Burdock Day celebrates the Burdock in all of us. What is Burdock? For some, it’s an unending drive towards near perfection. For others, it’s the 11th hour (and 59th minute) last ditch, 110% effort that goes into making experiences in our building top notch. A small few might suggest it’s the “Get The Crane”, grab ‘um by the horns attitude. And lastly, Burdock is any of a group of biennial thistles in the genus Arctium or a leather bag, used by sheep headers, to carry wine.
No matter what you consider to be “Burdock”, we request that you help us celebrate this year on May 19th. How can you participate? Here are the Ten Ways to Celebrate Burdock Day:
1. Buy a T-shirt at skreened.com : http://skreened.com/holyjuan/burdock-day Choose your favorite color and wear your shirt with pride.
2. Buy the larger frozen meal to fill up and not be hungry later in the afternoon.
3. Shave your head and claim that the ladies dig it.
4. Embrace the message and stay true to the Big Idea.
