National Nation Day

There are several holidays on the calendar that seem to be no more then an excuse to imbibe and detonate explosives, so I felt like it would go unnoticed to add my idea of a new, pointless holiday to the revelry: National Nation Day.

On this, most celebrated of days, we would all celebrate the formation of our national nation.  We would all eat baked treats in the shape of our beloved country, and we would wave flags featuring our landmarks committing acts of petty crime against other countries.  Root beer spiked with cranberry juice would be the drink of choice, and for sport, all the strapping lads and lasses would go pigeon hunting.

It would quite the holiday.

What If Our Heads Were Mushrooms?

Fig 1. Scary Glowing UFO Mushroom

Think about it.

If our heads were replaced with with glowing, multicoloured fungi.  As we walked, we would spread spores all around, breeding new mushroom-heads that would grow up around us.  Then again, it may cause overpopulation problems, so that would have to be dealt with.  Perhaps unnecessary mushroom-heads could be eaten.  It would be nutritious!  

I still think it would be cool though.  Different mushrooms could could indicate social status, vibrant Lactarias Indigo would sprout from the necks of the rich and privileged, and the poor and downtrodden would posses mere Fly Agaric for noggins. 

We'd have to maintain them of course, and water them and things like that.  Knowing humans, rituals would probably form this process.  Watering rituals.  Yes.

This post made more sense in my head.
