It's Official!

Attention!

Sampson and Whikiwhak (see also, Bobby Teenager) have concluded their search for new more powerful names for the days of the week.

As of September 1, 2006, please be aware of certain calendar changes, especially for those affiliated in some way with Fivefloortytwo or FiveThirtyFloor and Landis Hall Council. The stale names (see also, traditional) of the days of the week have been revoked their rights due to lack of power and the need for people using these days of the week to have a more ready access to power. Original names (see also, outdated) may be used over the course of the next few months during a "phase out" time period, but mostly in a parenthetical format (e.g. Hemanday (Thursday)).

We would like to thank the sources of power that will be sponsering certain days of the week for the power they possess and for being so willing to provide everyday men and women with additional power to make it through the day.

And now, the annoucing of the new days

Henceforth, the first day of the week will be known as OptimusPrimeday.*
Henceforth, the second day of the week will be known as CareBearStareday.*
Henceforth, the third day of the week will be known as Sheraday.**
Henceforth, the fourth day of the week will be known as Voltronday.
Henceforth, the fifth day of the week will be known as Hemanday.**
Henceforth, the sixth day of the week will be known as SuperSaiyanday.*
Henceforth, the seventh day of the week will be known as NinjaTurtlesday.***

(may the reader understand that the first day of the week is equivilant with the day formerly known as Sunday.)
for a brief explantion, see below.

Optimus Prime, whose name come from the same roots as "optimal" and "primary," became an easy choice to replace the first day of the week. His source of power being one of transformation is also appropriate for the day before the workweek begins. As he stands tall and proud, so may those who derive his power and as he also is known to be solid as a mac truck, so may those who derive his power begin their week.
Care Bears are known in several formats, usually portrayed as cutesy little stuffed animals and playthings for children. Do not be fooled. For when evil threatens to disturb the ordinary lives of boys and girls (and men and women), a beam of hardcoreness shoots forth from their midsections, ready to stare evil down. Their placement on the first workday of the week is therefore appropriate as many need a beam of hardcoreness to begin the week.
She-ra is the princess of power and therefore stands ready to continue to provide power as the week tarries on. Her source of power comes from her twin relationship with He-man (see below) and from her Femininity.
Voltron's source of power comes from its unity of many coming together to form one. Its patron day, then, is appropriately placed that all may band together to make it over the hump.
He-man is the prince of power and provides and equal balance to the power of She-ra, albiet in a masculine form.
While Dragon Ball Z is at least better known in less "old school" times, the ultimate power that is the Super Saiyan provides power on the last day of the work week to finish projects and keep everyone going as they head out from work into the nightlife of the weekend.
The final day of the week is equally deserving and needful of power, but perhaps in a more laid back way. For this reason, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been chosen to be the fun-loving, butt-kicking source of power for the laid back, worry-free day of the week.

It shall also be recommending to refer to these days in short form as follows:
1: OP(D), 2:CBS, 3:SR(D),4: VD or VTD, 5:HM(D), 6:SS(D), and 7:NT(D)
OR
O -- C -- R -- V -- H -- S -- N (our apologies to Ms. Ra)

Feel free to leave comments voicing your agreement and rejoicing, they will be cherished. You may also leave comments of critique and they will be duly noted and discarded. Thank you.

*These 3 days of the week may be spelled with only one capital letter (the first) or as shown above. Either way is acceptable.
**It seems easiest to read and comprehend to leave these days without the hyphen that is part of the day's patron's name. However, we leave the choice to whomever whether to use it or not.
***We understand that this is not the full title of the source(s) of power representing this day, however, for ease's sake, the name has be shortened enough to be specific and at the same time not ridiculously long.

Comments:
i can't believe dragonball-z got a spot. pathetic.
 
Well if its Comments you want...

I still think that Thunder Cats Day should be in there... but I am unsure of who should be booted from the list. Clearly we just need more days of the week.
 
Maybe TCD could be a holiday? Also, Andy brougth up the point that perhaps Voltronday should not be abbreviated as VD. People could get confused...and itchy. Maybe VTD?
