Let me start by wishing all of you a very Happy Tuesday the 17th!
No, this is no ordinary day and yes, it's much more important than the preceding Friday the 13th. Unfortunately, the only people who have a great appreciation (or any appreciation) for this day are a group of people who have come to call themselves Psych-O's. No, it's not because we are crazy (although that's debatable) and no, it's not because we love psychology. We call ourselves Psych-O's because we are undeniably obsessed with a brilliant TV show known as Psych. If you've never heard of Psych, I'm very sorry for you and please educate yourself here http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/; If you have, congratulations and treat yourself to some delicious pineapple!
For those of you too lazy to follow the link and educate yourselves, Psych is TV series about the eccentric (who looks good in jeans) Shawn Spencer and his best friend/trusty sidekick Burton (Gus) Guster who run a Psychic Detective Agency called 'Psych'. Shawn and Gus are consultants for the Santa Barbara Police Department and have helped Detectives Carlton (Lassie) Lassiter and Juliet (Jules) O'Hara solve many cases using Shawn's paranormal abilities. Who really believes in psychics though? Maybe Shawn is just hyper-observant with an eidetic memory who was trained as a kid by his detective father to become a cop. What makes the show so great? It's never a dull moment with all of Shawn and Gus' tomfoolery and silliness, the nonsense malarkeys and shenanigans, and never forget the serious Shawn moments that are setting new heights for romantics everywhere.
So back to this Tuesday the 17th business, yes it's the Tuesday that follows a Friday the 13th which is when the episode 'Tuesday the 17th' originally aired. The episode Tuesday the 17th, aside from being one of my favorite episodes of Psych, is a spoof of Friday the 13th and other scary movie themes. The 17th day of a month falling on Tuesday doesn't happen all too often (think about the frequency of the 13th being a Friday.) so when the 17th is a Tuesday, we Psych-O's celebrate! Mostly we just wish all our other Psych-O friends a Happy Tuesday the 17th but Polo and I always make the time in our busy (ha!) lives to watch the episode 'Tuesday the 17th'. We've been lucky enough to have 3 Tuesday the 17th's to celebrate this year in 2012, but sadly this is last one for while, September 2013 to be exact. So make sure you celebrate it right Psych-O's and to all you not Psych-O's, today is a better day than any to give Psych a shot!
Celebrating Tuesday the 17th isn't the only reason Polo and I consider ourselves Psych-O's, we celebrate Psych in many other ways:
- Every Wednesday is Psych Night. New episodes air on Wednesday nights, we drop everything and watch the new episode while enjoying pineapple smoothies, Hawaiian pizza, pineapple chicken dinners or any other pineapple-y treats we can think up
- We speak in Psych Quotes. Both verbally and in sign language.
- Visiting White Rock, British Columbia is on both our bucket lists. Although set in Santa Barbara, Psych is filmed near Vancouver in White Rock, BC.
- The Adventures of D-Licious Flava and Magic Head. A series of comics written and illustrated by Polo and I starring Shawn, Gus and the Psych gang with a few special appearances.
- Pineapples. We can never have enough of them, we bring them everywhere we can (even lab!), eat one at least once a week and get too excited when we see pineapples anywhere we go. We're also dedicated to finding the hidden pineapple in every episode of Psych (and we're well on our way to that goal).
So again, Happy Tuesday the 17th everyone, hope you enjoyed this little foray into the world of Psych and the lives of Polo and I as Psych-O's!
As always, Stay Nerdy (and be a Psych-O of course!)
-Marco
