Holy crap! I can't believe there are other people who celebrate Jimmy Shaker Day! I usually observe this most glorious of holidays on November 8th, since that's the day the film was released. Several of my friends (we're all in college) get together, drink, eat trashy food (not originally due to the "human garbage" quote, but that is a GREAT reason) and "Rocky Horror-ize" the movie with audience participation lines. It's actually been known to be a bigger event in our house than Thanksgiving.
You know, I think this holiday needs some carols. It could easily be as fun as Christmas.
Imagine, you go to the mall to take the kids to see Jimmy Shaker. Instead of asking if they've been good all year, he of course asks if they're known scumbags in this precinct. Then on Jimmy Shaker day itself, you can spend the evening sitting around the fireplace, recounting tales of the Morlocks and the Eloi, feasting upon cough medicine and Frankenberry cereal. Suddenly, the group spontaneously breaks into "Jimmy Shaker's Coming to Town" follwed by a stirring rendition of "Away with a Stranger" (lyrics reproduced below) and "Pay Yourself a Merry Little Ransom". The evening then culminates with Jimmy Shaker himself coming down the chimney to take the children and to leave gifts of ransom videos and crippling fear.
Come on, everyone, to the tune of "Away in a Manger":
Away with a stranger
Handcuffed to a bed
The frightened Sean Mullen
Lifts his duct-taped head
The stars of the movie
Were then forced to pay
But warned to beware of
Jimmy Shaker Day!

That absolutely had me in stitches! I haven't laughed that hard in a while!
I'm gonna celebrate Jimmy Shaker day on September 17th aswell
A BBQ, some beers and a viewing of this film sounds like good fun, I'll try to use lines from the film in as many scenarios that day as I can, especially the lying ass dog line, I have to use that from now on.
