[WikiEN-l] “Can you imagine the president of the American Camellia Society having three stuffed bears in the courthouse?”

I've started trawling through our 117 articles which contain the term

I've already found the very wonderful
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_Stomping_Day

And my suspicions have been aroused by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalie_von_Rauch which has been up since
2006.

Plus I've fixed a typo of July 31 and removed an unsourced DOB
