The I Scream, You Scream Feast of St. Theophilus, February 6

 Reportedly a martyr, and mentioned in the legend of St. Dorothy (circa 300 A.D.).
 
 
 
Not to be confused with this guy:
 
Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter,
In sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.
If Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter,
Can thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb,
See that thou, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles,
Thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb.
