Thanksgiving, or “Turkey Day”, is the only holiday I can think of where we name the holiday after the victim.
I mean, we could call Easter “Jesus Day”…but that’d probably make some people angry.
In the same vein, here are some other holidays that have been re-named by yours truly in honor of their victims. See if you can figure out what their regular names are.
1. Single People’s Feelings Day
2. Little Children’s Tooth Enamel Day
3. Evergreen Trees Day
4. Chinese People’s Day
5. The Reputation of Anyone Who Is Remotely Irish Day
6. Logic Day
7. The People Who Work in Jobs That They Can’t Get a Day Off Day
8. Mother’s Day
9. Father’s Day
I’ll post the answers in one or two days.
In the meantime, happy Thanksgiving! Now get off the computer and go help your Mom with the turkey!
1. Valentine’s Day
2. First School Day (but it’s not just the enamel..)
3. Koala Bear Resettlement Day
4. International newspaper situated in Beijing
5. Sheepday
6. =If (If “Frege’s day” then “Fredag”) then “Friday”
7.Socialists’ Day
8. N/A
9. N/A
Other countries don’t kill turkeys for giving thanks to and remembering the occupation and extermination of indigenous people. We like to keep those things quiet.
Haha, welcome to America. We’re far too stupid to realize that we advertise our cruelty.

Strangely enough, BloonChick, you were very close on most of them BESIDES 8 and 9.
haha I know man.
And I was about to put Labor day but I thought EVERYONE got off Labor day but not everyone gets off on MLK day. Oh well.
and i cant believe that i missed halloween. geez
yeah i can’t believe you missed halloween, and i can’t believe i wasn’t here when this was posted so that i could post and then that way i could have tried and failed.
But that’s only your own fault, now isn’t it?
Totally
If you can’t believe it, why argue about it?
The proposition stands, however. BloonChick claims she missed it.
I’m not comfortable in taking sides or anything. Not without any solid, uncontested piece of evidence in my hands.
But until that special package arrives, we won’t know for sure. Could be true.
wait what?
