Greeting Card Campaign: 8-31 Cow Chip Tossing Day

Download card here

August 31 is one of my very favorite weird special days.  It's Cow Chip Tossing Day! We think this was an idea cooked up by some Wisconsin dairy farmer as a way to get people to pick up all the cow chips (that's cow poop to you city slickers) and fling them somewhere else so he didn't have to.  The idea caught on and now, all across the fruited plain, in livestock producing areas everywhere, annual cow chip tossing contests and festivals have sprung up - usually on this last day of August when the dog days of summer have had time to thoroughly quick dry some very nice, tossable cow patties.  The secret is in the drying.  Wet or crumbly cow chips just don't toss well.  My grandpa used to collect them in spring and dry them on a rack in the sun over the summer.  Just before the competition, he'd spray paint his chips gold. He kept one on his desk as a paperweight. It had a squishy foam pad glued to the bottom to freak out inquisitive children who couldn't resist picking it up.

Tell your sweetie you love her and that's no bull@#$% with this Cow Chip Tossing Day card. 
Just click on the caption below the picture of the chip tosser.  The link will take you to a pdf file in Google Docs.

Well now, it's Kiss Me Day - one of my favorite holidays.  The holiday marks the very first screen kiss in 1929 between that spinach chugging cartoon slugger, Popeye the Sailor Man and his one true lady love, the ahead-of-her time-skinny-as-a-rail Olive Oyl.  Her response?

"My hero," she said, falling into a swoon - possibly from hunger.  It was, after all, the beginning of the Depression. Today is the day for heroes and their sweethearts to demonstrate their affection for one another with a bit of labial osculation (it means kissing so calm down all you prepubescents).  Send your own Miss Oyl a cock-eyed "romantic" greeting card and seal it with a kiss (SWAK)?

Greeting Card Day: 08-21 Poetry Day

Click here to download your card.

Since we celebrated Bad Poetry Day a few days ago, it seems a bit premature to celebrate Good Poetry today, August 21^st.  A lot of writer's groups, libraries and creative writing classes celebrate by holding poetry write-ins.  There are several poetry groups on-line that will help you set up your own free poetry page on which to publish your good stuff for the perusal of your fellow bards, versifiers and lyricists.

So try turning your hand at a ballads, a limerick, some free verse, blank verse, an acrostic, an abecedarian, haiku, tanka, ode, senryus, sonnet or more. It is Poet's Day, after all, so let's all have a grand old rhyme and writing it on the inside of this classy Poet's Day Card for your lady love. Just click on the caption below the drawing of the generic poet and it will take you to a pdf file in Google Docs. Remember, instead of printing from Google Docs, click on "File" in the upper left corner, then select "Download" and copy the file to your own computer.  Open it with Adobe PDF Reader or whatever PDF reader you use and print the card from there. For some reason Google Docs doesn't handle fonts well, even though they are supposed to be embedded in the PDF document itself.

This is a side fold card, so when it prints, be sure to tell your printer it's in "landscape" format so you get the whole file. Flip it on the short side to print double-sided. This will save you a lot of time.  I didn't cheat for you.  You have to write your own.  Avoid the use of the word "dove" or "shove" as rhymes for love. In fact, to help you out let me suggest you try your hand at an acrostic.  And acrostic uses each letters of a word or name as the first letter of a line of the poem.  To wit:

Lightly the fragrance of flowers in summer wafted
  Over a playful breeze was carried along to me just at the
    Very moment, when I was thinking of you, but then
      Every moment is when I think of you.
        Do you suppose it's.......



It's not hard.  You can spell her name or some special word that describes her. You don't have to be flowery.  Stay away from words like April (it's mid-summer), dawn (She'll probably find it around mid-morning), lonely, alone or pain. Poems that use a lot of those words have become poetic hack writing.  Be yourself. Write like you speak (or at least, like you think you speak).  Trust me the first letters of each line spells a word gimmick will help improve your chances of coming up with something clever. 


If you really can't do poetry, I decided to go ahead and do copy the poem above and printed it on the inside of the card.  If you want to try your own, then only print the outside of the card and leave the inside blank. It's up to you.

If you write something on the inside of your card, that's original, though, this card will be a sure winner.

Greeting Card Campaign: 8-18 Bad Poetry Day

Click here for card

It is strangely appropriate that August 18th is Bad Poetry Day.  I spent yesterday looking through an old school notebook filled with my high school poetry. I needed Dramamine by the time I'd had all I could stand.  It was so awful, it kept drawing me on and on, page after page, hoping I'd get better over time.  I remember myself as a far better poet than I was. Of course, it wasn't so much that I couldn't write decent poetry.  Some of my efforts showed promise.  Unfortunately, about half the people I went to school with were either headed for state prison or brilliant careers in waste management. My teachers were easy. If you could write a semi-coherent sentence, they were pathetically grateful. I didn't have a very high bar to clear sad to say.


If you'd told me I couldn't use the words "pain", "lonely", "dawn" or "alone" and eliminated the month of April from general usage, I'd have been rendered poetically mute. 


You have to admire some bad poets, though. Scottish poet, William Topaz MacGonagal, (from whom J.J. Rowlings got the last name for Harry Potter's housemaster - Professor MacGonagal) is considered by many critics to be the worst published poet in the past two centuries. MacGonagal managed to get himself published, not by the quality of his verse, but by sheer tenacity.  Publishers surrendered to avoid being buried alive in his submissions.

So to bad poets everywhere - Salute!  Today's your day to write a poem for your love.  To that effect, we're leaving the inside of this card blank with a picture of the obligatory April dawn with the sparkling sun rising sedately over the heather. There's even a cottage and a horse you can throw in for good measure.  Don't worry about rhyme, meter or making sense. Just throw in a lot of poetical sounding words and you'll be okay.  Give it your best shot. Today is bad poetry appreciation day after all.  Send your sweetie a bad poetry card to show her you care.

Greeting Card Campaign: 8-16 International Tell-A-Joke Day

Download the card here.

It is ironic that International Tell-a-Joke Day falls on the day a famous comedian died.  And no, he didn't die in the Catskills or at a comedy club in Hoboken and no one was throwing tomatoes.

Josias (Joe) Miller was a 17^th century British comedian, author and actor who died on August 16, 1738. He wrote the classic humor volume (Joe Miller's Jests) which was a standard humorist's tool for many years. Later, his book was renamed Joe Miller's Jokes after the English language watered down the term jest to mean hoity-toity style humor as in "Surely, you jest." which is followed immediately by, "I do and don't call me Shirley."

Tell your beloved that your love for her is no joke with this clever (if I do say so myself) International Joke Day greeting card. Just click on the caption below the dying comedian and it will take you to a pdf file in Google Docs.

8-11 Presidential Joke Day

Download your Presidential Joke Day Card here!

Well, it's Presidential Joke Day. Presidential Joke Day began as an attempt to humiliate our 40th president Ronald Reagan.  While doing a sound check for his weekly radio address, Reagan was fooling around and said, "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." over an open microphone. The media, always eager to catch a Republican in a gaffe, broadcast the bit and as a result, Russian military forces went on high alert.  Reagan had to do some 'splainin' and things settled back down. Reagan, appropriately enough for the erstwhile founder of "Presidential Joke Day" joked his way out of it, thoroughly irritating the media talking heads who are not noted for having a sense of humor.

People love to make fun of the president. Some are much easier targets than others. Tell your sweetie that she presides over your heart and that ain't no joke with this Presidential Joke Day Greeting Card.
