Column: By the way, itβs a play on the words βMEATβ and βMEETβ, and means βa day to go and meet meatβ.

β
The word for 2 in Japanese is βniβ (δΊ) and the word for 9 is βkuβ (δΉ) so together as 2/9 they make βnikuβ, the word for meat (θ). The sentence about going to meet meat is more wordplay in both Japanese and English, as it is written as βniku ni ai ni iku hiβ, with ni iku (γ«θ‘γ), βto goβ, being similar to niku as well.
The other answers are puns too. 11/29 is 1 1 2 9, i i ni ku, βgood meatβ (γγθ) and 3/10 is mii to, βmeatβ in English (γγΌγ).
So basically,
Happy Meat Day!
