TO THE HOPPER - DRAFT
Talossan Holiday (TBD): TO LOSE A LOUIS
Whereas a pint's a pound the world around (when using US volume) and,
Whereas there's an anecdote that a Louis was at one point defined by the price of a US pint of domestic draft beer at a bar run by Fritz von Buchholtz and was equivalent to 59 bence (now rounded up to 60), and
Whereas, many individuals could stand to have less body mass, even temporarily, and
Whereas, there's always a need for donated blood, typically taken as a pint, and
Whereas, a pint can be reintroduced carefully at a variety of fine establishments, thus
BE IT RESOLVED THAT (DATE) is TO LOSE A LOUIS DAY where Talossans are encouraged to lose one louis of weight and one louis of volume and donate blood and then replace it with a liquid refreshment of their choice.
I last did this on Veterans/Rememberance day, and plan to do it again on Groundhog Day so this will be still in the hopper, but perhaps we can find an appropriate date on the Talossan Calendar to introduce the concept.
