The Holiday Council

[Ago Iterum]

Fine! I'll just make my own Holiday Council! With hookers, and blackjack. In fact, forget the Holiday Council!

That's a quote, isn't it? I recognize that phrasing...

Haha, yeah. It's off Futurama, when he gets kicked out of the theme park on the moon he says that, but referencing the theme park. And he says it again when Fry and Leela lock him out of a Lunar lander.

Ah yes, now I remember. Second episode, first season.

hit me up for double since I have the Genre Wars Ninja. Whats my ESRB rating?

 

[dalek sec]

So what exactly is the new holiday around here now?

 

[xitel]

So are you guys doing anything for Genre Wars.

Nothing official has been discussed for Genre Wars, so I can't say we are.

It's a peer-to-peer thing, so people that you know can give suggestions based on your posting history. I would say from what I've seen that you're a T.

Nothing yet, wait for July. Or sooner, if we work out exactly what and when ESRB week is going to be.

*points to self* Does not care. Awww....

And we needed to know this why? I mean, one would think that if you really didn't care you would just not post anything. But by posting you prove that you do care, you just want to be different and say you aren't participating. How unfortunate, then, that the whole "I'm not doing the holiday thing" has been done to death before now.

WEll, it was a joke with a foot in reality. You see. Usually online people are saying that something is a fact, even though it's only for the "most populare" countries.
This is a bad example, but let's go with it.
"Canada are the only country that has free health care that works well" (This might be so full of flaws, but bear with me. It's just to prove a point). Let's say Australia, US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia, China, Japan and etc don't have free health care. at all. And so these are the only countries taken in to consideration in a lot of people from those countries' mind. And they leave out lesser known countries like Norway and such. When you confront them with it, they're like "Whu-? Oh. That's a minor country. That doesn't matter to these statistics, because it's not big enough in the world". That's kinda getting on my nerves from time to time ..

Well, I apologize if that's the impression you got, but I can promise you that I don't think countries that are small are unimportant. Had I known that St Patrick's Day didn't have the same kind of widespread knowledge that I thought it did I wouldn't have approved it.

Not to needlessly necro an old thing, but it's not a clear cut picture. St. Patricks Days is pretty big here in Denmark, though we just just use it as an excuse to go drinking and wishing we were in Ireland.

And that being said, Daye, you guys experience that in Norway? It's kinda the opposite I experience here in Denmark and it's not like we're massively bigger.

To be honest, that's what it is for most Americans too. Just some of us also throw in corned beef and cabbage and potatoes for dinner. It's rare for people to actually remember the real story of St. Patrick.

Anyone know when Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day is?

 

[Sir Ollie]

Anyone know when Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day is?

September 19 - International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

 

[Uszi]

... Cinco de Mayo?
Personally, I think any holiday which coincides with much drinking should be globally celebrated.

 

[Sevre]

Can we get special Avatars for Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day?!

 

[Inverse Skies]

You didn't read the OP.

I did, It's a suggestion not a demand.

 

[Inverse Skies]

While thats true, Xitel specifically states they won't be doing things like Talk Like a Pirate day. That being said, you could make your own avatar no problem.

Oh I actually see that,I've read the OP 3 times and I can't believe my mind flushed out that sentence.

Now I'm embarrased.

It's okay, I recently redid the OP to be more comprehensive than it was before. I appreciate suggestions though, but I do want to say that we have something planned for July, leading up to something important to the site, and we aren't planning anything for May, to give people a break after having 3 themes back to back.
