Post #153,814 by CRConrad 5/5/04 2:12:17 AM Reply	Actually, you're quite right; I got your holidays mixed up. El Beepo explains: I have NO ISSUE with the program (stated from the first post..no re-invention necessary). Memorial Day would have been MORE APPROPRIATE. The fact that it was NOT done then (a holiday for THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE)and instead done on the 2nd day of sweeps detracts from the show and by doing so tarnishes those names >for that specific section of the audience<. Since somebody mentioned somewhere nearby that "Memorial Day" is the 31st of May -- i.e, in just a few weeks -- I have to change my stance and pretty much completely agree with you. I thought you were advocating putting it off way into the autumn, where it would either A) drown in all the directly-election-related meeja hoopla, or B) be all the more easily explained away -- and possibly quashed altogether -- as a part of said hoopla. But now that I think about it, it must have been "Labor [sic] Day" (isn't that sometime towards the end of October?) that I was thinking of... Sorry; you were right and I was wrong. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.) Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

Post #153,850 by jake123 5/5/04 12:21:27 PM Reply	Nah, in the Fall is when we do it the Canadians, that is... on November 11th. Woe betide the PM that schedules an election on that date; they'd get crushed. The title of our holiday is Remembrance Day. We have two minutes of silence at 11AM on the 11th day of the 11th month, which is when the armstice ending the Great War was signed in Versailles. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #153,906 by a6l6e6x 5/5/04 5:15:34 PM Reply	Also in US as Veteran's Day. [link\|http://www1.va.gov/vetsday/\|Veteran's Day] was originally called Armistice Day (after beating the Huns in WW-I). But then, this being the US, it is shifted to the nearest Monday to make for 3-day weekends. The intent of the day is to honor war veterans (dead or alive). Actual "celebration" is usually a minute of silence at 11:11 AM. Alex There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
