Pet Peeves

According to a morning radio DJ it's Pet Peeve Week or something.

Ironically, one of my pet peeves is the unnecessary creation (by...
Hallmark? People with no lives?) of events to commemorate things that need
not be commemorated. Like Kiss Your Poodle Day or White History Month or
Pet Peeve Week.

Knock it off. Is it supposed to bring cheer to our lives or get us out of
the mundane or something? Are there people out there who flip the calendar
over to a new month and squeal with joy because on the 15th it will be
National Bring Your Pet Rock to Work Day or next Tuesday will be George
Lazenby Lookalike Appreciation Day? Get a life already.

You win bonus points for the most obscure reference in a blog post. I mean, who even knows the name George Lazenby these days?

Thanks, that's exactly what I was shooting for.
