Fool’s Paradise Day and Other Obsure Holidays

July 13, 2008

Embrace your geekness,
Listen to barbershop, and,
Read Fool’s Paradise.

 

Today is Barbershop Music Appreciation DayEmbrace Your Geekness Day, and Fool’s Paradise Day.

I actually do like barbershop music.  I like the harmonization of it.  I’m reminded of MAD TVs gangsta shop quartet skit; that’s a bit disturbing.  It’s unsettling to hear barbershop music talking about “capping someone with a gat”.

I’ve already talked about my views on the word geek.  But, despite that, today is a day for the nerds of the world, and that’s pretty neat.

Holiday Insights doesn’t mention the book, but that was what came to mind for me so I decided to include it in my haiku.
