| OCCASION | |
|---|---|
| TEXT | EXPLANATION |
| January 1st - New Year's | |
| Happy new year [yyyy]! | [yyyy] is replaced with the current year. For example, on January 1st, 2025, this splash will read "Happy new year 2025!" |
| February 16th - Website creation date | |
| Of course, it needs to be full of references to my online presence that nearly nobody will get!! | |

| 50 adjectives! | The full title of the site is "44Nifty's Awesome Website Of Awesomeness, Coolness, Tubularity, Insanity, and 50 other useless adjectives!". This is a reference to the "50 other useless adjectives" part. |
