We should remove the second 'e' while we're at it. Why not just make it Wensday. And the first 'r' in February. It's should just be Febuary ffs.

This thread made me look up the etymology:
fourth day of the week, Old English wodnesdæg "Woden's day," a Germanic loan-translation of Latin dies Mercurii "day of Mercury" (compare Old Norse Oðinsdagr, Swedish Onsdag, Old Frisian Wonsdei, Middle Dutch Wudensdach). For Woden, see Odin.
Contracted pronunciation is recorded from 15c. The Odin-based name is missing in German (mittwoch, from Old High German mittwocha, literally "mid-week"), probably by influence of Gothic, which seems to have adopted a pure ecclesiastical (i.e. non-astrological) week from Greek missionaries. The Gothic model also seems to be the source of Polish środa, Russian sreda "Wednesday," literally "middle."
That was more interesting than I expected.

So basically, you're admitting that you pronounce everything as one word. Thanks.

Wait, fuck. Are you telling me that Chef Excellence of all people is Matt?
How is that possible? How could such an awful poster also be one of the best posters around?

Rename it "Odinsday". Also, "Thorsday", and "Freyasday". Restore the Norseness.
Offset that by banishing a thousand white nationalists to the Moon, though.

Thor is more of a Marvel thing now. Many would think that Thorsday was a tribute to Marvel.
