The folks at Urlesque make 09.09.09 a day without...wha?
Our friends over at Urlesque, proposed the idea that we have a very special celebration on 9.9.09. At first I thought they wanted to celebrate the 18th birthday of the central Asian nation, Tajikstan (you finally legal baby!)
Alas the Tajikstanis were not on their mind.
Instead they proposed a day to celebrate 'that which is not there.' This celebration of absence is not some obscure branch of metaphysical nihilism.
The goal is to revel in a break from an obnoxious constant.
What single thing has permeated the internet? What being has made itself so ubiquitous across the vast reaches of cyberspace? What small domesticated mammal has become synonymous with LOLs? Which whiskered beast has been the harbinger of disaster?
Today, 9.9.09 there shall be no discussion of this critter. Today we are free to 'paint the town red' for other members of the Chordata phylum.
In the absence I choose to celebrate: Keyboard Capybara. Who will you celebrate?
Thank you to Current user saverio for getting me thinking about the lovely Capybara.
