Louie, Louie is investigated by the FBI due to accusations of it being pornographic. After two years of looking into the matter the FBI declared the song “unintelligible at any speed” and therefore was not pornographic.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Military Honors
We give our biggest salute to ARMED FORCES DAY and honor all of the nearly 1.5 million service members, veterans, and those who have passed on. Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force are all covered, and all get our undying gratitude and respect. Thank you one and all for your service.
Celebrate You with…
The familiar march plays, the expectant crowd waits, and the robed students commence their walk down the aisle. Graduation is finally here and so is NATIONAL GRADUATION TASSEL DAY. A culmination of years of work, learning, studying and just living life are at hand as these young men and women step forward to receive their hard-earned diplomas and prepare to take on the next chapter of life. Cap and gown are the standard fare, and the tassel on the cap may very well end up dangling from a rearview mirror. Before that, the tassel must be moved to signify the moment. Undergraduates and high schoolers move theirs from right to left. Graduate and doctorate students keep their tassels on the left since they have already graduated. We congratulate each and every one of you on a job well done and may your future be as bright as that smile on your face.
Hi, my name is Kevin, and I’m a pack rat. NATIONAL PACK RAT DAY serves no other purpose than to make you ask yourself, do you really need those Sky and Telescope Magazines from the 80’s? How about that tote of random stuff you’ve been lugging around for years? Sometimes, it may not be your fault (self-justification) – at first – but after those “treasures” have been sitting in the basement for years, you may have to redirect that blame and take a little action. Including myself on this one.
Education and Information
NATIONAL LEARN TO SWIM DAY says everyone should know how to swim, though for some people, fear of the water is a real thing. The YMCA offers special TOW (Terrified Of Water) and regular classes to get you doing laps in no time.

How about a healthy snack on NATIONAL WALNUT DAY? Before you think this day is nutty, it is a bona fide national holiday since it was proclaimed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower himself, in 1958. Full of protein and nutrients, walnuts go great in a variety of recipes and are also just fine all by themselves.
Our dessert of the day will make any mouth water. NATIONAL CHERRY COBBLER DAY is here to sweeten the pot. All you need for this one is yellow, or chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling and a can of dark or white soda. Dump the pie filling in the pan, dump the cake mix on top of that and pour the soda on last (dark soda with chocolate cake mix, white soda with yellow). Bake at 350 until the toothpick comes out clean. There are fancier recipes, but the “dump cake” method works pretty well. Do not forget the vanilla ice cream.

After two years of playing the record at various speeds, talking to the songwriter, analyzing the lyrics, and putting it through whatever else they could think of – the song was declared “Unintelligible at any speed”, and therefore was not pornographic
