National Holidays

I know most people were aware of Groundhogs Day this week but Saturday was also filled with a few lesser known holidays. As I ventured out on the day before Super Bowl Sunday I quickly learned that the following holidays were celebrated at the following places:

Costco: Everybody in Benton County Come To Costco, Get a Cart Whether You need it Or Not, and Drive it Right Down The Middle of the Aisle Day. Also known as None of the Sample Stations Have any Samples Ready Day.

The Mall: Bring Your Entire Family and Walk 5-Wide Day.

Target: Move Things Around So No One Can Find Them Day... or I guess that should be Month.

Payless Shoes: Make Sure You Don't Have Any Shoes That Fit My Kids in Any of Your Locations Day.

And finally... Pick Up 3 Nails From the Construction Site Across the Street and Have To Buy A Whole New Tire Because Costco Will Only Repair 2 Nail Holes in One Tire and The Tread is Too Worn to Be Covered by their "Warranty" Day. Also known as Spend 100 Bucks I Don't Have Day.

I don't think any of these days are publicized enough to warrant media coverage but I did find myself "celebrating" frequently as I ventured in and out of the corresponding establishments. I'm thinking next Saturday before Superbowl Sunday I will probably just stay home.
