This is the kind of national holiday I can get behind.

Some suggestions for what you can do to observe National Graeme Day:

(BTW, just because you may not know who Graeme Smith is, it doesn't mean you can;t make an effort; This is an inclusive celebration)

1) Hit things really far
2) Get angry at administrators and have to be restrained by a colleague
3) Clean a cricket bat with nail varnish whilst half naked
4) Encourage your pretty young work colleagues to text you when they miss you
5) Injure both your arms and still insist on doing something that requires the use of both arms.
6) Eat a taco really quickly before anyone else notices
7) Be much larger in real life than people expect
8) Tell the truth even when it pisses off important people
9) Be svelte
10) get a huge crowd of Australians to cheer at you
11) Be statuesque
12) Covet other people's chips
13) Complete the to do list you have pinned to your fridge
14) Look suprisngly good in pink
15) Cheat on your fitness test
16) Have captainly hair
17) Point at people until they move
18) Be much better and significantly less whiny than KP
19) Covet shiny things
20) Try to touch your nose with your tongue when you're bored

If you're wanting to celebrate the day from a different angle, (or you've done all the above things by lunchtime and want to challenge yourself) you could also choose from the following options:

A) Celebrate National Ashwell Prince Day by being really, really annoyed about things
B) Celebrate National AB Day by videoing everything, even when the people you're filming are getting a bit annoyed
C) Celebrate National Dale Day by catching a small, naive crocodile
D) Celebrate National Paul Harris Day by being good natured whilst everyone tells you you're not terribly good at what you do, despite the fact that you are.
E) Celebrate National Morne Morkel Day by walking in the wrong direction
F) Celebrate National Makhaya Day by yelling and whooping all day
G) Celebrate National JP Day by being incredibly cool
H) Celebrate National Albie Morkel Day by being a lot shorter than your brother
I) Celebrate National Neil McKenzie Day by turning a light switch on and off
J) Celebrate National Hashim Amla Day by growing an excellent beard
K)Celebrate National Wayne Parnell Day by being much more attractive than a nineteen year old has any right to be
L) Celebrate National Roelof Van De Merve Day by letting people call you Rudolph
K) Celebrate National Mark Boucher Day by picking a fight with a phone box

I think you're missing out on the potential of National Kallis Day. It doesn't sound good at first but we could be a bit overweight, unwilling to do physical exercise and then finish it all by being slightly underwhelming at work.

That brings me to the slightly uncomfortable realisation that *every* day is National Kallis day

On National Boeta Dieppenar Day I'm teaming up with a work colleage and purchasing some disease-free antelope.

National Garnett Kruger Day would be good. We can sit somewhere comfoy and pay small children to fetch us ice cream.

National Nella Day will be fabulous. We can be completely and utterly nuts.

On National Herschelle Day we can drive really fast, disappear around lunchtime and then reappear in the afternoon sipping an orange juice.

We can also be cheerful and wander off to play with a ball while other people do complicated things. And say we don't know when people ask us stuff.

On National Monde Zondeki Day you could take part in a lacklustre mexican wave.

We have to be careful about giving Trotsky a day, he might take advantage and try to get a whole year.

Shouldn't Neil's be "find someone with a broken finger... then smack it!"?

And I am now on the hunt for G doing all of those things.

(Dalemuse also wishes to inform you that it was a really big crocodile, actually)

In fairness to Neil McKenzie, he didn't actually track down someone with a broken hand. The broken hand came to him.

But he certainly knew what to do with it ;)

He's probably been slightly irritated by Graeme before. He'd worked out a plan.

It's better than anyone else's plan.

Dale himself said it was "small and naive". Maybe he was just being modest.

Hey, I just thought I'd let you know, this entry came up on one of my google alerts for Graeme.
