As you may remember from the last two weeks, I am openly and admittedly violating the Bloggers Code of Ethics ® by posting little current/relevant content while I am taking a blog sabbatical. [1]
As you may already know, the Bloggers Code of Ethics ® is similar to many other historical charters, from Magna Carta to the Bill of Rights to the Port Huron Statement, it its ground-breaking declaration [2] of and reflection on human rights…
…except that, OH FUDGESICLES, that’s right – there is no Bloggers Code of Ethics ®. Nothing even close to it exists.
Either that, or I didn’t get the memo.
That’s so precious – she thinks she is worthy of my memo.
Lest loyal readers think I have shirked my public interest responsibility, I shall bore the knickers off y’all keep you both entertained and informed by posting these reminders of the relevant celebrations unique to this day.
Please, don’t keep us in suspense.
While you may know that June 9 is the 160th day of the year, you may not be aware that it is celebrated around the world as
* National Heroes Day in Uganda.
*Autonomy Day for the Åland Islands
* National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day
* National Donald Duck Day [3]
The latter day honors “legends” named Earl, from banjo whiz Earl Scruggs to basketball’s Earl “The Pearl” Monroe to SCOTUS chief Justice Earl Warren. In this every-kid-gets-a-trophy syndrome world it seems acceptable if not fitting that every Earl gets his day…but where could I find a mention of the most infamous Earl of all?
Right here, y’all.
* * *
May you get your trophy if not your day;
May you shamelessly violate nonexistent ethics codes;
May you be patient with this space for just another week;
…and may the hijinks ensue.
Thanks for stopping by. Au Vendredi!

[1] First pathetically presented candidly mentioned in my May 26 post.
[2] This would be a good place for a footnote.
[3] Please don’t let me footnote this reference. Do you really want more information about such a day?
[4] A day to promote and raise awareness of the ocean conservation and protection, particularly that of “The Coral Triangle – aka the tropical marine waters of the Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands areas.
