Jerry Steffen's Holiday Quiz: Mouse Racing, Keyboard Crumbs, and Bow Tie Trivia!

Ever wondered if there's a holiday for literally everything? Wonder no more! Jerry's latest "Hashtag Holiday Calendar And Pop Quiz" (brought to you by One Coachella Valley) proved that Thursday, August 28th was packed with the most delightfully random celebrations.

National Race Your Mouse Day: The Ultimate Waiting Game

First up: National Race Your Mouse Day – and no, we're not talking about the squeaky kind! This computer-centric holiday celebrates that universal habit of frantically moving your mouse cursor around the screen while waiting for something to load. Jerry confessed he's been doing this forever, and honestly, who hasn't? Bonus points if you think it makes your computer work faster (spoiler alert: it doesn't, but we'll keep believing).

Crackers Over the Keyboard: A Neat Freak's Nightmare

Next came National Crackers Over the Keyboard Day, which had Jerry practically shuddering. This "holiday" encourages snacking while surfing the web, but our tidy weatherman was having none of it. "If I saw crumb on my keyboard, it would drive me crazy," he declared. Consider yourself warned if you're thinking about munching near Jerry's workstation!

Comic Books Go Public

International Read Comic Books in Public Day got Jerry reminiscing about childhood stacks of comics in the basement – potentially valuable collections that unfortunately didn't survive the years. Whether you're into superheroes or just the Sunday funnies, this holiday says it's time to embrace your comic book fandom in broad daylight.

Bow Tie Bonanza

But the real star of the show was National Bowtie Day, which explained Jerry's dapper neckwear choice. Two bow tie-themed quiz questions stumped the morning crew:

Question 1: Which Simon and Garfunkel song features the lyric "be careful, his bow tie is really a camera"? Jerry's attempt at singing the clue didn't help much with audience guessing!

Question 2: What's Pee Wee Herman's real name? This one had everyone shouting their answers, complete with Pee Wee's Playhouse theme music courtesy of Cyndi Lauper playing in the background.

The quiz results? Let's just say some '80s knowledge runs deeper than others in the Coachella Valley!
