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 think they should put Darth Vader on the penny....
Slap my hand now!

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

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.

Does this mean Lori might get a money shoutout? Or does she have to move to Canada first?

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."

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.
P.S.: for people that's uses it, which I think consists of Jessica, Bloglines seems to be effed up where it's not showing the feeds but it's helpfully marking them as read anyway.

It was replaced in the US by Broccoli Day, after rumors of Wonka's Communism surfaced....
