Quarter 3 Post 10- Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day

Vaugh, S.W.. "Obscure Holidays You Never Needed to Know About". American Chronicle. 3 March 2009 .

There are a TON of really weird holidays. Like December is Bingo’s Birthday Month, I think its sposed to be like “there was a farmer who had a cow and bingo was his name-o” bingo but I’m not sure. And December 1st is Hypnotize Yourself Out of Pain Now Day, December 1st seems like a really weird day to have that but it’s a weird holiday so whatever. And National Whiner’s Day is December 26th, I wonder why… January is National Radon Action Month and it obviously isn’t very good because I had no idea the US had a problem with radon. February is national Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month. And the 13th-19 is Jell-O Week. Then there’s Wave All Your Fingers at your Neighbor Day on the 7th. Get a Different Name Day is on the 13th, the examples on the website are, Goober Liverchunks, Booger Gigglebutt, and Cheeseball Wafflefanny all from Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants. My favorite one is Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day which is on the 20th. A hoody-hoo is either a shout of joy made by LARPers (live action role players) or a call for the killaz according to Master P. I think it’s really sad that all you have to do to get a national holiday is buy a copy of Chase’s Calendar Events and fill out an application form to “have your special day commemorated forever in print”.
