Date Mongering

Yes, it's fun. But like with so many other fun things, it gets into overkill all too quickly.

This week alone we had Pi Day, March 14, or 3.14. An obvious math pun, following an entire day after 313 Day, March 13, celebrated (if you can call it that) in Detroit because our area code is 313. And everybody knows May 4, or May Fourth, as Star Wars Day. Our own dear Upper Peninsula likes September 6, or 906, since that's da UP's area code. 

I'm sure more will be coming out of the woodwork, because that's exactly how these things work. Anyone busy 824? I hear it'll be a blast.

August 8

August Eighth. It strikes me that something should go with that.

We can March Fourth. We can May the Fourth. What can we August Eighth?

Are there any other days of the year where we might might come up with puns and jokes? Does pi day, March 14, count? I don't see why it shouldn't.

Think about it please, just so I'm not the only one doing it.
