so this holiday will run from august 8th to october 8th? thats quite a while. but more fun time!! what shall we celebrate(besides the fsm and octopus)? should we all sorts of activities for the children(and older peeps) to partake in?

[TwistedSister]

Just send them all down to Fun and Games, there's something for everyone there.

[Ham Nox]

Huh... And if you turn the 8 on its side, you'll get an infinity--just as our Spaghedeity is all infinite and stuff.

I'll start the caroling!!!

On the 1st day of Octo (Octos, Octothon, Octomas, Octavio, Octetti, Octopus, Octsober??) my pirate gave to me a perfect plate of fresh Spaghetti

[lord potato]

octothon or octofest.

just relised(cant spell) august 8th to october 8th is a LONG time....

[lord potato]

I think more proof has popped that octopus is a holy animal. Paul the octopus has sucessfully predicted each world cup game. perhaps his noodleness has come down in the form of paul?

[gwenetta92]

Bring an Octopus to work day could be incorporated into the festivities.

I concur! It would be supercool to make the Octopus a holy animal. But what about our other tentacled sea-friends?

I think maybe the Kraken (who makes itself known in much pirate lore) would be a better candidate.

Anyway- We all know that October is the true eighth month and that New Years is really in March. So... October 8th, anyone?

I am not sure about this proposal. Octopi enjoy taking cameras and latching onto things, while his Holyness only does the latter. At least, I am not familiar with any tales of Him taking people's cameras...

Also, this lil guy only has 6 legs:

I have noticed that octopi resemble his noodlyness and was wondering if anyone agrees? should devote a festival or holiday or something?

We octopi are holy animals. and we have a holiday to celebrate.
There is more to Cephalopodnukkah than Squidmas.
Cephalopodnukkah has a day for each of is many tentacled creatures.
Haven't you heard of Saint Nautilus?

Ok, I’m going to run all this through The Wholly And Significant Numberisticator ‘n’ Temporalizer (TWASN’T). This machine has been programmed with the obscurities and maturities; the verities and parities; the wasted, basted, ideation of creation; from the beginning of the grinning to ending of the spending; powered and flowered with the rhyme of time, the sauce of the boss, and held together by the lasting cement of the universal constant.

(Universal Constant: (C6.H12.O6) --> 2(C.O2) + 2(C2.H5.OH)

Having spent some time studying the works of certain theological numerologists of the past and recent present, we should be able to get the TWASN’T to produce a sufficiently self-entangled rationalization for whatever the Frakking Somnambulant Manifestation we want. Furthermore, this process should allow us to incorporate (or just plain rip off) whatever elements of whatever incidental events we want. That’s what numerology is all about. This will take a little time, but not as long as it took it to come up with that stupid Ultimate Question, I promise.

[Hyperstrands Engaged]

Please stand by.... and “STAND BACK! I’M GOING TO TRY SCIENCE!”

[lord potato]

Ok. Now that we got this holiday partially formed, we should send it to Bobby to see if he approves.

Before taking the octopus as our own... I hope you know the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus is much venerated by the Peoples of Cascadia. I wouldn't like to be seen as cutting someone else's grass and subsequently triggering a bitter turf war.

Ah. That could be a problem.
