What’s Wacky Today?
Today is National Macaroon Day; enjoy some if you know what they are. It’s Save Your Hearing Day today; I said it’s SAVE YOUR HEARING DAY; get those headphones out of your ears and at least turn down the volume. And did you have to trade in your sub box lately because they just don’t seem so loud anymore? Seriously, check and protect your hearing. And while we are on the subject of good health; it’s also World No Tobacco Day.

Heads Up for Tomorrow:
Tomorrow starts a new month. Do you have you goals written? I dare you to right 10 things you want to accomplish by the end of the month. Oh, coincidence? Tomorrow is Dare Day and Flip a Coin Day.

What Wacky happened on this date in the past?
In 1698 Lady Godiva rides naked because her husband (of all people) promised to relieve the people of their heavy taxes if she did. Hmmm, she did but we still have taxes so was she not good looking or has everyone just forgot? I never knew it happened so long ago as today this would seem like a common occurrence; maybe 1998 but way back in 1698? In 1790 the First U.S. copyright law was passed by Congress. Madison Square Garden opened its doors in 1879. A massive flood obliterated Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1889 with over 2200 people losing their lives. The NAACP held its first conference in 1909. 1918  Douglas Campbell became the first American flying ace of WW1 in 1918.  In 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded “Give Peace a Chance”. The drug Ecstasy was banned in the U.S. in 1985 but some people still prefer it as a drug of choice to destroy themselves.

Who has a birthday today?

1965 Brooke Shields American actress

1943 Joe Namath American Football Hall-of-Famer quarterback

You are probably charming and witty if you share a birthday today. You have a casual approach to health and seldom visit the doctor. You like work to be challenging and exciting with changes every day. You are generous in your giving. Once married you are a very devoted member.

Well, it’s another day and another two dollars! (Or whatever; that’s from the old, “another day another dollar” if you didn’t know). It’s worth all the time it takes to put this out every day knowing that people are coming here and reading this stuff; and finding it useful and entertaining for their day. Please be sure to tell others about it and maybe we can get more people enjoying “Wacky”.

An Apple Store worker tells us what it's really like working for Apple

  • A veteran Apple retail worker has given Business Insider a lengthy interview about what it is really like working at Apple in the UK. This staffer told us:
  • Workers feel the company's mandatory internal criticism policy makes Apple "like a cult."
  • Apple Store workers routinely face death threats from customers.
  • It's easier to get into Harvard than it is to work at an Apple Store.
  • Even if you sell an enterprise contract worth hundreds of thousands, all you will get is £8 an hour and a handshake.
  • Apple store workers are paid so little many cannot afford the products they sell and some go into debt to buy them.

What’s Wacky Today?

 Today is “Learn About Composting Day” so it’s a good thing that today is Saturday and Memorial Weekend to boot. Maybe you’ll have time to do some research and then get that garbage out behind the garage rotting where it belongs.

Heads Up for Tomorrow:
Memorial Day and also Water a Flower Day.  

What Wacky happened on this date in the past?

1453 Renaissance starts with The Turks capturing Istanbul (which is now Constantinople) creating a reason for people to dress in odd costumes and act funny at festivals all over the world centuries later.

South Carolina is formally incorporated as a royal colony of England on this date in 1721. In 1790, Rhode Island became the last of the original thirteen colonies to ratify the Constitution and becomes the 13th state. (I live in Wisconsin so I get to celebrate two state birthdays).  The poem, The American Flag by Joseph Rodman Drake is first published in 1819; published in the New York Evening Post. Being that tomorrow is Memorial Day, it’s fitting to read it. CLICK to visit. 

1848 Wisconsin has a birthday today, having become the thirtieth state in 1848. Inventor (?) Abraham Lincoln is granted a patent for lifting vessels in 1849. Indianapolis 500 started on this date in 1911. 1913 Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring premiers in Paris. Its daring harmonies and shifting rhythms created an uproar that is unequalled in music history; well maybe until Rock n Roll came on later in the fifties.

