HAPPY WHALE FISH DAY EVE! Am I a dork for celebrating "Whale Fish Day" every March 18th? Best holiday ever!

hm funny how some people think that this song is promoting whaling. you have to sail in treacherous and inhospitable waters, where you might get kill'd after which your pasing would barely be mourned... "yay! where do i sign up?"
