Although Youngman's jest suggests that the list of holidays for a non-believer would necessarily be the "empty set", many non-believers honor various holidays and "holy" days, and those of one faith often honor holidays of other faiths. According to Ryan Gee's message board, he is currently engaged to Missy Rothstein. Referring to the original meaning of the term, Henny Youngman included this joke among his vast catalog of one-liners:. The video clip was immediately (and continues to be) widely circulated on the Internet. Christopher Columbus, who has arrived in the New World just moments earlier, tells a Native American that he wants to cash a check... The first 5,000 DVD copies of CKY4 contained a hidden Easter Egg - a two-minute video clip of Bam and his then-girlfriend, Jenn Rivell, having sex. One example of this fact is revealed by the assumption inherent in this bit of dialogue from the 1961 musical-comedy album, Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America, Volume One. Since the end of filming on Viva La Bam, Bam has replaced the red H2 with a blue H2.

Some holidays that were once widely celebrated are less so today, for various reasons. Bam bragged that his was the only vehicle of its kind with a sunroof. Some are designed to promote a cause, others recognize historical events not recognized officially, and others are "funny" holidays are generally intended as humorous distractions and excuses to share laughs among friends. The Lamborghini has been modified with help from friend Billy Idol to include a sunroof (a rough rectangle crudely cut with a jigsaw). These are holidays celebrated by various groups and individuals. A recent episode however showed the destruction of the H2 by Don Vito as revenge for constant torment. Other secular holidays not observed internationally:. Current episodes of Margera's show have shown him to own both a red 2003 Hummer H2 as well as a purple Lamborghini Gallardo and a Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG with a heartagram on the front instead of the mercedes-benz logo.

Many other days are marked to celebrate events or people, but are not strictly holidays as time off work is rarely given.

With the winter holidays, come various different greetings appropriate for each holiday or the entire season. Margera is currently writing, producing, and directing his new feature film, a sequel to Haggard, titled Kiss a Good Man's Ass. In some Christian countries, the end of the festive season is considered to be after the feast of Epiphany, although this has only symbolic value. Bam has even had himself tattooed with the heartagram.

Usually, this festive period begins near the end of November and ends with New Year's Day on January 1, reflecting traditional pagan celebrations of the period around the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. A fan of, friend of, and occasional video director for HIM's frontman, Ville Valo, Margera has licensed the band's logo, the heartagram (a pentagram with two points curved to incorporate a heart symbol), for personal use. Except in North America, the phrases "holiday season" and "holiday period" usually mean the summer months when most people take their annual holiday ("vacation" in North American English), and phrases such as the "festive period" are used to describe the period around Christmas and New Year. A 2006 sequel entitled Return to Sleepaway Camp will feature the CKY band members in cameo roles as camp counselors.

When he was younger he would run into walls and be crazy, and his grandfather would say "Bam, bam, bam, chill out! Bam!" The name stuck, and soon everyone was calling him Bam, even his teachers.

In the order of the Wheel of the Year:. Bam got his name from his grandfather. Well-known consecutive holidays include:. In fact, he is featured as a main character in Tony Hawk's Underground (1 and 2). In late 1990s, the Japanese government passed a law that increased the likelihood of consecutive holidays by moving holidays from fixed days to a relative position in a month, such as the second Monday. He has also been animated as a character into a number of pro-skateboarder Tony Hawk's video games. They tend to be considered a good chance to take short trips. In the DVD comentary for the seasons 4&5 of Viva La Bam, Margera has said that Element Skateboards pays him two million dollars a year, just for wearing their clothing.

Consecutive holidays are a string of holidays taken together without working days in between. (The real LAPD SWAT team helped with this prank). "Legal holiday" is not a term used outside the United States. Ashton Kutcher trapped Margera and his friend inside of a convenience store while staging a terrorist attack. "Public Holiday" is the term used in Australia and "Bank Holiday" in the UK, although some industries in the UK work through Bank Holidays. Margera also appeared on Punk'd, in 2005.

Margera was born and raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania, a western suburb of Philadelphia. However, some Canadians (especially those of English or Irish decent) will use both the terms vacation and holiday interchangeably when referring to a trip away from home or time off work. Margera's television antics push the generally accepted boundaries of good taste by seeking to shock and offend, thereby creating a large contingent of detractors who charge that he profits from the humiliation and misfortune of others. "I'm going on holiday to Malta next week"), the North American equivalent being "vacation". His videos and television shows often include his long-suffering parents, Phil and April, his uncle Vincent Margera ("Don Vito"), and ex-fiancée Jenn Rivell (Margera broke off his engagement to Rivell in early 2005).
