FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE DAY
About for the Love of Mike Day
We have absolutely no idea why Wellcat created this holiday. However, there is a lost film, originally called Hell's Kitchen and later retitled For the Love of Mike from 1927. The film was directed by Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life) and featured Claudette Colbert in her film debut with Ben Lyon playing Mike. There is no copy known copy of the film left. It is a romantic drama involving gambling and trying to throw a rowing competition, plus a Three Men and a Baby scenario as Mike is raised by three single men.
The second reason for this day may tie to another Wellcat event, �For Pete�s Sake� Day later this month. In the 1880s, rather than profaning God�s name in moments of incredulity or exasperation, people would say either �For Pete�s Sake!� or �For the Love of Mike!�. It was one way to avoid the 4th Commandment, �Thou shall not take thy Lord�s Name in Vain.�
