Shalampax Pride Day
Few people know this, but yesterday was Shalampax Pride Day. In fact, as far as I can tell, one or two people in the government were aware of that, but no one else was.
The problem is that Manexposinghimself, under his executive authority as Prime Minister, unilaterally issued the proclamation setting aside yesterday as Shalampax Pride Day just before Parliament was shut down or, in the parliamentary vernacular, prorogued to commemorate National Democracy Month throughout January. Because there was no one around to do so, the proclamation was not published publicly.
Just to be clear, in this case, “Pride” refers to national pride, not gay pride; not, as they say, that there is anything wrong with that.
To the best of my knowledge, because almost no one knew about Shalampax Pride Day, there were no celebrations in its honor yesterday. That’s just as well because, in the exceptionally rare moments when any of us spend any time thinking about it, much less caring about it, we are typically ashamed of our country, not proud of it.
Shalampaxians are not proud of having the most successful email spammers and scammers in the world?
@David: We don’t like to publicly admit pride in that because a surprising number of people in the rest of the world think there’s something wrong with it. Go figure.
