Aye!
Also kicking off a Burbs viewing here with only 10 minute left in second Saturday.
Already drank a few hundred beers.
Cigars pending, just gotta finish up this game of jeopardy.

Sounds like a successful Burbs Day to me!
I mowed my lawn for the eight-hundredth time!!! I didn't snap, though.
And of course I watched the Burbs.

Re: Burbs Day 2016!
What is Burbs day? How was the date decided? I remember people talking about it on the IMDB forums too. It wasn't uncommon for people to eat pretzels and sardines on Burbs day.

Re: Burbs Day 2016!
How did the idea Burbs Day come about? How was it decided to celebrate on the second Saturday of July?

Re: Burbs Day 2016!
Well since I was involved in this, I can answer: This goes back a couple of years ago and has its roots in the imdb message board.
As far as I remember there was a Burbs Day before and I'm not quite sure where the day itself comes from (I assume it comes from the old John Osborne message board which once existed prior to this one here). However, Burbs Day seemed to have no regular date.
So one day on the imdb board we decided to celebrate it on a regular basis. We decided for July since...well it's warm and it's summer and we assumed the movie might play during this month. Originally we wanted to make a simple rule: Every FIRST saturday in July. However, since some members on the board said they were on vacation that day or for some other reason not available, we decided to choose the second saturday of July on which everybody seemed to have time. And ever since then (must have been around 2004 or 2005) it has never been changed
