h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello all you other fabulous Thingites!I have been doing a bit of research since Wimpy, and I have come to the following conclusion:

I have found a better name for Poets Day.

GASP!GASP!GASP!(?)GASP!

Poets Day, I think, could too quickly become confused with a holiday, or even the rest of the general language. I have 2 suggestions. Here's one;

1) Make a compound word (Poetsday)

Here's the second one which I promised you;

2) Rename it Poites or Poitesday, which is Greek for "poets"

Here's the third one, which I didn't even tell you about;

3) Tell yourself, "Man, this guy is crazy" and don't do anything.

YOU MUST TAKE ONE OF THESE SUGGESTIONS!!!!!i!!!!!!
Of course, I'm sort of cheating, 'cause nothing is one of the options. Tehehehehe.

Your faithful philologist (lover of language),

Man, this guy is crazy. We where trying to get rid of the dull days which end in 'day'.

Man 'diz' guy iz crazy! Nevertheless, your zeal is appreciated, however, The Manifesto is non-negotiable and final.

Have a blueberry muffin for thine efforts.

why thank you! I always enjoy being called crazy! I myself thought the third option considerably more desirable. I guess I just wanted the world to know I'm one of the few left who enjoys a good run at insanity.
I now declare that

POETS DAY SHALL REMAIN POETS DAY!etc. etc.

Of course, it never changed, did it it ?

Ciao!

We did briefly consider calling it P'Tang Zoop Boing when you weren't looking.

Wasn't there an alternative name considered for Wibble waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back?

I think I originally wanted to call F**day, 'Piffle.' ::thinks::

I like piffle!

Well you know so did I. But Poets had (shock) more internal coherence. I like the sound of piffle (there aren't enough days with F's in them) but I was ultimately voted down.

Well bugger me - *this* forum is ranked as being more popular than ask h2g2.

Yeah.

Perhaps we should rename the 28th of August piffle?

You mean it?

Yup. And why not?

Hey you know me. I'd rename America, Mildred Kartopplekoff if I thought I could get away with it.

I like the sound of that. Couldn't we have a Campaign to rename all the countries of the world?

All your base belong to us.

You have no chance to survive, make your time!
