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
No mention of "The aliens think Loyalty Day is stupid" or "The aliens are afraid of psychic parrots."
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

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.

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!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

According to google, which is always right, as you know:
American Chocolate Week--March 14-20 National Chocolate Day--October 28 National Chocolate Day--December 28 National Chocolate Day--December 29 National Milk Chocolate Day--July 28 National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day--November 7 National Chocolate Mint Day--February 19 National Chocolate Chip Day--May 15 National Chocolate Eclair Day--June 22 National Chocolate Covered Anything Day--December 16 National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day--March 24 National Chocolate Custard Month--May 1-31 National Chocolate Pudding Day--June 26 National Chocolate Ice Cream Day--June 7 National Chocolate Milkshake Day--September 12
Every day is, in fact, national chocolate day.
