Happy Feast of Maximum Occupancy Day!!

A few months ago a few of my friends and I decided that we were tired of all of the commercialized holidays and that we were coming up with our own new holiday: the Feast of Maximum Occupancy day. It is officially celebrated on the day after the 28th of February. The celebration requires that you bring a food from your favorite holiday and wear a bathrobe. It is a celebration of gluttony for sure, and it is also a requirement that you show up with grievances to be aired. There were some common themes among the grievances ranging from boys who are mean to roommates that tap dance, but Bishop's list of 6 took the cake, I think. It started with getting scabies while traveling in Japan and had blown out tires and broken ribs thrown in as well. We had a pretty good representation of foods from many other holidays as well: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mardi Gras, and Cinco de Mayo just to name a few. So, like many other holidays that have "mascots" like Santa and the Easter Bunny, the mascot for the Feast of Maximum Occupancy is an unkempt, overweight, sitting-on-the-couch Matthew McConaughey (NOT the hot guy one might think of when you hear his name!). So, we are all completely gorged with yummy homemade dinner and dessert right now, and we all feel a lot better after having talked about the annoying people/things in our lives right now! Good times with great friends, you just can't beat that!

If you've ever looked for an excuse to have fun hanging out with your really good friends, the Feast of Maximum Occupancy may be the holiday for you. Only 364.5 more days till it comes around again! I'll have pictures from Erica coming soon. I know the blog gets boring without any pictures...
