In a day where everyday seems to be another holiday what’s another one thrown in the mix going to do? I mean we have Pi day, May the Fourth Be With You and even a day celebrating Super Mario’s birthday. Well, today (according to http://wilwheatonday.com/) you can add another useless holiday to your calenders, Will Wheaton day. You may remember him as the helmsmen and son of the widowed doctor on Star Trek Next Generation Wesley Crusher. Now, personally, if a day is going to be celebrated about a Star Trek actor, I would choose William Shatner. I mean the guy got more tail than any Star Fleet captain in the Federation, I think Wesley is still a virgin on the show. But, if you feel the need to really celebrate this intergalactic virgin child, here are apparently some activities to follow:
•Reciting of the Works
Master of ceremonies reads from the Wil Wheaton’s IMDB page.
•The Endowment
Participants wear knitted, earth tone sweaters (preferably with shoulder pads).
•The Reenactment
Participants put on a line by line reenactment of the episode “The Game” of Star
Trek TNG.
•The Sacraments
Participants eat Huevos rancheros, Big chicken bowl w/ potato salad, Petit fillet
and Grilled Dodger Dogs.
•The Anthem
Participants and the Wil Wheaton Day Band (Violin, Trombone and Keyboard)
join in a rendition of “Oh Wheaton, My Wheaton”, followed by covers of
Depeche Mode songs.
So, if you find yourself bored, or just need an excuse to relieve the Monday stress, here is yet another pointless and useless reason to party. This will be the first of what is threatened to be an annual celebration of this fleshy male type creature. I wonder if there is a day left on the calendar which does not celebrate something. As for me, I will be working on creating a day honoring a real Star Trek character, Data. I think any robotic lifeform who can deal with fleshy humans on a day to day basis deserves recognition.
