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.
