Eclipsed
What's the deal with sun ecplises? You can't look directly at it. Well, when I was a kid I remember looking straight into an uneclipsed sun many times just so I could close my eyes and see all the cool, multicolored spots on the inside of my eyelids. But I ate a lot of carrots too so I think that may have offset any eye damage. Anyway, if people have looked into the full, unobstructed sun why all the clamor over looking at it when it's mostly covered up?
I remember the sun eclipse being a big deal when I was in like sixth grade. Now it seems people don't take enough notice. There should be a marketing campaign including tour packages and ticket scalping for prime viewing areas (which is probably any area other than under a tree) to bring back the mystique and suspense surrounding the sun eclipse. I mean, it's the closest thing we have to an alien landing.
So close your eyes, hide the children, and run for the hills. Wait a second, don't run for the hills you can see it better from there. Try to find caves in those hills where you can ride it out. The sun eclipse is coming. (Insert Vincent Price's voice here) Moo hahahahahahahah.....
Also, it would be fun to have the plural of the word eclipse be eclipseseseseseseseses...

Eclipses were a big deal for me too when I was a kid...now....I don't even release they're happening. Life goes by too fast to even look up sometimes :)
I totally agree that there should be more press for the eclipses!
I keep watch on day-to-day astrological phenomena with an ephemeris. Not to worry though - even if you can't see them, or are blissfully unaware of their passing, you'll still feel the effects. :)
Here's a good ephemeris, if you're ever interested:
Raphael's Astronomical Ephemeris of the Planet's Places for 2006 (Raphael's Astronomical Ephemeris of the Planet's Places) (Paperback)
by Edwin Raphael
I wonder if you get the same effect with a piece of Eclipse gum!
