Give It Up for Thursday

I feel somewhat bad for Thursday. On the whole, I LIKE the day, probably better than some of the others. It just cannot get any props. Quick...think of ANYTHING commonly associated with Thursday other than Thanksgiving. See? I mean, with Black Friday coming up next week, I got to thinking that every day of the week seems to have a special moniker except Thursday.
There's a Taco Tuesday in probably every town the size of Iola, Kansas, in this country. We thank God every week for Friday so that's special for sure. Thursday? Not so much. Wasn't it Black Monday that led off the Great Depression? Now we have Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving when everybody rushes to his/her computer to buy stuff off the internet that sold out just prior to their getting in after standing in line for hours freezing their butts off outside Best Buy. Last year, for example, online orders totalled more than 30 billion dollars, and Cyber Monday was one of the biggest days, though Monday, December 12th was THE biggest with 556 million dollars in sales, according to ComScore Networks, Inc. But, I digress.
The NFL practically MADE Sunday the most important day of the week, inspite of the plethora of games played at other times. The National Church of the Tailgater has more members than any other religion worldwide.
Saturday night's alright for fighting or taking a walk in the park. It's never just another Saturday night. Face it, if musicians wax nostalgic about a day, there's
something special about it (if you didn't get those three references, you're probably too young or too musically declined). So that leaves Wednesday and Thursday.
Remember that chick Wednesday from the Addams Family? 'Nuff said about hump day...the possibilities there are endless. But Thursday? nothing
Thirsty Thursday? Thong Thursdays? Thought-provoking Thursday? I'm out of ideas, but I welcome yours.
I just feel so bad Thursday gets left out except for the over-indulgent food references to Thanksgiving and the Lions losing yet another football game. Oh well...my dad always said that life would not be fair.
