National Drink Wine Day 2014!
Now you may be wondering why I chose to honor the most sacred of holidays, National Drink Wine Day, with an image from the 1960's Batman Series. I have two very specific reasons. First, I am a serious Batman fan. I've seen all the movies (yes, even the George Clooney one). I even have many of the original cartoon series on DVD and I am proud to say it! (I'm still waiting for a Nightwing movie - get on that Christopher Nolan!)
Second, I love how the 1960s Robin frequently had great reactionary one-liners. Something along the lines of, "holy smokes Batman!" Well, as I sat down to write this post I thought, "is there some Robin one-liner that accurately describes my feelings towards the awesomeness that is National Drink Wine Day?" Well, you are in luck -- I found one!
Yep, 1960s Robin is shouting out my concern for my poor bank account after I hit the wine store for some libations to celebrate this wonderful holiday! I am not sure what I am drinking yet, but it will likely be something red. If you are looking for history on the origin of National Drink Wine Day, there is not much out there. The best I could find is that the day celebrates wine generally and its health benefits. But, let's be honest... do we really need a reason to celebrate wine? I think not.
So get out there and grab something special for tonight, it may be Tuesday but that is no reason not to grab something nice to celebrate National Drink Wine Day. Let me know if you find something special worth sharing in the comments!
Cheers!
Oh and I will leave you with one last "Robinism" that really made me laugh (special thanks to holysmokesbatman.com - so glad I found you). It's good to know Robin is concerned about the Constitution.
