(revised 2-27-08) (10th Anniversary)




Happy Weird Al Day :)
I didn't know there was a Weird Al Day...where did you find out about it?


Happy Weird Al Day!!! (revised 2-27-08) (10th Anniversary)Yup!The 27th of each
month is an excuse to celebrate Weird Al Day!On a side note: October 27, 2002
was the biggest Weird Al Day ever!That's because in most of the U.S., it's the
daywhere we reset our clocks back one hour to go from Daylight SavingTime to
Standard Time, except in Arizona and EasternIndiana, to get an extra hour of
sleep, or to celebrate WAY DAY!BTW: The first Weird Al Day was initiated on June
27, 1998!But in an August 13, 1997 posting in alt.music.weird-al, Richard
Birdhad the subject: Happy "Weird Al" Day!!!, meaningthat it's HIS Weird Al Day,
four years to the day since he became afan. What did he do?"...I'm going to
celebrate it by lisening to all my ALbums, andwatching all my Weird Al videos!
Oh, and eating Oreos,and Twinkie Weiner sandwiches. Which reminds me, I've gotta
go to thegrocery store!"FACT: When its November 27th, there are 27 days between
it and Christmas!And now, finally, it's on the web right
here:http://www.davesfunstuff.com/27news/2720a27l.htmAlthough Oct 23rd is the
yearly celebration of Weird Al Yankovic'sbirthday, this special monthly
observance is setaside so that we can appreciate the hard work Weird Al has
createdsince the 1900's.In fact, according to my Suntime and Holiday almanac,
the 27th ofEVERY month is Weird Al Day!Why 27th? Because we can't do it on the
32nd day of the month, that's why!So, let's celebrate Weird Al Day!There is a
rumored Weird Al Bonus Day every February 7th, or 2-7, butwe've just uncovered
the mystery of this date. Inone of the 'Ask Al' questions, Al mentioned that 2-7
is his mother'sbirthday.Of course, there's Weird Al Birth Day, THE big one when
he was bornOct 23, 1959. Some people celebrated his birthday byexchanging
presents or making peace with God. Some sang Weird Alcarols, but I have no
documentation to back that rumorup.How you MAY celebrate Weird Al Day:If putting
expiration dates on items that are dated the 27th, write inbelow it "Happy WAY
Day!"Buy a hat for a poodle, run with blunted scissors, or put on a wig ofbad
hair.This item is for radio station employees: host a brief interview withWeird
Al via phone or in the studio and play atleast a track from any of his albums.
On May 27, 2003, 91X in SanDiego played "Couch Potato", and morning deejay
ChrisCantore interviewed Al on the phone.At 27 minutes past the hour, everybody
sing a verse from ANY of WeirdAl's songs for 60 seconds, no more, no less.
Thesecond its 28 minutes past the hour, stop immediately, no exceptions;if
you're in the middle of a sentence, just stopimmediately. Be sure the clock is
in sync with the actual time.When tipping pizza delivery guys (including me, be
sure to make thedigits in the tip include the digits "2" and "7" inorder
(preferrably in amounts over $1). Examples: $1.27, $2.70, $27(for really big
orders).Wear the ugliest Hawaiian shirt you can get.Wear a Weird Al T-shirt or
cap ONLY on the 27th day of the month. Youmay wear it on the 14th if you wish,
but don'twear him out.Buy 27 of any item in a supermarket or department store.

list to anyone by e-mail or to other USENETnewsgroups. You are not permitted to
