Skunks Need
Love, Too Day
Dried Out Carcass of a Dead Skunk Found Under the Shed Smileys
One Smiley mid belly.
The other just below the jaw.
“I must find out what this ‘pew’ means. Every time I appear [scanning a dictionary]. Pew, pew. Ah, here it is. Pew. It means… No! No, not me! C’est les ridiculous. C’est impossible!” ~ Pepe lé Pew (Romantic French Skunk, Looney Tunes).
It’s iPod Day. Do people still have those? Or does everyone just use their phones, as their MP3 player, now a days? Just curious how quickly we abandon old technologies for new ones.
The Swallows depart from San Juan Capistrano today, as they have every year. They start their 6,000 mile journey to their winter home in Goya, Corrientes, Argentina.
Birthday wishes to Weird Al, born this day in 1959. Al, if I were you I’d celebrate with a Boston Cream Pie, since it is also a day of celebrating that yummy dessert. I remember on my 12th birthday I chose a Boston Cream Pie for my party. So yummy!
Other birthday peeps are Johnny Carson (1925) and Gertrude Ederle (1906). If you don’t know who Gertrude is, here’s a hint: Diana Nyad would surely know who she was.
And how about it’s also TV Talk Show Host Day? Do you think this day was set to coincide with Johnny‘s birthday?
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley. There we begin Peace, Friendship, and Goodwill Week.
