Yes, today marks the kick-off of a new holiday; one dedicated to manly pursuits pursued by manly men in manly places and in a manly manner.
The actual celebration takes place in a bar, and you're supposed to show up for Irish Coffee at 11AM and drink your way through the day until the 1AM closing the next day. In a small nod towards avoiding liver damage, the official rules state that "The 'Man Day' players can't buy any hard liquor until 9:00 pm but they can't turn down a shot if offered."
I doubt I'm manly enough (or bored enough) to spend all day in a bar, but some of the other rules appeal: "Cell phones are only allowed the last 5 min. of every hour." I like that one.

If that doesn't appeal, today is also national "Steal a Kiss" day. That one actually sounds more fun to me. 8-)
