The only practical or functional reason for having a calendar is to keep track of the holidays.

(In this "modern" business world, everything else happens pretty much the same, every day, so who cares what day it is.)

The holidays are when we all get naked and go frolic in the forests.

Without a calendar, some of us might find ourselves all alone, frolicking in solitary desolation - which ain't no fun at all.

The obsession that Little Hawk has with the calendar quite probably springs from that time when we posted the phony calendar and he showed up in the forest the day after we all had held our spiritual observences, and he's had to live with the inuendos about "solitary abuse" ever since.

There is no reason to feel sorry for him, or to give great credence to his babblings, as he has the sympathy of his Beagles (and perhaps of Chongo) who understand that solitary stuff quite well enough to offer whatever condolences and sympathy his plight deserves.
