The "Chuckle Calendar"

Yesterday's blogg was titled "The Secret - Advent Calendar" which was the spark of an idea expressed by my decision to step out of my "Attention Disorder" (see blogg 2 days back).
Today this spark has become clearer in that I am withdrawing the reference to the title above, and changing it to The "Chuckle Calendar".
1. I do not wish to infringe the integrity of anyone's copyright, whether real or imagined
2. The concept behind the Advent Calendar is fabulous but this little project feels to have much more potential in it than to be limited by the possible seasonal association with the word "Advent", which of course can have different meaning to different people."Chuckle" on the other hand has universal potential is great to share, anytime of the year.
3. As important is the fact that no-one has the right to limit or deprive others of their opportunity or ability to "Chuckle and the title is naturally expansive - there could be the "Kids Chuckle Calendar", The Canadian Mounties Chuckle Calendar", or even "The Siberian Society for the Salutation of Sub-terraean Subcutinous Shifting Sands Society Chuckle Calendar"!
The idea is to collect and compile entries for the first "Chuckle Calendar during December to issue January and then month by month on a rolling basis. What better way to start a New Year than with a Chuckle!
Naturally like anything this will evolve in its own natural way.
I have already decided on my one and only New Year Resolution - To challenge myself to a "Chuckle a Day" and for my mantra for 2008 to be "A chuckle a day keeps Attention Disorder at bay"
