Daily Holidays - June 25

[Sherman A1]

National Catfish Day Catfish Day is a holiday that dates back to June 25, 1987, when U.S. President Ronald Reagan opened a presidential address by speaking about the culinary pleasures of eating catfish, and farmed catfish in particular. The President then went on to explain how catfish farming was creating both a stable income for farmers and an affordable food source for Americans. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/catfish-day/

National Strawberry Parfait Day Strawberry Parfait Day, dedicated to that delicious treat that is so welcome during the hot summer months, and craved even in the face of the biting cold of winter by the true connoisseur. The exotic sounding name brings to mind the quaint little street-side cafes of Paris, where the treat so many of us are familiar with found its origin.It’s name describes the treat to a tee, Parfait means, simply, “Perfect”. But a perfect what? The word parfait has actually been used to describe quite a number of different things, and not all of them are delicious layered deserts. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/strawberry-parfait-day/

Color TV Day There is an innovation that many of us take for granted every day. Whether we’re sitting at our computers, watching television with the family, or even playing with our handheld games, we are inundated with a bright parade of colors. Color TV Day reminds us that this hasn’t always been the case, when Television was first introduced we had nothing but black and white images, really more of a myriad shade of grey. In 1951, an event came to pass that changed the future of broadcast entertainment forever. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/color-tv-day/

Global Beatles Day It was in the year 1960, on a foggy island found Nor-Norwest of Spain that music history changed forever. Four young proto-gods came together to form what would be one of the most influential rock bands to ever come out of England, if not the entire world. We’re speaking, of course, of the Beatles. Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr. These four boys came together to change the world one song at a time. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/global-beatles-day/

1. I remember when we got a color TV

It was a big deal back then!

2. I thought the Beatles were overrated

Didn't grow up in that era, but thought they were corny, like the boy bands of today.

4. So, does the verb choice indicate you've changed your mind?

Or do you still think the Beatles are corny?

5. I respect their influence on music

But, yeah, still corny.

6. Reminds me of the woman who didn't like Shakespeare...

... because he was full of cliches.
