Ah!!! I've been there!!!

"In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus... ein, zwei, zuffa..."

Watching the barmaids carry trays of those huge mugs is a sight to behold!!

Am I the only person who never had heard of that alternate name for Veterans Day?

Appa23 wrote:Am I the only person who never had heard of that alternate name for Veterans Day?

No- I'd never heard of it either.

And the only real reference I'm finding online is an NPR interview transcript.

I'm guessing it's not widely known, but since the question is really asking "What date's numbers resemble courduroy fabric?" it doesn't really matter.

Appa23 wrote:Am I the only person who never had heard of that alternate name for Veterans Day?

No, I don't recalling hearing that name, either.

It's still Armistice Day, anyway.

Nihil obstat®. But I hope Dr. Dan gets a word from the APs that he needs to talk a little faster; his suthren drawl caused him to come close to the expiration of TDC®.

The accent was enjoyable and he didn't come that close to time running out. (He'd have been covered by the "final answer in progress" loophole, anyway.)

It's Remembrance day in Canada and Australia.
