Let's see what's on the Daria Calendar... today is All Souls Day, and it is Bean Day if you live in North Dakota. (Think about this kid in Holiday Island High. What's he best known for? Right.) It is the 66th birthday of 1988 presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, whose bumper sticker graces the refrigerator of the Morgendorffer home (per The Daria Database). And it is the 52nd anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 2, which put the first dog in space: Laika. Cute little thing.And it is National Sandwich Day, celebrated because the man for whom the sandwich was named—John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich—was born this day 291 years ago. An episode of 30 Rock was named for Sandwich Day, and a scene from that show provoked a hunt for the most famous sandwich in that episode. People are weird. The image at upper left is a peanut-butter sandwich drawn by the MTV staff, the same sandwich Jane peeled from Daria's butt in "Road Worrier" (upper left). Those crazy kids.

Bean Day? In North Dakota? You Betcha!
"You Betcha" is an Alaskan trademark.
Oh golly no. It's a trademark up there only when Sarah Palin says it, don't cha know. But, yah, could be worse. Ann Coulter coulda been saying it. Good deal,yah?
