20. "Talk like a pirate day"
Tue Sep 10, 2024, 01:44 PM
Sep 2024
International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon,[1] who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (that is, in English with a stereotypical West Country accent).[2] It has since been adopted by the Pastafarianism movement.[3]


- wikipedia has everything!

Instead of answering your phone with "Hello", you'd say, "Avast!"

If I were being more serious, I'd pick the birthday of a famous scientist - maybe Darwin Day on Feb 12

Greet people with a smile and say hello to folks you meet, even if you don't know who they are...especially if you don't know who you are.

Alternate: National be Civil day: Try to be nice, OK?

24. A National Day to Honor Animals!
Tue Sep 10, 2024, 02:36 PM
Sep 2024

People could spend the day with their pets. We could have a service day for shelters where people would help animals be adopted, spend the day with animals, etc. We could clean up the environment for the wild animals. I know we have Earth Day, but I think we should have a day just for the animals where they are the focus.
