Is there a Chocolate Day? There totally should be.
It was replaced in the US by Broccoli Day, after rumors of Wonka's Communism surfaced....
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chocolate is a vegetable? That's a liberal interpretation.
But! Chocolate Day, and it's not yet past.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I haven't seen the Colbert speech yet, but even this tiny little excerpt, courtesy of Salon, is making me melty:
I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.
I so desperately need this t-shirt.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day--November 7
That's... oddly specific.
Bloglines seems to be effed up where it's not showing the feeds but it's helpfully marking them as read anyway.
Blech. Hope they fix that one soon.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
That's a lot of chocolate holidays. I think that means I should eat more chocolate.

Madame, what you said to her was "squid", not "good morning".
Hello, I've delurked in multiple threads!
I outed myself as a dork when I said to someone "Technically, no, it's not octopi. Octopodes is correct, octopuses is less wrong."
ita speaks the truth, and as the person who sports "octopi" in her profile (not that anybody would have noticed if I'd kept my mouth shut!), I have to say that some of us have embraced wrong, ugly or just plain insane spellings (and typos) from a misplaced sense of fun.
Speaking of which and btw, there's an eerie resemblance in usage here and among my Pancakes. Now, I know a couple of us used to lurk here before, but still I wonder if it's just these two groups or if it's web-wide. Craxy? Bunnies? A few more that escape me right now...
Happy May Day! Arise ye prisoners of want! The Internationale unites the human race!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Were the Pancakes born on Salon as well?

Yes, in a Big Brother TV thread. (I joined them later on WX.)

I thinks its the being internet "cousins" that makes us similar.

Does that mean we can't get married?
