April generally leads us to think about spring, in the northern hemisphere anyway, and plant life sprouting. My grandfather used to tell me is was when the hippies began to come in bloom. He often spoke with disdain about “the freaks get gutsy with the warmth.” Perhaps that’s why he moved to Alaska after he retired.
In April we see some real winners like “Emotional Overheating Awareness Month” and”Womens Eye Health & Safety Month.”
We just can’t contain ourselves when it comes to “Nationally Sexually Transmitted Disease Month” though. Why do we have to always go with the bigger names hunh? What about those regional variants of the clap that include black ooze or crabs that cause anal fissures? I say we need a week to spread awareness about the Bronx crabs and the South Philly clap.
Our personal favorite for April is that it is Frog Month. That’s right, official and everything, our amphibian friends have a month of notoriety that doesn’t include being compared to chicken for taste, locked in mayo jars, stabbed with a gig or squashed flat on Interstate 5.

April is frog month & therefore not a weird holiday
