Opening Week /Triumphant Return Week
National Triumph Week was established in 1976, as a week long celebration of all the victories you, as an indvidual, have. Founded by Billy Carter, NTW has come a great ways from humble beginnings. The 1st national triumph week was held to honor of the Ford Pinto; a marvel at the time in gas tank car chassey placement. Since then the holiday has grown in popularity and scope. It became a hot bed of controversy in the late 90s when it was officially declared a pseudo-holiday in the April Editon of TIME magazine. TIME received over 740 thousand pieces of mail regarding the story. All but 13 of them praised and rejoiced about the Holiday. Those 13 troubled souls came together and demanded a retraction and apology. The "UnNTW-13", as they are so commonly called, was established in May 1998. This group of 13 people banded together to form a committee who mission it was to never let NTW be celebrated. In June 1998, suspiciously 12 of the 13 members dissappeared and later it was discovered in 1999 that the 13th became a warrior and fought many people in battle re-enactments in front of a motion picture camera. With all negative backlash surrounding this holiday disbanded, The Axis of Stevil knew exactly what to do, BRING ON THE TRIUMPH!
This week (April 3rd - April 9th) marks the new beginnings of this time-honored tradition. This week, The Axis of Stevil is asking you to celebrate all of your victories over life, triumphs over social dilemmas, acheivement in the face of dis-acheivement. Stand up tall and be proud for yourself, your country and your banana weigh station attendant, without him you would still be guessing how much banana is in a bunch of bananas. Get out there and show the world what you are made of.
