Having been born on this day I happen to enjoy it immensely.
Though I have to confess being tired of the pink ponies thing - there is probably a link to the escapist pony badge and the woman who received it first, but I've seen it so often since slashdot did the OMG PONIEZ thing a couple years ago that it is getting tired.
People today get to be an ass to people whenever they like now, so the whole concept of the one day a year you can enjoy yourself is kind of lost on the current round of humans.
