29th February should be a public holiday - and I mean a real
public holiday, with no shops open, just so that once every
four years people have a day out of their normal lives.
And there will be a rule that if you leave the house on
this day, you must wear a hat. The world would be a better
place if more people wore hats.

Random person in a hat.

Another random hat wearer.

Slightly more off-beat millinery but still a hat, I think.

Another hat, another madman.

I'm not convinced so far! [DrBob, Feb 13 2012, last modified Feb 15 2012]

I don't love the idea but like it enough to cancel that fishbone. |
|
| |
International Ministry of Silly Walks Day. |
|
| |
How is that day relevant to Mangolians ? |
|
| |
Everyone has to leap around with hats on their feet and shoes on their hands. |
|
| |
Let's see...what leaps? Oh yeah, frogs. Frogs leap. So
people must wear frog hats, while leaping, for leap
year. But only if you leave your house, as hippo
stated. |
|
| |
The hat should be a fez. Fezzes are cool. |
|
| |
Pirates of Penzance hats? |
|
| |
Consider your answer carefully, for posession of a croissant turns upon it. |

I'm glad somebody agrees with me. F@€#ing JFK. |
|
| |
Actually, I meant how he killed the hat in American men's
fashion by not wearing one to his inauguration. I take no
issue with his philandering, seeing as he's dead and being
offended by it would be a waste of my time. But I'm pretty
bitter about the hat thing. |
|
| |
Hats are good, they help make the tinfoil less obvious. |
|
| |
Not an original idea as someone in the fifteenth century said the New World would be a better place if more people wore hats. |
|
| |
+ I'm all for the holiday, but can go either way on the hat...I mean, maybe if it twas a very special, leap year kind of hat... |
|
| |
If you make it a requirement that I wear a hat, I will personally stuff your hat so far down your throat that I'll get bile on my elbow. |
|
| |
Aside from that, let the party roll! :-D |
|
| |
I have to bone this because I know that the Powers that Be would use this new public holiday to replace one that currently falls on a different day of the year. |
|
| |
Psalm 97 must be one of those imprecatory Psalms... |
|
| |
[Alterother] Have you considered conversion to
Judaism? Not for yourself; I mean forced conversion
for everyone else. |
|
| |
What about Sikhs ? Thay already wear turbans. |
|
| |
The pubs, [hippo]. We're still waiting to hear if the pubs will be open. |
|
| |
What about Geeks? They already wear turbines. |
|
| |
[DrBob]'s been at the Da Vinci Code again. |
|
| |
Blessed are the Geeks, for they shall inherit the Earth ... |
|
| |
If people want to open their business, let them open. This holiday closing nonsense is getting worse. And I will wear a hat on any day I choose, or not, as the case goes. |
|
| |
I like the idea of acknowledging the day somehow but not with this required silliness. Why does everything have to be a holiday? |
|
| |
You kidding? Everyone likes a party. There aren't enough mandatory celebrations in the calendar. Especially at this time of year... Christmas is long past and the next mandatory celebration day is far in the future. |
|
| |
//Why does everything have to be a holiday?//
Because life is already grim & full of despair and pointless labouring enough. |
|
| |
Nothing against partying. If you want to close shop and send your workers home for Feb 29, please do so. My objection is with the requirement of it (as it is for any celebration made "mandatory"). |
|
| |
Well, celebrating isn't mandatory, just the closing down. If it's not compulsory for everyone then the likelihood is that it won't happen for anyone. It's a bit like Sunday opening for supermarkets. In theory, working Sundays is entirely voluntary, in practise it is more like a staff loyalty test. |
|
| |
I'm very pro-hat - especially *brimmed* hats - the bobble and the cap (and to some extent, the furry round russian-style hat) are not really all that rare these days - what seems to require some serious resurgence is brims. |
|
| |
Also, I hold that DrBob's evidential attempt to link hat-wearing with undesirable characteristics should be disallowed from the court as purely circumstantial. Jesus very likely wore a hat, as did Mother Theresa, Brian Blessed and a great number of Pirates, Vikings and Ninjas. Mimes rarely wear hats (the beret is disallowed, having recently been recategorised as a sausage under EU legislation) and they're bonkers. |
|
| |
Ha! A laughable attempt to disguise the evil inclinations of all hat wearers. It won't be long, I suspect, before you'll be claiming that mimes rarely get trapped in telephone boxes. |
|
| |
I'm wondering why no one has mentioned *mandatory leaping*... |
|
| |
I sort of did. Expecting everyone to do as I say. But
mandatory, no. |
|
| |
If we named it 'Some' day then we'd have a day off work to do all those things we all put off until someday. |
|
| |
Article 1: There shall be hats. |
|
| |
Article 2: Non-hat wearers shall not be persecuted, though
they may be ridiculed. |
|
| |
Article 3: Free rhinoceros with any purchase $50 or over. |
|
| |
Disappointed this idea hasn’t been baked yet |
|
| |
Does it really need to be said a third time? I think not. |
