Guiness Thursday
Not often does such genius strike a person on the midst of a Wednesday afternoon, I might even say it may have been my Eureka moment. I invented Guiness Thursday, a day that exceeds all other named days, including Good Friday, Easter Monday and others such as Ash Wednesday, which until today I believed was named because of the bushfires that spread accross Victoria, Australia on Wednesday, Feb 16th 1983. What irony.
I must jump back in time for a bit, to Wednesday night, as I excitedly rushed home after my moment of revelation, to make sure said idea was indeed as original and ingenious as I thought it was. A quick google search, left me slightly shattered, as it returned four results, but I was happy to discover that whilst the term had been phrased before, it definitely didn’t appear to be in common usage. And everyone knows the first and foremost rule of just about anything, and thats if you like an idea, copy it and make it ten times better. So I did, and on we go.
Guiness Thursday is a momentous occasion, as it doesn’t attempt to rival any of these religious holidays for importance, but attempts to enrich them, forming a union in which pleasure time can be enhanced by grouping said days together, whereever possible. Every Thursday, I will endevour to enforce a strict Guiness policy for myself and my collegues and anyone else who’ll join.
This shall bring enjoyment for all who believe in the new way. And certain times of the year we will benefit greatly from its creation. Take Easter Week for instance, usually we have Good Friday thru Easter Monday off work. With Guiness Thursday, we’ll have an even better Easter Weekend, with a classy lead up to the festive period with a Thursday afternoon of several pints of Ireland’s finest. In fact, and I don’t mean to offend anyone here, in a few hundred years the meaning of the Easter weekend may well just change, in that Good Friday is good for the fact we enjoyed Guiness Thursday so much.
You see, Guiness Thursday is not just a childish notion, nor is it a passing phase. It’s an ideal, and aims to make everyones Post-humpday just that much better, for the improvement of man-kind.
Please, join me, and post stories of your Guiness Thursday exploits. I’m interested in feedback of all kinds.

[...] I thought I’d preface this post by saying I don’t really give a hoot(aus: horrendous expletive) about Australian politics, even less so since re-materialising aross the other side of the world all but half a year ago. I’m a person who, like most Australians my age (from what I’ve seen) has no real political agenda, and as such am perfectly happy to follow in my parents footsteps, because thats what mindless drones do. I should also make note of the fact that because I don’t have my own political views (thus my new title, the Political Aphathist), the one sided view and pros and cons for that view expressed in this post will either make no sense, be next to intelligible, or be down right bigoted and/or selfish. So if your a communist, or easily upset by fanatical ramblings, stop reading this post, relax and prepare yourself for Guiness Thursday. [...]
