Fun on a bun in a gun.

Today is Pistol Patent Day. This refers to Samuel Colt's patenting of the revolver, although I don't know why this day is of importance, as it isn't even his birthday. I'm not sure exactly how to celebrate this holiday. I don't want to own a gun, as I don't trust myself with it yet (I'm a naturally curious person and curiosity and guns usually don't mix). I thought that I might want to look into patenting my OWN pistol, but t turns out that that process takes longer than a day sometimes, and I'm sure that the patent office is flooded with pistol ideas on this particular day. All that aside, I'm substituting for a first grade class today, and... well... celebrating guns around children is one of the least smart things a person could do. And despite what northerners may think of the south, it is also frowned upon. So instead, I'll just think of reasons that I'm glad pistols exist. Sounds easy, right? Not for me. I'm more of a sword kinda guy. It just seems more poetic and gentlemanly to duel with foils rather than glocks. I'm so not into guns, I don't even know for sure if that's how you spell "glocks".

What would you do?

Today is Eskimo Pie Patent Day! A treat certainly worthy of it's own holiday, as it is a mix between both candy and ice cream. It was supposedly the first treat to do such a thing. The most famous eskimo pie (at least to me because of it's catchy jingle) is the Klondike bar, which has had every coating from chocolate to cappuccino. Today is a day to go out and eat some eskimo pies of whatever your flavor preference is, and have a moment to silently thank Christian Nelson for patenting such an awesome thing. He got inspiration from a child in his candy shop who couldn't decide on ice cream or chocolate, and only had enough for one. Luckily his original name (The I-Scream Bar) isn't still what we call it by, although still a very common thing to say. So kudos to you, Christian, oh pioneer of tasty delights!
