CALENDAR OF ODD EVENTS
-- Eccentric events and odd occasions to celebrate in June 2005
'
If June is 'bust'n out all over', you're probably a green-thumb
type, a frisky cowpoke, or perhaps just a 'Hot Foot powder'
aficionado.
On the other hand, maybe you're one of those testy technical types
who are rather relieved to know that we're half way through the
Gregorian calendar.
Besides celebrating 'Clean Air' day (time to let those soiled socks
in one's bottom drawer see the light of day), it's also time to
honor fathers everywhere by giving them a token of your
appreciation 'a flipping flyswatter!
So without further adieu, before bidding a fond farewell and after
a few giggling good-byes'perhaps take a glance at what's in store
for the jolly month of June.
June 1 ' CLEAN AIR APPRECIATION DAY (Time to honor those with a
compelling need to air their dirty linen in public or engage in a
natural urge to break wind in elevators).
June 2 ' NO IMPROVEMENT NECESSARY DAY (For all those 'I'm all right
Jack/Jill' people you know who are fine and dandy just the way they
are thank you!)
June 3 ' PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD DAY (Vanquishing one's veggies, eating
giggling Jell-O with a fork and mashed mayhem never looked like so
much fun!)
June 4 ' GEMINI APPRECIATION DAY (Time to honor all those heavenly
twins you know who are also restless, impractical, gossipy, nervous
and a tad capricious or fickle).
June 5 ' SUCCESS OBJECT RECOGNITION DAY (Time to flaunt whatever
makes you feel like a King or Queen including your newly renovated
throne room if you wish).
June 6 ' NATIONAL KICK-THE-CAN DAY (When the going gets tough, it's
nice to know one can harrumph, utter a hearty grunt, or kick the
daylights out of a trash can).
June 7 ' INTERNATIONAL BELLY-DANCING DAY (It's never too late to
flaunt your flab, wag your tail and do the hoochy-koochy 'cause
that's what life's all about!)
ALL I WANT FROM SANTY IS MY SANITY
ALL I WANT FROM 'SANTY' IS MY SANITY
Rev. James L. Snyder
Christmas is the one time of the year when it is okay to be
traditional. That .....
June 8 ' SANDBOX APPRECIATION DAY (Time to whip out the shovels,
pails, beach balls and water balloons; play fair 'no pulling hair
and no tattle-tales please!)
June 9 ' JUG BAND DAY (For all those folks who can't hold a tune
but can play a kazoo, a pennywhistle, and drum on pots'now who says
that aint' music!)

Goddess-of-Grin-&-Bear-It and those who yank chompers all day
long for a living).
June 11 ' FINGERNAIL FASHION DAY (Time to decorate those delightful
digits with clashing colors, stylish sparkle, or perhaps even
super-size them for a change!)
June 12 ' NOT-YOUR-AVERAGE-ART DAY (A fine way to honor the messy
munchkin inside you with plenty of papier-m''finger-paints, or
oodles of play-doh!)
June 13 ' TEFLON SUIT APPRECIATION DAY (In honor of those who
manage to survive by letting all manner of things slide off their
backs and onto someone else's!)
June 14 ' NAUGHTY T-SHIRT DAY (A way to pacify the
politically-incorrect people in your life who have a bad habit of
buying novelty t-shirts with raunchy, ribald retorts).
June 15 ' LOOPY LIBRARY DAY (Time to look for a book with a really
weird title to amaze your friends, family, or colleagues at work
just to see the look on their faces!)
June 16 ' HOITY-TOITY, HIGHFALUTIN & HIGH-MUCK-A-MUCK
APPRECIATION DAY (Time to honor all the la-di-da ladies you know
not to mention the other pompous, pretentious and puffed up people,
flighty and frivolous folks or snobby and snooty sorts by throwing
them all a stylish swine & dirty-foot cheese party of
course!)
June 17 ' NATIONAL SWING & TEETER-TOTTER APPRECIATION DAY (Time
to test every playground swing and teeter-totter in town just for
the heck of it!)

things that people do that nearly drive you to drink, 'up a wall'or
maybe right round the bend).
All That Flapping About Has To Stop
What a pleasant man that Rick Stein is. Only the other night, as I
tucked into Mrs Holmes' latest offering and flicked through the
channels .....
June 19 ' SIR WALTER RALEIGH APPRECIATION DAY (A time to honor all
patriarchs who engage in shameless acts of chivalry and wanton acts
of gallantry like giving up their seat or opening doors for a
woman, bestowing flowers upon the fair sex and laying down of one's
coat in a pretty big puddle to impress those feisty feminists).
June 20 ' HASTY PUDDING DAY (There are only got three things in the
cupboard and you have to make a tasty treat in five minutes'what's
the recipe and the ingredients')
June 21 ' INTERNATIONAL HARUM-SCARUM DAY (A day of utterly reckless
abandon, with no busybodies, monitors, or supervisors in sight'what
are you doing')

celebrate the longest day of the year not to mention tidy up your

ready-made, cheap or shoddy thing to someone who truly deserves

scraps of waste paper in the woods and then invite some flummoxed
friends along to follow the trail).

hocus-pocus inclined who aren't into hand-holding, handsprings, or

life; not recommended for precocious pin-heads or members of the
Flat Earth Society).

recognition of people who love people and their annoying little
habit of inserting smiley-faces in the signature line of every
email or hand-written note they send you!)

your top three 'must-haves' on your exceedingly long Christmas Wish
List this year!)

'which one is it')
