QOTD: very special day

question of the day: what other famous person from history deserves to have a national holiday, and why?

Elvis. Because anyone that wears a gold lame suit and still looks kinda hot deserves a holiday.

I've drawn a blank... I guess no one. Maybe Rosa Parks. For the most part, once you leave elementary school these holidays mean nothing more then a day off from work and an excuse to get drunk on a Sunday night.

Jan 8th. Elvis Presley. Do I really need to explain why?

what I want to know is... how come our military gets two holidays (labor day and memorial day) but Jesus only gets one (christmas day) ? Isn't that F'ed up ?

Me...cause I'm an awesome shepherd

i think in the states...we should get the monday after the superbowl off.

gandhi - cause he was one kickass person!

juan valdez...he makes good coffee and shares my affection of hookers

Baby Huey for National Stupid Day

Bob Hope... for all he's done to support our military throughout his life.

Whoever was instrumental in making the lousiana purchase. That/those people need a day to be designated. As I see it they made USA possible

Michael Jordan, for no reason at all other than he's the greatest athlete that this nation has ever seen.

Hugh Heffner -- he revolutionized the two things long considered taboo in our society: hot naked women, and orgies. That man deserves his own month.

lewis and clark, for all their explorations, capt cook for his discoveries (and for being just about the only explorer to treat native peoples like humans), William Seward for Seward's folly, which turned out to be a great thing

Thomas Edison. Because he invented so many items that we still use today.

Maybe I'm a little jaded, but does it really matter? Do people actually care about any of these holidays? I didn't go out an honor MLK Jr. yesterday. In fact, I didn't think about him or the civil rights movement at all. When President's day comes around, I won't be thinking about GW or Abe Lincoln. The only remotely political figure I may think about is Sam Adams while the rest of the country is out shopping for hot President's Day sales. And besides, another national holiday means one less floating holiday for us.

Howard Stern. He made it acceptable for losers like me to be, well, losers. He gave us a collective voice. Plus, he took the potty humor to a whole new level by including such natural bodily faculties like farting, peeing and pooing. And gave society some of the most significant inventions like Tickle Chair and Robo Spanker. He is God!
