• Today Is... Lumpy Rug Day!

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Sunday, May 03, 2026 21:44:38
    This day is to encourage the custom of teasing and trigots
    for shoving unwelcome facts under the rug.

    Trigots are a knitted fabric with fine vertical ribs on the front and horizontal ribs on the
    back, often used for garments.

    All these 'interesting' (?) special days, and I am devistated that
    you missed one..

    Today, the 4th of May, is the day when around the world many have
    wild usually costume parties to celebrate the Starwars movies..

    If you ask them why it's celebrated on this day, since it's not
    the anniversary of any movie release or other event, their reply
    to that will be... "May the 4th be with you!".. <G>

    BTW.. I didn't make this up. It was on the National news.. B)

    It is also Dave Brubeck day because it is 5/4, like the musical time
    signature. ;)

    You are correct, sir! Although I have never even seen one Star Wars flick, I realize that it is a long established tradition to celebrate it. Perhaps next year I will remember <g>.

    I'm not a huge fan of those types of movies but I have seen most of
    the ones that were broadcast on TV where I could see them for free.

    You must have quite a collection of these things unless you are
    getting them from another source.. If so maybe you should let
    them know about this one.. B)
