I'm not telling my students this, but today is No Homework Day.
Actually, in my current job, I don't give homework. So every day is No Homework Day.
Today is also World Carnivorous Plant Day, which gives us all an excuse to watch this again...
That's Levi Stubbs from The Four Tops as the voice of Audrey II, in case you didn't know.
And it's Tourist Appreciation Day too. Which might make you appreciate these guys a little more...
Furthermore, it's also National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. In the words of Terry Hall... try wearing a cap!
Instead of any of that funny business, I'd advise teenagers to enjoy a nice Crepe Suzette today. Because, yes, hard as it may be to believe, it's also National Crepe Suzette Day.
I was shocked by how many songs there were featuring Crepe Suzettes in the title... including offerings from Danny Kaye, Kenneth Williams and Cyril Watters with The New Century Orchestra. Thank God for The Descendents.
You may choose to wash your crepe suzette down with a nice beverage. Which is good because it's also National Beverage Day. The word "beverage" always reminds me of The Dude...
And what is The Dude's Beverage of choice, that he really doesn't want to spill?
A White Russian, of course... that's vodka, kahlúa and double cream (milk powder will apparently suffice if you don't have any cream) over ice.
Please drink your White Russians responsibly. You can do what you like with your crepe suzettes.
Levi Stubbs as Audrey ll. Every day's a school day (but not one with homework apparently).
ReplyDeleteThere must be potential for a story in here somewhere involving all these themes together. A lot could happen in just one day!
