Title: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Franzl on December 15, 2009, 03:50:40 PM 1. The sixth of October is hereby designated "Opebo Day", a federal holiday.
2. All federal institutions are to be closed on this day. 3. This is in honor of Opebo's infamous "Max Hardcore" quote which was originally issued on that date in the year of 2005. Sponsor: Franzl Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Хahar 🤔 on December 15, 2009, 03:51:26 PM A+++
Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: MaxQue on December 15, 2009, 05:07:38 PM What is supposed to be the "Max Hardcore" quote?
Well, I'm not sure I want to know... Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Franzl on December 15, 2009, 05:10:14 PM Well, I'm not sure I want to know... Same here. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Mint on December 15, 2009, 05:10:26 PM Wow.
Well how I'll vote on this if it makes it through this process should be obvious. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: MaxQue on December 15, 2009, 05:19:17 PM Wow. Well how I'll vote on this if it makes it through this process should be obvious. Mint, your term begins in January. You won't vote on this bill, if all goes well.

And Fluffy Day, and Hamilton Day..........
Seriously, while I like Opebo well enough, he doesn't deserve this kind of honor. Also the holiday will likely get forgotten- I don't think anyone remembers Dave Day anymore. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on December 15, 2009, 08:45:59 PM I thought we had a policy of reducing unnecessary holidays, not adding them.
Strongly Opposed. If this passes, I shall introduce a bill to bring about the creation of a NC Yankee day for you to remember my glorious and numerous contributions to this country. :P Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: opebo on December 16, 2009, 12:41:06 AM Sure, lets have Fritz Day, too! And Fluffy Day, and Hamilton Day.......... Seriously, while I like Opebo well enough, he doesn't deserve this kind of honor. Also the holiday will likely get forgotten- I don't think anyone remembers Dave Day anymore. Of course I don't 'deserve' such an honor, Senator, the people do. And most particularly the children. Think of the Children Senator. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on December 16, 2009, 03:03:55 AM I would love such bill:
Kalwejt Day The date of day when Kalwejt break 42 post average is hereby declared a day of national mourning. All institutions are closed and all childred shall cry under a threat of imminent execution. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: tmthforu94 on December 16, 2009, 09:00:20 AM A tough one...
On one hand, it's not that big of an issue, and since it appears a lot of people want it, what's the big deal? But on the other, if we get this started, we'll have dozens of bills flowing through establishing days for other Atlasians. This could set a bad precedent. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Hash on December 16, 2009, 10:02:19 AM What is the pratical and realistic use of this?
Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: opebo on December 16, 2009, 10:40:07 AM What is the pratical and realistic use of this? The education and edification of the children, Senator. Please think of the Children. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Psychic Octopus on December 16, 2009, 11:44:44 AM What exactly warrants Opebo to a holiday? I've never been quite sure.
Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: Franzl on December 16, 2009, 11:48:59 AM What exactly warrants Opebo to a holiday? I've never been quite sure. Nothing, but we didn't have anything better to discuss. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: opebo on December 16, 2009, 01:33:39 PM What exactly warrants Opebo to a holiday? I've never been quite sure. Have you no public spirit, sir? A country is not merely bricks, mortar, and machine guns. It has a soul, sir, a soul. And the Children need to know it. Title: Re: Establishment of Opebo Day Bill (Debating) Post by: RIP Robert H Bork on December 16, 2009, 01:35:11 PM What exactly warrants Opebo to a holiday? I've never been quite sure. Absolutely nothing. I have been urging the Senate to end this stupidity and to have this bill tabled.
