Sometimes I'm spoiled for choice with this feature.
Today is L. Ron Hubbard Day... so I hope you're all practicing some scientology in his honour.
What if you're wrong
But then so am I?
And what really happens when we die?
And what if L. Ron Hubbard, he was right?
Well, that would bum me out
It's also Smart & Sexy Day... "a special moment to recognize and embrace the diverse intelligence and talents that flourish within each of us."
Whatever.
Give yourself a good laugh and watch that video if you've not seen it in awhile. Kenny Everett springs to mind.
Not only that, but it's National Coconut Torte Day. A day to contemplate sit in the dessert which "sits in that delicious gray area between cake and pastry: rich like a cake, structured like a layer dessert, and often dressed up enough to look like it belongs in a bakery window."
I don't think I've ever eaten a coconut torte. Have I been missing out.
It's National Jewel Day too - I did my quiz about jewels this week, but it wasn't a particularly interesting subject so I won't bother you guys with it.
It's also (no, I'm not making any of these up): National Earmuff Day, International Riesling Day, National Open An Umbrella Indoors Day (on Friday the 13th... are you mad!?!), National Freelancers Day and World Sleep Day.
But all of these wonderful celebrations are trumped (I don't like using that verb any more, even in terms of metaphorical card games) by the aforementioned Bad Luck Friday... our second in a row, thanks to February's insistence on being exactly four weeks long (most of the time).
Good luck getting through it!
Actually, there are surprisingly few decent songs about Friday 13th. Thank god then for little Bob Smith, who's clearly having another Bad Hair Day in this video... no change there then.
I’m neither a Scientologist nor smart & sexy, I was taught not to eat a torte, sleep and I are estranged and, of the rest, I’m qualifying headphones as ear muffs so I can celebrate something today other than bad luck!
ReplyDeleteA fine selection of tunes as well, thanks, Rol!
So many silly days to celebrate. Like the sound of coconut torte but never seen one in our local bakery.
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of Rod Stewart in the '70s but by this time he was ripe for parodies. He used to be a mousey haired, pasty skinned, football loving Londoner but he went to California and found out that Blondes Have More Fun.
