Topin Wagglegammon 2009!
Celebrating Topin Wagglegammon is meant to be fun. The trouble is, when you're trying to celebrate the Niftiest Day of the Year, it's easy to feel like you have to do a particularly impressive job of it. If you aren't careful, pretty soon you're actually putting effort into your celebrations and the planning thereof. Whether it's the pressure of always finding a new and different way to celebrate or the difficulty of choosing what snacks to eat with your tea, getting ready for Topin Wagglegammon can all too easily become work. From there, it's only a small step to it becoming stressful, and from there, not fun. Obviously, a niftyday dedicated to entertainment should ideally be fun to prepare for, and not stressful, but if you're a really dedicated celebrator, or if you're hosting a gathering, getting caught up and overwrought is an all too real possibility. How can you alleviate that stress and worry? Easy: rather than waste time, energy, and glucose planning our own forms of celebration, just follow our reasonably-comprehensive and sufficiently-useful Official Stuff List. Remember: we make planning for Topin Wagglegammon a complete disaster, so that you don't have to.
In 2011, the Topin Wagglegammon Organizers' National Klatch of Yeasties decreed that Topin Wagglegammon should be celebrated with footnotes. People are encouraged to fill their writing, their messages, their emails, and if possible even their speech with footnotes! Footnotes can be used to spread information easily and efficiently, but can also be used to make information hidden and utterly inaccessible. Of course, footnotes really only have meaning in interactions with others, so Topin Wagglegammon 2011 required celebrants to spread the Topin Wagglegammon joy with others through all manner of communication (and miscommunication).