Just before the Rock and Roll era, in 1942 Bing Crosby recorded White Christmas (during the part of the year that the snow just leaves Minnesota and Wisconsin, so he must have been in the mood) and the song eventually sold over 25,000,000 copies (and is still selling today).
C. F. Blair becomes the first man to fly over the North Pole in single engine plane in 1951 and two years later in 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay become the first men to reach the top of Mount Everest (without a plane). Woman gives birth to nine babies in 1972 tying for the highest number medically recorded for a single birth, sadly all died. And, in 1974 President Richard Nixon agrees to turn over 1,200 pages of edited Watergate transcripts. The London Hospital Medical College refuses to sell Michael Jackson the remains of John Merrick, the Elephant Man in 1987. (Don’t ask).

Who has a birthday today?

1956 La ToyaJackson American singer (does she even look 60?).

 1955 John Hinckley Jr “famous” for shooting Pres. Reagan and James Brady in 1981 trying to impress the actress Jodie Foster. He was tried and found not guilty by reason of insanity. (Perhaps the judge and jury needed their sanity checked?)

 1939 Al Unser Sr American race car driver and 4-time Indy 500 winner. It's interesting that he was born on the same date that the Indianapolis 500 started  in 1911.

 1917 JohnFitzgerald Kennedy the 35th and youngest person elected president U.S. President. He would not believe how the democratic party has “progressed” to what it is today.

 1903 Bob Hope (His real first name is Leslie and if he hadn’t changed it, he may never have become famous and we may never have known about him or his great one liners). He won five Oscars for his humanitarian actions and contributions to the industry. Most notable for living to be one hundred; a merry heart really does do good like a medicine.

 1883 Alan Roy Dafoe Canadian physician who delivered the world's first known surviving quintuplets (that’s five) in 1934 (We sure could have used him with those nine babies in 1972).

 1826 Ebenezer Butterick was an American inventor, who with his wife Ellen invented the paper clothing patterns that homemakers have used up through today to create their own sewing sensations. I remember those “Butterick Patterns” and had a few shirts made from them.

 1781 John Walker English chemist, invented the friction match (1826). He refused to patent his idea, knowing that the world would soon have BIC lighters.

 1736 Patrick Henry American patriot who was known for his quote: "… give me liberty or give me death!"

Intelligent and persuasive are common traits of those born on this date. They are rather healthy; which is a good thing since they don’t really care too much about it. They like to spend money on impulse. They enjoy their independence but when married they are mostly romantic, passionate and dependable.

“Goodbyes”



2012 Dick Beals  TV voiceactor, Davey in Davey and Goliath; voice for Gumby; voice of Speedy in the Alka-Seltzer radio and TV commercials, and sang the I'd love to be an Oscar Meyer wiener song. Dick is no longer (I’m sorry, that sounds bad) with us but you may still see the Wiener Mobile in your travels.

2010 Dennis Hopper actor  and director. Known best for role in Easy Rider.

 1994 Erich Honecker East German political leader who supervised the construction of the Berlin Wall.

1979 Mary Pickford Born in Canada, she became "America's Sweetheart” as an American Oscar-winning silent film actress.

1951 Fanny Brice was an American actress, singer, and dancer whose life was the basis for the musical Funny Girl.

Known as Bella Vista, the house was built in the 1920s and purchased several years later by Mr. Barrymore, according to architectural historian Tim Gregory, who has researched the property.1942 John Barrymore actor and best known for his portrayals of Hamlet and Richard III. According to Errol Flynn, when Barrymore died, some of his friends took his body from the funeral home and propped it up in a chair in Flynn's home to frighten him. Quote: "A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams."

His home is available now on sale for $29.95 (Million that is)

1866 Winfield Scott  American general who is noted for his service both during the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. He was the last Whig presidential candidate and probably in my ancestry so maybe I need to look up what the Whig party was). 

1829 Sir Humphry Davy was the scientist who discovered the effects of inhaling laughing gas (that had to have been a funny discovery; and by the way, how many other things did he inhale?) and he is about the fourth “inventor” of the “first” electric light and the safety lamp for miners (people over 18 didn’t need the safety lamp because they had the electric light).




1814 Josephine (Last name Bonaparte) until she failed to produce an heir so then she was out of there.

What’s wacky one month out.
June 29th is a very busy day! It’s Camera, Hug, International Mud and Waffle Iron Day. The actual Waffle Day I think is some other day; this is in honor of the actual waffle iron. And think about the “camera” and just how far we’ve come with that invention. And come on folks, you can’t tell me that you can’t think of some promotion for your business that has to do with mud? You got one month to think of something and leave it in the comments after this article.

