reesetee That could be tricky. For example, on which list would you put New Year's Day (Jan. 1st)? Some people find it utterly useless, while others plan for it for months.
I tend to stay away from the latter group. ;-) Jun 20, 2007
uselessness Boxing Day? Guy Fawkes Day? Chinese New Year? Okay, maybe they're not Juneteenth, but come on. ;-) Jun 20, 2007
jennarenn Then I would need to go find some other useful holidays. Those are often less fun. Jun 20, 2007
uselessness Create a "useful holidays" list? I won't be offended if I'm not allowed there. Jun 20, 2007
jennarenn Ok, so I want to add Juneteenth, but it would seem rather insensitive to put it on a list of "useless" holidays. Any suggestions? Jun 20, 2007
reesetee Not to worry. Feb 25, 2007
jennarenn Oops! Sorry reestee. :) Feb 25, 2007
reesetee Ah, that's okay--but thanks, AZ. They do take it seriously where they celebrate it, so I suppose it's useless only to the rest of us. :-) Feb 21, 2007
abraxaszugzwang it was reesetee's suggestion. Feb 21, 2007
jennarenn wow, that's one I'd never heard of. Good one Abraxas. Feb 21, 2007
reesetee Amazing how it all started, isn't it? Feb 19, 2007
abraxaszugzwang I was reading up on this again yesterday. Feb 19, 2007
reesetee John Frum Day! Well, I don't imagine it's useless in Vanuatu...so maybe not. :-) But it sure is interesting. Feb 19, 2007
chained_bear Pocky has a holiday?! Dude, sign me up! Feb 19, 2007
uselessness This is my kind of list. Feb 19, 2007
jennarenn Pepero day?
Sounds utterly useless. Feb 19, 2007
abraxaszugzwang groundhog day, Pepero Day Feb 19, 2007
