Sewer Appreciation Day

June 5th
Educate | Give Thanks | Have Fun







  • If you've never heard about the International Sewer Appreciation Day - it may be becuase, well, it doesn't exist... yet! 
  • We plan to showcase the power of our community by creating this holiday that badly needs to exist - and no, it's not about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom, it's about paying tribute to the importance of sanitation and the engineering marvels that underpin our (relatively) civilized society. 
How often do you think about sewers?
Less than the Roman Empire? 
Well, we are on a quest to change that - sewers are even cooler than the Roman Empire!*

So really, when you are walking down the street you never think about what's right under your feet - but it's actually at the very heart of our civilization! We all take for granted that we flush - our shit magically disappears, never to be seen again - and we never give any thanks. Christians thank their god for the bread he gives them every day - we Pastafarians are going to start thanking our creator for the pleasure to not have to smell each other's shit, and most importantly - we are also going to thank all the sanitation workers and engineers who've made it possible.

Did you notice how sewers are shaped... kind of noodly? That's no coincidence. It took us a while to realize it but the sewer system is yet another manifestation of the body of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! From now on, the sewage system is officially a holy pastafarian shrine.

So, from now on, every 4th of May, or thereabouts if we decide to be cool like Christians with their wandering easter holiday, we'll be celebrating the International Sewer Appreciation Day!

Also, as any respectable religious organization we are fiercely opposed to our competitors. The International Sewer Appreciation day is a great way to throw the Jedi... in the sewers! They've been celebrating their May the 4th thing for a while and now it's time to overshadow them on their most special day and to reclaim it as our own. There can only be one alternative religion! I mean, Star Wars is owned by Disney now - they are basically worshipping Mickey fucking Mouse!

* Actually the Romans had sewers, so I guess Roman sewers are the coolest thing ever!
