Happy Cheese Weasel Day!

Has everyone received their slice of Kraft American Cheese?

Look here for an explanation.

Of course, we mustn't forget...

"Who brings the cheese on April 3rd?
The Cheese Weasel
He's not a silly bunny or a raindeer or a bird,
He's the Cheese Weasel
He's got a cute black tail
And tiny buck teeth
He doesn't bring fish, and he
Doesn't bring beef
So you'd better be good if you wanna get some cheese
From the Cheese Weasel."

Gosh... That's... erm... profound! Thank you for that unique insight into contemporary culture.

Ahh...

Ying tong ying tong ying tong iddle-ay-po!

Or if you want a meme I've found impossible to get out of my head (TTTO "The Red Flag", "Oh Tannenbaum" usw.):

Oh woe is me, oh woe is me, I used to have a hamster tree
Oh woe is me, oh woe is me, I used to have a hamster tree
But it was eaten by a newt
And now I have no cuddly fruit
Oh woe is me, oh woe is me, I used to have a hamster tree...

Sounds almost as good as 'Festoon-a-gnome-with-bacon-rind-day', although that has no profound lyrics attached.

Okay, I'll bite: What is "'Festoon-a-gnome-with-bacon-rind-day?"

An ancient London festival that has many celebratory features: there's 'Barrister Nudging' at Kew; the all-in towel attendants dance and Zabaglione show held at Chiswick Baths; and the inter-Rabbi bobsleigh championship which is held, as usual, down the escalators at Tottenham Court Road tube station.

So when is this festival held? I'm curious!

It usually falls on St.Tibb's Day.

Okay, I'll bite: When is St. Tibb's Day?

Well, since we don't know when St. Tibb died, *any* day can be St. Tibb's Day (see Robert Anton Wilson for details).
