them to remind us of this lesson.

Where the fuck is Reisen Bran? His holidays were awesome

TWO SCOOPS!

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #42 on:** July 01, 2009, 04:38:33 AM »

And Reisen Bran was a really cool pun. =]

July 1: Today is July 1, Bison Day. I don't know about you, but the
name bison reminds me of python. Bison and python. Maybe I can make a
nursery rhyme about them.

July 1: Canada day eh?

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #44 on:** July 02, 2009, 04:17:36 AM »

July 2: Today is July 2, Stew Day. Today we gather around a big pot over
a campfire to enjoy the food and company of friends. Think of it as a
dinner party for the great outdoors.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #45 on:** July 03, 2009, 05:23:04 AM »

July 3: Today is July 3, Fruit Day. Do we eat fruit today? Good question.
Let me give you a fruity answer... Sorry for the bad joke. I can tell my
babbling is utterly fruitless.

Also it's my Dad's birthday.
WISH HIM WELL.

Youse guys are the best. =]

July 4: Today is July 4, Courage Day. Once there was a boy who mustered up
the courage to shoplift a toy called Deluxe Justine. He proudly placed it
on his shelf like a trophy. The next morning, the boy was utterly surprised
to see Justine standing by his pillow. By the third day, the toy even grew
out hair. So the boy decided to repent. He found the courage to return the
toy to the shopkeeper. Remember kids. Shoplifting is stealing.

I'm surprised CN doesn't have a marathon of that going.

Meanwhile, I'm pondering why you forgot to mention that it's also a certain obvious American holiday. News at 11.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #50 on:** July 05, 2009, 04:03:51 AM »

There was another holiday on the 4th???

July 5: Today is July 5, Last Scene Day. Remember, Last Scene Day is not a
day to search for missing persons. That's Last Seen Day.

July 6: Today is July 6, Carbonara Day. I love spaghetti carbonara. The name
carbonara is so poetic and delicious sounding. It makes my mouth water.

July 7: Today is July 7, Long Distance Couples Day. Long distance
relationships are especially difficult for couples in love. They're
impossible to sustain expect for dreamers, but dream too much and you'll
go delusional. And, some say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
By the way, I love acting like a know-it-all.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #53 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:01:14 AM »

Today is July 8, Adventurer Day. Adventurers are rare people fated
to die unless they continue adventuring, just as sharks must continue
swimming to survive. To protect this rare species from extinction, radio
programs release bits of adventure rumors to spark the adventurer spirit.
Just the other day, they broadcasted news about another floor discovered
in the Ruins of Memory! But this could be just another groundless rumor.

I see what you did there.

But, I can't help but feel that this might explain why I've been playing Spelunky so much today...

But you didn't see where I stole your wallet.

July 9: Today is July 9, Teacher's Day. Ms. Mintching is a strict teacher.
Ms. Muntching is a plump teacher. Mr. Guntching is my favourite teacher.
He has such a nice build... Ahh.

. . . I will ignore that squicktacular bit and instead say: why no mention of Ms. Kamishirasawa?

July 10: Today is July 10, Nut Day. Yes, we're talking about those nuts
you find lying around ARM shops. Take some of these nuts and put them
between two slices of rye bread. Enjoy the crunching sensation with
every bite.

Of course, you should only do so knowing that your dentist will enjoy it more than you will.

As will ~~Lucy~~ Purjew.

This thread should seriously be locked until Reisen Bran shows back up again.
