***THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD***

Posted on 01/23/2015 4:38:03 AM PST by Lucky9teen

Tomorrow is Beer Can Appreciation Day

When : Always January 24th

 

Now here's a day that I can really get into! Actually, I can "get into" the stuff inside even more. What this author really appreciates, is a beer can that is full and icy cold.

Beer Can Appreciation Day celebrates that great day in 1935 when beer was first sold in cans.

 

Okay, laugh if you will. But, believe me when I say that Beer Can Appreciation Day is a big and important day to many people.

 

A lot of people do not know that there's a huge number of beer can collectors out there. Collectors meticulously open a beer can from the bottom, empty it (and drink the beer, of course), then wash and dry it. For beer can collectors, there is no shortage of types of beer, cans and bottles, and sizes. A beer can collector may have hundreds of cans and bottles.   

 

News You Can Use: There's a market for beer cans. If you come across an old can, do not throw it out. Rather, check out the prices in a collector's catalog, or on Ebay.

Beer Can Appreciation Day provides us with the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the many different kinds of beer cans. Enjoy today by starting, or adding to your beer can collection. As you empty the new cans, drink the contents. After all, you don't want to be wasteful do you?


Origin of Beer Can Appreciation Day:

We know that this day celebrates the first time beer as available in cans. We have yet to discover the creator or the origin of Beer Can Appreciation Day. Perhaps the originator opened up a few too many beer cans on the day of creation, and ...uh.... didn't remember the next day.  

While the creator may no longer recall creating today, we are so glad he, or she, did!

COLLECTING CANS: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Somewhere in the top 117...

Not new but...

In a recent survey commissioned by a leading soap and toiletries firm, Democrats have proven to be the most likely to have had sex in the shower. The results revealed that 86% of Obama supporters said that they have had sex in the shower. The remaining 14% said they haven't been to prison yet.

Sort of brings a tear to your eye...

Socialism vs. Racism

A young black kid asks his mother, "Mama, what is Socialism and what is Racism?"

"Well, Child ... Socialism is when white folks work every day so we can get all our stuff free like free cell phones for each family member, rent subsidy, food stamps, EBT, WIC, free school lunch, free healthcare, utility subsidy, and on and on, ... you know. That's Socialism ".

"But mama, don't the white people get upset about that?

"Sure they do honey and that's called Racism."

….(Never more simply explained)..

And Number 1)
Only in America ...
could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes -
be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay
any income taxes at all.
