quicko: cracker day

AKA Commonwealth Day. A traditional holiday, gone a bit by the wayside of late. A 4th of July-esque celebration that no longer achieve public holiday status, but which used to see treacherously high amounts of sparks in the hands of small children, creatively called "crackers" to disguise the danger.
