This is the traditional day celebrating moJoe the Cruel in all of his noding glory.

moJoe Day traditionaly celebrated on January 22nd, which is widely accepted as the day he began noding. Members of the fanatical "Sons of moJoe" militia cult however, insist on celebrating it on his Birthday, which is April 27th.

The festivities are usually kicked off by all of the little children awaking at an ungodly 3 in the morning to see if moJoe had come and fufilled the prophecy of story and song.

According to the Legend of moJoe the Cruel, if you are a good little girl or boy, moJoe will come on moJoe day, kick down the front door, accept the sacrificial 20-spot tucked carefully under your pillow and kill your parents for you.

This done -- and providing that moJoe has not fufilled the pact of ages, killed the 'rent-beasts and set the children free in Valhala, flaking out yet again (per usual) -- the disappointed children gather in the kitchen and await a traditional moJoe day breakfast of Beer and Wheaties.

After breakfast (and after any subsequential vomiting is taken care of), everyone gathers in the town square to vote on a sacrifice to moJoe. Everyone, by secret ballot, participates in electing someone for good old-fashioned Darwinian gene-pool cleansing. The elected, often called "The target" for the rest of his short life, is then led out before his peers and pelted to death with empty beer bottles (left over from breakfast (moJoe was a strong proponent of recycling)) by his drunken townsmen.

After a short tickertape parade and speech by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and providing that moJoe hasn't liberated them, the children are led off to participate in something resembling an easter-egg hunt only it is full-contact and involves running with scissors. The adults, meanwhile, gather together for the traditional free-for-all nude JELL-O wrestling and egg-toss; after which everyone stumbles home in the dark with one or more complete strangers for a night of licentious debauchery.
