National Penuche Fudge Day: More
Made from brown sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and nuts
(optional). Also known as Brown Sugar Fudge.
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Penuche Fudge Day'. Made from brown sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and nuts (optional). Also known as Brown Sugar Fudge.
[The Hankster says] Fudge by any other name would taste as sweet (apologies to Willie S.).
Tomorrow is 'Rat Catcher's Day'. The day the Pied Piper led the children out of Hamelin.
This celebrates the July 22, 1376 as given in Robert Browning's poem. We also celebrated this back on June 26 which is the date the Brothers Grimm cited (July 26 1284) and the date celebrated in the English town of Hamelin.
We kinda been here before. Tomorrow is' Pi Approximation Day / Casual Pi Day'.
In the day/month format, this is 22/7. The fraction 22 sevenths is an
approximation of Pi. The other Pi Day for the decimal value 3.14
(month/day) is on March 14 or 3.14 or 3/14.
There is also a Tau Day, for those who prefer using the radius instead
of the diameter to calculate the circumference of a circle. Tau is
celebrated on 6.28 or 6/28 or June 28. That makes tau 2 times the measure
of Pi and is supposed to be easier to use.
[The Hankster says] Since Pi and Pie are homophones (impressed
aren't you), I'll celebrate the latter , by starting in the middle of a pie and eating one radi to the edge and then around the circumference.
My kinda day tomorrow It will be 'National Hammock Day'.
[The Hankster says] July has some of my favorite days, like ice cream and now hammocks. I purchased a hammock a while back. I stretched it out in the backyard and planted a tree at each end. Still waiting. Summer may be over before I can use it.
Tomorrow we celebrate a man who spent his life talking in front of others, and maybe shouldn't have done so. Tomorrow is 'Spooner's (Spoonerism) Day'. Birthday of Reverend William Archibald Spooner. His slips of the tongue became known as Spoonerisms. Ex. Instead of 'cozy little nook' he said 'nosey little cook'.
[The Hankster says] Others, not necessarily his: tips of the slun (slips of the tongue), Tease my ears (Ease my tears), A lack of pies (A pack of lies) , It's roaring with pain (It's pouring with rain) , you get the idea.
We have a couple of health related awareness days tomorrow.
- 'Fragile X Awareness Day'. An inherited intellectual disability.
- 'World Brain Day'. The 2015 emphasis is on Epilepsy.

July is:
July origin (from Wikipedia): Named by the Roman Senate in honor of Julius Caesar.
"is the seventh month of the year (between June
and August) in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and one of seven months
with the length of 31 days. It was named by the Roman Senate in honor of
the Roman general, Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth. Prior
to that, it was called Quintilis. It is, on average, the warmest month in
most of the Northern hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer)
and the coldest month in much of the Southern hemisphere (where it
is the second month of winter). The second half of the year commences in
July. In the Southern hemisphere, July is the seasonal equivalent of
January in the Northern hemisphere."

or your 45 RPM record player was broke, you might watch one of these shows on TV.
