Entry: Its Wacking day! - A703478
Author: Lord Smooth of the grand hor-ney wacking order - U190482

Wacking day has brought so much fun into my life, that I want to share it with people who are willing to listen.

I'd prefer a whacking day...
-Lucy

"No less than four people can be involved, its just not the same."

Surely you must mean "no fewer".... (Sorry, it's compulsive)

A valid point my friend,
done and dusted.

Ah!
That would be whacking as in....
clubs and stuff?

mmm... stuff...

mmmmmmmm...

Greetings Lord Smooth

I too have been sent out into this vast wilderness to answer questions, seek the truth and spread the good word of Wacking Day for his lordship.

No longer shall one wake up in shame on a Saturday morning, wanting to gnaw his own arm off.

No more shall one recieve abuse from friends on a Saturday afternoon whilst enjoying football and beer.

The days of feeling shame and embaressment about Friday nights nocturnal activities are at last over.

Give praise and thanks to Wacking Day!

Ah!
My good friend the Marquis de suave, Your reputation proceeds you.

Let me say how pleasant it is to hear from you.

At this rate the spirit of wacking day shall never die!

Beware all, for March the 15 sees wacking day break through its boundries and go.......ON TOUR!

Lord Smooth

Yet somehow it's not the right sort of thing for the Edited Guide. Not quite sure why, but it seems to be missing a certain something. Hmm.

Where did the name 'wacking day' come from, anyway?

Im sorry I cant explain the name,
Lets just say it was a randomly picked name.
As for the guide, I just wrote this to spread the fun.
If I sorted it out could it be included?

GQ

So this isn't actually a real event then??
-Lucinda

It's as real as you want it to be.
We did it every weekend for about 5 months.
It was great!
Due to other circumstances its been put on hold, but we shall be back out again spreading the joys of Wacking Day.

Lord Smooth

Well, in that case I doubt that you'll be able to get this into the guide, because it's non-factual. Perhaps you could write an entry on "after-work parties" or something instead?

Sure it's factual. It exists, just only in the arenae of a few people

Perhaps it would be good if the entry mentioned this then? Say when and where it started, roughly how many practitioners there are, and so on.

Also, perhaps it would be better not to have this entry in the Collaborative Workshop, since there won't be any other Researchers who know about this local ritual, so they won't be able to help.

I'll sort this out someday
Keep the faith,
Or why not try some wacking yourself.

Lord Smooth

I was thinking of the episode of the Simpson's where they Whack all the snakes.


mmm. . .snakes. . .mmm
