Script Frenzy

Tomorrow Script Frenzy begins; a month-long event that challenges people to write 100 pages of scripted material.  Good luck to all who participate.

Bunsen Burner Day, etc.

Aw, Bunsen burners,
Great scientific lab tools
That make a hot flame.

 

It’s Bunsen Burner Day and National Clam on the Half Shell Day.

Take a Walk in the Park Day, etc.

A walk in the park
Can be a fun thing to do,
If it’s not too cold.

 

It’s National Doctor’s Day, I am in Control Day, and Take a Walk in the Park Day.

Unexpected Cold Snap

A cold snap has hit;
Cars got stranded in the snow;
Is it really March?

Smoke and Mirrors Day, etc.

It’s smoke and mirrors;
What they like to call magic,
Is just illusion.

 

It’s National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day and Smoke and Mirrors Day.

Something on a Stick Day

Something’s on a stick;
But what exactly is it?
Is it edible?

 

It’s Something on a Stick Day.  I’m reminded of a couple of comic routines.  One is of a talking jalapeño pepper on a stick performed by Jeff Dunham that I think I saw once on David Letterman; the other is a somewhat off color song called “We Got a Stick For That” sung by David Kilgore that I used to hear on Dr. Demento.

National “Joe” Day

If your name is Joe,
Today is just for you, so
Go celebrate it!

 

It’s National “Joe” Day.  According to Holiday Insights, it may be more about changing your name to Joe.

Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

It’s a great day to
Make up your own holiday,
So what will you choose?

 

It’s Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.

Moral Dilemma?

People have been talking a lot lately about embryonic stem cell research.  Well, I’ve come up with an idea that might satisfy both sides:  split the embryo samples in half and give one half to someone to implant and the other half to the scientists to do research with.  This way the genetic material has a chance at life and the scientists get a more diverse sampling to work with.  This could be done with any embryos, including the ones that would normally be implanted anyway, so that would be a benefit to the scientists.  Of course, anybody who was going to implant any of the embryos that have  genetic defects would have to be told about that beforehand.  But, surely some of the people who protest their destruction would be willing to volunteer, so that shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Pecan Day, etc.

Enjoy some pecans,
Possibly in a pie, or
Maybe have them plain.

 

It’s Pecan Day, Waffle Day, Feast of the Annunciation, and National Nutrition Month.  You could combine these a bit and have a feast of pecan waffles to celebrate with.
