Captain Picard Day

Now, a bunch of geeks have computed from the stardate in the episode that Captain Picard Day actually takes place on June 16, meaning yesterday! This is yet another amazing day in my ever-growing list of geek holidays. To recap:

  • Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th)-also a religious holiday for the church of the FSM.
  • Pi Day (March 14th) (not to be confused with pi approximation day, July 22)-also Einstien’s Birthday AND also Steak and a BJ day.
  • Gravmas/Apple Day (December 25th)-Newton’s Birthday (in the pre-Gregorian calendar)
  • Towel Day (May 25th)- Always have your towel, so people know what a hoopy frood you are.
  • Star Wars Day (May 4th)-May the Fourth be with you.
  • Hobbit Day (September 22nd)-Frodo and Bilbo’s Birthday
  • Evolution Day (November 24th)-Date of publication of On the Origin of Species
  • National Dark Sky Week (First Week in April with a New Moon)
  • International Dadaism Month (in true Dadaist tradition: 4 February, 28 March, 1 April, 15 July, 2 August, 7 August, 16 August, 26 August, 18 September, 22 September, 1 October, 17 October, and 26 October)
  • And now, Captain Picard Day (June 16th)

I suggest now that we set up a Commander Riker Day, as in the TNG clip. This day will be exactly one month after Captain Picard Day, July 16th. I know it’s a little late to celebrate Captain Picard Day, but here’s some youtube links to make up for that:
THAT Jean-Luc Picard
PicArt
Bridge Buffoonery
Goodnight, Sweet BEEP
Picard Sings
The Picard Song
Picard Goes Crazy
Picard’s Night at the Roxbury–Be warned, this last is incredibly surreal.
There are so many more at youtube, I recommend them all.
