I would like to propose that August 10 be declared a public holiday. Sure, this year it is a sunday, but while the .5bakery is still alive and kicking, we should celebrate the portal that we spend so much time on.
<ulterior motive>Plus, there could never be enough public holidays IMHO</ulterior motive>-- reap, Aug 10 2003 Happy Birthday Halfbakery http://www.halfbake...rthday_20HalfbakeryAugust 10 is a special day. :) [reap, Oct 04 2004] 5th System Administrator Appreciation Day http://www.sysadminday.com/That's right, it's TODAY. [bristolz, Oct 04 2004] Why are you apologizing to me? I like public holidays...
many days later: Oh! Ok. Thanks. : )-- k_sra, Aug 11 2003 + for the idea, and for more national holidays in general.-- jonthegeologist, Aug 11 2003 reap, I believe you mean "apologies to sartep" or maybe "2 fries."-- beauxeault, Aug 11 2003 No one ever apologizes to Sartep.-- sartep, Aug 11 2003 I have to vote against this idea. First because, It would be a national holiday where? I am sure down where I live nobody else but me will celebrate it, and it sucks to celebrate a holiday alone.
Secondly, it if becomes a national/international holiday people would start to wonder what this place is about; trolls and conviction-lacking people would soon be all over us. I doubt halfbakers will like that.-- Pericles, Aug 11 2003 It seems there is a rather easy way to enter a 'National _ day' in the public registry here in the US. It became quite fashionable a few years ago. Gonna have to look into that...-- RayfordSteele, Aug 11 2003 Sorry [sartep].-- k_sra, Aug 11 2003 I'm sorry you said that k_sra but someone was going to.-- po, Aug 11 2003 K sra, HA! Since you paid the sorry tab, does that entitle you to do something to me now? (winces) Be kind. I know the halfbakery can think of some really creative stuff.-- sartep, Aug 11 2003 You may send me a birthday halfbaked good on the sixteenth of August! (Make it a good one.) : )-- k_sra, Aug 11 2003 That's sounds fair.-- sartep, Aug 11 2003 random, halfbakery
