Burt Reynolds as James Bond? 😂 Giant Snowmen & Spilled Milk! | Have YOU Heard?
February 11th is a day for drying those tears – I’ll explain why later in the show – but first…
Today, we also celebrate the birthday of Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds! Born on February 11th, 1936, Burt’s famous for his roles in Smokey and the Bandit and The Longest Yard. Fun fact: He once famously turned down the role of James Bond, saying, “I wouldn’t want to wear a tuxedo for the rest of my life!” Which, let’s be honest, might have been the most Bond thing he ever said.
If you’re a fan of minty treats, then today is your day to celebrate. It’s National Peppermint Patty Day! It’s a day to recognize the famous peppermint-flavored candy with a chocolate coating. Just like that fresh breath feeling you get after eating one, this holiday’s all about a little “zing” of minty freshness in your life.
On February 11, 2008, in the town of Bethel, Maine, the world’s largest snowman was built! Standing a towering 122 feet tall, it was called Olympia and was built by a group of volunteers. You know what they say—when life gives you snow, build a giant snowman that’s bigger than most of your problems.
The #1 song on Thursday, February 11th 1999 was Baby One More Time by Britney Spears.
Today is National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day! A day to remind ourselves that life’s little mishaps are no reason to get upset. The saying originates from the idea that once milk is spilled, there’s no point in crying over it because it can’t be undone. But if you spill your coffee? I think that’s a legitimate reason for a mini-meltdown. Am I right?
