By Imperial Decree: Frivolous Day
As Grand High Pu-Bah of this establishment, I have come to a policy decision, and am here to announce it to you all:
WHEREAS, the calendar of the Nation is festooned with "days" about this, that and the other thing; andWHEREAS, this "day" stuff appears to have, if not a clearly positive, at least a leavening influence upon an institution; and
WHEREAS, we here at Eternity Road are somewhat too serious for our own good (though, be it frankly admitted, lately there's a lot to be serious about);
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT henceforward, the 18th of April shall be deemed Frivolous Day at Eternity Road, and shall be strictly observed by:
- Avoiding all talk of political subjects;
- Doing our best to be lighthearted;
- Doing our best to raise the spirits of those Gentle Readers who, inexplicably, continue to visit this dump by the hundreds each day.
ACCORDINGLY, there shall be no posts at Eternity Road on Frivolous Day which:
- Refer to any political subject, political figure, or disease contracted by association with politics or politicians;
- Cast a pall of gloom over this corner of the DextroSphere;
- Conduce to the imposition of anxiety, concern, doubt, boredom, or unwarranted sobriety upon any Gentle Reader of Eternity Road.
CO-CONSPIRATORS shall be duly encouraged:
- To tell jokes and funny stories;
- To laugh at themselves and one another;
- To post pictures of extremely attractive, scantily clothed women, albeit nothing that would cost Eternity Road its PG-13 rating.
The Curmudgeon Emeritus shall have power to enforce this edict by the insertion of one or more really bad puns into any offending post.
Let the town criers proclaim it to all the land! (Yes, yes, to all the people of the land, too. To be sure, the land can be a bit stodgy.)

18th is tommorrow, so let’s gently transition over: Here’s two puns about communism, from ‘punoftheday.com’
Communism is a complicated thing. You must think about from all sorts of Engels.
I dropped out of my communism class because of lousy Marx.

I wanted to observe “World Procrastination Day” on my blog, but kept putting it off.
