National Peanut Butter Day –
This is a day to celebrate that which the Aztecs may have created
several hundred years ago by crushing peanuts into a chunky, pasty
substance. Peanut paste was turned into more of a peanut buttery
type substance similar to the peanut butter we know and love today in
the 1890's with various patents by various enterprising people. One
of which was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg who served it to his patients at
his Battle Creek Sanitarium.
National Beer Can Appreciation Day
– On this day in 1935, the first beers were served in cans and the
rest is history. I wonder if this is the day when the first beer can
was crushed as well.
National Compliment Day – This
day is one of the easiest days you will ever celebrate. Simply
compliment at least five people today. I don't know who created it
but that is less important than the fact that if you celebrate today,
you will lift the spirits of everyone around you.
National Eskimo Pie Patent Day –
Christian Kent Nelson invented the I-Scream-Bar somewhere around
1920. His inspiration was supposedly seeing a child trying to decide
between buying ice cream or candy because he didn't have enough money
for both. So he created a bar that combined ice cream and chocolate.
It was renamed the Eskimo Pie shortly after he received his patent
on this day in 1920 or 1921.
Change A Pet's Life Day – This
is a day to change a pet's life. Go to your local animal shelter and
find a pet that would be perfect for your family. Change his/her
life by rescuing them from the loneliness of a cage and sharing with
them the love of a family.
Global Belly Laugh Day - Small
chuckles and little teehee's will not do today. Today is a day for
big, from your stomach, belly laughs. Join the belly laugh bounced
around the world today at 1:24pm local time.

Talk Like A Grizzled Prospector Day
– If you thought Talk Like A Pirate Day was fun, here's another one
for you. First, ya gots ta figger out a name fer yerself. Sumthin
grizzly like Cactus Pete. Today back there in '48, James Marshall
found himself the first great big ol' nugget up there at Sutter's
Mill. Ev'r'one went plumb crazy after that.
To celebrate today, have a nice peanut
butter and jelly sandwich, along with a can of beer, and an Eskimo
pie for desert, then offer compliments to your chef while sharing a
great big belly laugh (at 1:24pm). All of the above must be ordered
as if you were a grizzled prospector and the rest of your day should
be spent at the SPCA finding the perfect animal to save.
