Like the Catholic Church, I have revised the calendar, eliminated some saints and added others. It is now a lunar calendar, with one fixed-date holiday for each month, and an extra movable-date holiday for Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day.
January 6: Mr. Bean Day (Rowan Atkinson’s birthday)
February 24: Unsuccessful Voyage Day (Billy Zane’s birthday)
March 22: Shatmas (William Shatner’s birthday) *
First Sunday in April: Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day
April 18: Eric Roberts’ birthday.
May 1: Cousin Greg Day (Nicholas Braun’s birthday)
June 21: Count Floyd Day (Joe Flaherty’s birthday)
July 8: Hey Now Day (Jeffrey Tambor’s birthday)
August 18: Dalton Day (Patrick Swayze’s birthday)
Note: Dalton Eve (August 17th) occurs on Spicoli Day (Sean Penn’s birthday)
September 19: Talk Like a Pirate Day
October 24: Salieri Day (F. Murray Abraham’s birthday)
November 27: Booger Day (Curtis Armstrong’s birthday)
December 23: Festivus
* Shatmas is also my New Year’s Day. I am now living in the year 94 A.S. (Anno Shatner).
In an unrelated note, we celebrate Pi day twice a year. March 14th in the U.S., and July 22nd in Europe.
No Felix Unger Day?
Steak and BJ day seems to be missing from your calendar.
Recently a Shatner appearance got me thinking. How many actors who appeared in the original “Twilight Zone” are still with us? Off the top of my head I could name Shatner, Robert Redford and Carol Burnett. A little digging and I found that Robert Duvall had acted in one of the one hour episodes that I don’t recall. The beautiful Ruta Lee is still living and probably only ever displayed some cleavage but I would love to be proven wrong. I thought another lovely blond, Kathie Browne, was still living but I learned she has passed. I think I had her name confused with another actress whose name I can’t recall right now.
And of course more of the child actors are still living, including Billy Mumy, Mary Badham, Ron Howard and Veronica Cartwright. I’m sure I could have found others with a little more digging. Maybe some of the learned readers of this blog can chip in with some other names. Or even some of the unlearned.
