I came up with this puzzle but found few people who could solve it.

Today being a federal holiday, Anne and Mary are neighbors that both have the day off. They live in the United States. Being close-by neighbors with long-ago-established phone numbers, they have the same area code. It was Anne's birthday the month before last.
They run into each other outside.

Mary says to Anne, "Why don't you call me sometime? With a birthday like yours, it should be easy to remember my number." Although it then occurred to Mary, that she doesn't know the exact day of Anne's birthday.

Which holiday is today? (Answer is in a comment below.)

Defeated the campaign, watched end credits for Star Fox: Zero. Now I will admit this game has some redeeming qualities. But not a lot. The control scheme never agreed with me, there is just a lack of precision using the Wii U controller tilt and it's not optional.

They keep forgetting Star Fox is a rail shooter. Rail. Shooter. Why do they force you to use the Landmaster? Why are you forced to use the Walker so often? It's Star Fox not Ground Fox. Nobody in the history of time has ever asked for this. On the bright side, I guess, once you beat it it tells you how much your team got paid, which is sort of funny

Tech director: Now, we have it! Thirty-two lush, graphically intensive tracks, anti-gravity racing, four-player splitscreen with many more AI racers in the level too. We've optimized load times. Reduced draw distance and aliasing. It took years, but we stretched this platform to the limit to overcome significant technical challenges. Where else do we go from here?

Game designer: A horn.

Developer: A what?

Game designer: A horn. Like, on a car.

Tech director: What does it do?

Game designer: HONK

Tech director: ...

Project manager: ...

Game designer: Nothing basically

Although I played this game eons ago, I completed it for the first time today.

Playing this game to the end revealed it glitching out at times (can you spot it?):

From Software is making a Nintendo Switch game...

What a weird combination. What could it be?