JUNE is: Aquarium Month, Candy Month, Dairy Month, Accordian Awareness Month, Adopt a Cat Month, Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, Rose Month and Turkey Lovers Month. 

What’s wacky two months out.
July 29th is National Lasagna Day. I remember when I was first married and told my bride when she served it that my mom used a special kind of cheese when she made hers. It was several National Lasagna Days later before I saw it on my table.

July is National Blueberry Month, National Anti-Boredom Month, Unlucky Month (for Weddings), Cell Phone Courtesy Month, Hot Dog Month, and National Ice Cream Month.

August 29th; you are going to love this one; or maybe. It’s “More Herbs and Less Salt” Day. Herbs are awesome and if you buy just about any packaged or canned food from the store there is already (and some would argue too much) salt so you definitely don’t need to add any. Don’t wait three months to enjoy herbs. Why not enjoy them today?

AUGUST is: Admit You’re Happy, Family Fun, National Catfish, National Eye, National Golf, Peach, Romance Awareness, Water Quality and National Picnic Month.

This week is: Emergency Medical Services Week.

Next week will be: Fishing Week; which I don’t know why it isn’t sooner as there have already been “fishing openers” for many states. Maybe with most people (OK, the “lucky” ones) won’t be working on Monday (Memorial Day) they may have a nice start on Fishing Week).

This Week in #F8


 What’s Wacky Today?
Today is International Jazz Day* and Amnesty Day!  Now my research tells me that International Jazz Day was on (and is on) April 30th; maybe we just can’t get enough? Don’t ask me; I just work here. Just to be on the safe side, I think I’ll listen to some good jazz today. Amnesty Day has to do with protecting people’s rights around the world; that’s a big task. What is sometimes a bigger task is to know what a “right” really is. Here in America basic rights include: right to life, to hold property, the right to liberty and pursue happiness. That’s about it (which is a lot). Much of what is going around today as “rights” are things that actually infringe on these basic rights. This weekend we remember who died to defend those rights on Memorial Day.

*Read T-Bone’s quote about blues and jazz below.

Heads Up for Tomorrow: Learn About Composting Day.

What Wacky happened on this date in the past?
In 585 BC a battle outside of Sardis in western Turkey ends in a draw as it is interrupted by a solar eclipse; the Medes and the Lydians must have thought it was a “sign”. We could use more “signs” of peace like that today! On this date in 1805, Napoleon Bonaparte is crowned in Milan, Italy. Congress authorizes Indian “removal” from all states to the western Prairie in 1830. A regiment of African-American recruits called The 54th Massachusetts, left Boston for Hilton Head, South Carolina in 1863. Willie Mays hits his first major-league home run in 1951. In 1953 the first animated 3-D cartoon in Technicolor premiered; named Melody. We celebrate Amnesty Day today because back in 1953, on today’s date the organization was founded. 1980 First women to graduate from West Point Military Academy happened back in 1980.  Coors Brewing Company’s CEO and TV pitchman Peter Coors is arrested for DWI in 2006.

Who has a birthday today?
1738 Dr. Joseph Ignace Guillotine, inventor of the Guillotine.
1888 Jim Thorpe, one amazing athlete
1908 Ian Fleming, British novelist who created “James Bond”
1910 T-Bone Walker, blues guitarist and singer
1945 Patch Adams, physician
1971 Marco Rubio, Senator

If you were born today, you probably speak first and then think; and don’t like to be forced to interact in large groups. People born on this date don’t like to go to the doctor. They typically are good with their money, loners and hard workers. They like routine so their marriages are usually those of convenience.

“Goodbyes”
2010 Gary Coleman American TV actor of Diff'rent Strokes


 2003 Martha Scott American actress in film and TV; she was quite the mother. She was the mother of Moses in The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur’s mother in Ben-Hur, Bob’s mother in The Bob Newhart Show, Sue Ellen’s mother in Dallas and Steve Austin’s mother in The Six Million Dollar Man.

 1998 Phil Hartman Canadian-born American actor. Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

 972 Duke of Windsor, King of England (1936) who gave up his Throne to marry an  American, Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson.

 1971 Audie Murphy American (Medal of Honor) war hero, actor.
