6 Funny Quotes Celebrating Leap Day

Are you wearing blue and yellow today? Well, if you are, you might be celebrating Leap Day, or you might be a Golden State Warriors fan reveling in the craziness of Saturday night's wild victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder... or maybe you're doing both! Celebrate the once-every-four-years occasion with these funny Leap Day quotes. Fans of 30 Rock know that Leap Day is a special extra day for seizing the moment when, if you're caught not wearing the obligatory blue and yellow, you might get poked in the eye — sort of like a mashup of New Year's Day and Saint Patrick's Day. Sounds like fun, right?

I mean, honestly, what other day on the calendar will you see a Pringles-mustachioed candy-wielding two-legged merman in a barbershop quartet ensemble spreading sugar, good cheer, and festive chutzpah to kids and grownups alike? The jolly character I'm referring to is none other than Leap Day William, pictured above, a friendly mascot of the elusive Feb. 29. 30 Rock's Kenneth the page explains the magical lore of Leap Day William to Liz Lemon who, like myself just a few minutes ago, had never heard of the sea-dwelling candyman.

So, let's go ahead and seize this opportunity to laugh this Leap Day before it's too late!
