Holidays are a farce. No, this is not a declaration of warfare against Christmas. I'm talking about the process by which some random, inane person, place, or thing gets its own day assigned to it. Marketplace reported that it's not all that hard—many organizations just say that it's _____ day, and, voila!, it's a holiday. Easy. That's a whopping 1/365th of all existence dedicated to whatever, people. And now, bobbleheads have been given their own sizable chunk of time.Happy #NationalBobbleheadDay from the only one that matters. pic.twitter.com/4COuOUNf92

On the other end of the cool spectrum, the Charleston RiverDogs, the Yankees' Class-A affiliate, saw this as a chance to remind everyone of this past summer's "bobble boobs" giveaway: a headless, armless pair of boobs to literally objectify (for "breast cancer awareness"). Good god, y'all.@Dodgers @ClaytonKersh22 @HyunJinRyu99 @YasielPuig all 80 dodger stadium giveaways in order from 2001-2015 pic.twitter.com/y2h2t4fkJh
