Dang, Loyalty Day has a piss poor publicist.
I'm sure I'd be able to remember it much better if we got a three-day weekend. Lousy non-federal-holiday official day...
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because "Americanism" in the 1930s meant "immigrant bashing," and everyone knows that Republicans don't engage in that sort of thing.
Of course not! Why, if that were the case, there'd be hundreds of thousands of outraged people marching in the streets.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Here I am, sitting in the middle of Downtown LA and I can't hear a peep from the protest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, Why we haven't met any aliens
A radical explanation for a conundrum about extra-terrestrial life, and what it means for the future of humanity

ION, Canada is issuing a coin celebrating... a robot arm. No, really. Not just any robot arm, but the Canadarm, a robot arm... in space!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Well, if the holiday was orginally created to oppose May Day (a Communist holiday) so maybe it was mainly "Americanism" as the opposite of "naughty communism.
Precisely. This country has never wanted to join the rest of the world in celebrating May 1 as International Workers Day. So they've renamed it as well as creating a different Labor Day celebration later in the year.

No mention of "The aliens think Loyalty Day is stupid" or "The aliens are afraid of psychic parrots."
Or of armed killer dolphins or marauding killer chimps.
But he does mention Serenity. So it's all good.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Reminds me of TAL. "The American Space Shuttle with its Canadian Arm."
