As soon as I was informed about this delicious fat-ass-y holiday, I immediately grabbed my shoes and headed out the door for one of these gluten, butter, and sugar-filled delights. I've always loved croissants, and the fact that there is a holiday centered around them makes me want to click my heels, but I don't know how, so I'll just eat this croissant instead.

Croissant Day is wonderful and all, but the stupid holiday I really look forward to every year is Groundhog Day. And it's ridiculous. As a country, we have decided that a groundhog is able to predict the future. I wonder what that groundhog is thinking. Probably, "Humans are a bunch of idiots." Do you think he gets tired of all the pressure? When he predicts a longer Winter, do you think he dreads the bad press he receives as a result of it?
While I fully support celebrating some silly holidays, I have stumbled upon some downright weird ones. Here is my favorite WTF holiday so far: Monkey Buffet Festival in Thailand
Yes, this is real. You can read about it here.
What are some of your favorite pointless, stupid, funny, or just plain weird holidays?
When I was in France, I found out that a neighbouring town had a festival for pigs. So of course we went and checked it out. My favourite part was seeing a man walking around the streets with a bunch of balloon pigs trailing after him levitating just above the ground. There were actual real life pigs there too but they all just sort of sat in a pen and didn't do anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that story, Anna. That's so funny. I can just picture a grown man with pig balloons trailing behind him. Also, I am jealous that you got to visit France.
DeleteHaha I love pointless holidays. So far the only one I've heard of that's cruel but cracks me up is "Smack a Ginger" Day!
ReplyDeleteHa ha Smack a Ginger Day! Thanks for sharing that one. Love it.
