July 17 – Yellow Pig Day
17 JulThis crazy holiday actually has nothing to do with pigs and everything to do with math. In the 60s, two math students at Princeton were given the assignment to analyze the properties of the number 17. Like most math problems, it drove them crazy and thus they invented a mythical yellow pig with 17 eyes, 17 toes and 17 teeth. Today all math geeks get together on 7/17 to celebrate the number 17 through the use of Yellow pigs whether it be eating yellow pig cake or singing yellow pig carols. Seriously. Check out 17 yellow pig carols here.

July 15 – Get Out Of The Doghouse Day
15 JulIt just So happens that I’m not in the dog house right now. If I was there really isn’t any way to get out it’s all up to the woman to decide when she lets you out.
The term refers to sending your dog to the dog house outside so they cant cohabitate with humans anymore so when your girlfriend or wife gets upset she sends you out the doghouse. Problem with that term is people don’t have a dog house anymore. They have their dogs on the bed, licking their face. The dog house practically is the whole house. Anyways, I love this JC Penney campaign makes great use of the term by making it a real place wives send guys that give bad gifts. Hilarious stuff.
