Not sure where y'all are located but for those of you reading the blog in Canada (which appears to be most of you - my viewership mimics that of Degrassi High (and yes, that includes Kevin Smith, he is an "early adopter" from the Americans)) it is a long weekend. August Long is probably one of the best holidays in my mind because it has no purpose other than the fact that having a long weekend in August is like Ween - it rocks. While other holidays take their direction from dead presidents who hooked up with Marilyn Monroe and a jewish carpenter called Jesus, August Long exists simply for the fact that it is pleasurable (like the B-52's). I think we can all aspire to "do what feels right" and this is a big win in that category.
For those of you who do not get an extended long weekend it is because:
a) you live in a communist country and Stalin/Mao/Marx/Castro did not do anything notable at the beginning of August.
b) you live in an Asian country and giving you a day off would hurt the goal of having you work 3450 hours in a year.
or c) you are in Americana and since the unemployment rate is constantly increasing there is no reason to add new public holidays since most people aren't working anyhow.
That being said long weekends can be dangerous times. With all the free time that an extra day afforded me I decided to venture into the "outdoors" where I was attacked by "death rays" from the sun which left me burnt and looking like a red smurf. Apparently Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam, but he does want to attack me with them - seems hypocritical but who am I to judge.
Anyhow, just wanted to leave y'all with some hard hitting questions to answer on this longest of long weekends (or regular ass weekend for international viewers).
Who does Jesus want for a sunbeam?
Would Jesus want Al "Chainsaw" Dunlap the ex CFO of Sunbeam?
Do y'all put your clothes in the dryer or hang them to dry?
Which holidays are better: religious ones or ones based on politicians?
Would all holidays be better if you fired off fireworks?
Would it be disrespectful to light fireworks on Easter?
Was Jesus actually a zombie or is it just a "coincidence" that he came back to life and moved a boulder?
What is your favorite zombie movie?
