Those who know me best know I am an advocate of Cheese Weasel Day (CWD) April 3rd. I have been promoting the celebration since I first heard of it. As a marketing person, I have a special place in my heart for weasels, so you know I gotta give props to the Cheese Weasel on this blog!
I am on a little break from posting on the Ministry Marketing Mindset, I will be back posting again very soon. (In fact I have been drafting a couple posts already.) But while the holiday mood lasts, send a CWD greeting to someone you know who works in the Internet! Geeks are people too, you know!
What in the world is Cheese Weasel Day?
Cheese Weasel Day is a real holiday that started on the internet sometime in the last 15 years. Like most holidays, Cheese Weasel Day is shrouded in history and traditions that many who celebrate it may not understand. Until recently Cheese Weasel Day, has been celebrated quietly on April 3rd by many around the world. This holiday is a special fun day dedicated to “all the good little boys and girls” in the high-tech industry.
Legend has it (and the internet has many legends) the Cheese Weasel travels the world, leaving a bit of cheese under keyboards. The type really doesn’t matter though Kraft Singles were once the cheese of choice. However, depending on how often you look under your keyboard, the C.W. might place a wedge of cheddar instead.
Here is how you can celebrate:
1. Send someone you know in the tech sector a Cheese Weasel Day Greeting card. You’ll find Cheese Weasel Day E-cards! on one of the sites I manage. See the E-card section http://www.mostimportantthing.org/People/Ecards.aspx
2. Arrange secretly for a slice of Cheese to be placed under the mouse pad of a tech person you know.
3. Check back in a few days to make sure they found the Cheese. (Just to be sanitary. I mean, if they leave it there indefinitely, it could really smell cheesy)
4. Go to http://www.cheeseweasel.com/ and learn the Cheese Weasel Song so you can sing it at your own Weasel elebration
Are you feeling these actions are a little too cheesy to try? That’s the spirit of Cheese Weasel Day!
