The Moonwalking Lawyer

Helen is showing off some sweet dance moves in honor of the late Michael Jackson, who was born on this day in 1958. For another Daria/Prince of Pop crossover, see Elryd's alter ego Michael Jackson Mackenzie.

Kevin would far rather celebrate National Sports Day, and while I'm sure he'd enjoy any activity that involves athletics we all know his first (and perhaps only) love is football. Great big guys running into other great big guys? What's not to like?

Daria, on the other hand, might enjoy celebrating International Bat Night, given her dream of one day sleeping upside-down and spreading rabies. Unless the COVID pandemic soured her on the whole idea.

But Can They Dance on the Head of a Pin?

I don't think Daria and Jane are fooling anyone with their angel act, even if today is Be an Angel Day. At least Jake doesn't have to worry about his daughters going up to join that heavenly choir.

For winged creatures without all of the theological baggage, it's also National Tooth Fairy Day! Metal Mouth might make a good profit if he leaves his (many) lost teeth under his pillow tonight.

Daria will be pleased (or as pleased as she ever is) to know that today is the anniversary of Dorothy Parker's birth in 1893. The snarky late author would have been just Daria's speed, and I would not be surprised at all to find she was a fan.

She Hasn't Lost Her Bouncity-Bounce!

I think someone needs to explain to Brittany that, while today is the 99th anniversary of the birth of "Captain Kangaroo" actor Bob Keeshan on this day in 1927, he wasn't an actual kangaroo. On second thought, someone should wait to explain it to her until after she puts away the boxing gloves. That girl can pack a mean punch.

Meanwhile, perhaps Trent will celebrate the Great American Backyard Campout by setting up his tent again. I doubt it, though--he didn't seem to have very fond memories of that era of his life.

Both Jane and Trent should remember to bring appropriate eyewear for Sunglasses Day, especially if they plan on attending any Lane family reunions. Of course, it's highly unlikely that either of them will be willing to attend any such family reunions, especially if Aunt Bernice will be there as well.

The Vitruvian Overachiever

Jodie is either demonstrating one of Leonardo da Vinci's well-known works in honor of the anniversary of his birth on this day in 1452, or she is just stretched physically as well as mentally these days. The good news is that, with double the limbs, Jodie will be able to juggle far more activities than she used to!

Jane would probably rather follow da Vinci's lead in painting, especially because it's World Art Day. I hope she'll stick to originals, though, rather than trying to copy the Mona Lisa. Copying doesn't suit Jane well at all.

It's possible that Mr. O'Neill and Ms. Barch will use the opportunity of Titanic Remembrance Day to recreate one of the famous movie scenes. With any luck, someone will push them both into the water.

Nobunny Expected to See This

Upchuck is celebrating the anniversary of the late Hugh Hefner's birth on this day one hundred years ago in a scene that could only come from his wildest dreams and the Fashion Club's worst nightmares. Unless this is just moments before the girls, having lulled him into a false sense of security, kill him and hide the body where no one will find it.

If they do follow through with this plot, they may need to take Jake's advice for Name Yourself Day: "Walk away. You change your name, move to another state, get some ID." Sorry, everybody who's also planning on observing this one; I already have dibs on "Esmerelda."

Finally, be sure to appreciate any ancient sandwiches you may sit on because it's National Cherish an Antique Day! You could also visit a flea market and see if you find any treasures like California Raisins posable erasers or Annette Funicello albums.

Fanfic Update!

• Spider Quinn 21 A View of Oakwood and Ruins, by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (part 2): "'You want to see someone?' An orderly asked. 'Yes, a professor who was in the forest,' Quinn answered."

Is It Possible to Erase an Entire Pencil?

Upchuck seems happy enough about National Pencil Day, but just wait until someone gets tired of his innuendo and sticks him in the pencil sharpener. If Daria should find herself in need of a pencil today, she should be wary of who she borrows from...the last thing she needs is for Kevin to get another wrong impression about her.

Jane and Ted, meanwhile, will be pleased to know that today is the anniversary of the births of both Vincent van Gogh in 1853 and Francisco de Goya (of whom Ted is a fan) in 1746. Jane can even do another topsy-turvy Starry Night if she isn't too traumatized by her copying days.

Daria would likely prefer to stick with words over pictures, and seeing as today is the anniversary of Anna Sewell's birth in 1820, she could celebrate by re-reading Black Beauty. It was one of her childhood favorites, although it might bring back some unpleasant memories. Hopefully she still has that refrigerator box.

Lady Looks Like a Dude

Sandi is doing a pretty good impression of Steven Tyler for the anniversary of the singer's birth on this day in 1948. The resemblance is uncanny, if only because they both have big mouths. I assume Steven Tyler is at least a little nicer, though. He's undoubtedly more popular, anyway.

Her hair still looks pretty nice, which is good because it's also Good Hair Day. Let's hope everyone out there in fandom has hair with the right amount of bouncity-bounce!

On this day in 2001, the episode "Lucky Strike" first aired. Quinn finally admitted Daria was her sister, Mr. DeMartino found a spine when dealing with Ms. Li, and Daria got Tom's hopes up by suggesting she might wear a fur bikini.

Maybe He Could Have Someone Cut Him in Half?

Upchuck seems ready to recreate one of Harry Houdini's stunts in honor of the anniversary of the illusionist's birth on this day in 1874. However, it won't be quite the same because when Houdini reappeared after disappearing, audiences were happy. Upchuck? Not so much.

Jake, meanwhile, will be happy to know that it's National Cocktail Day and he can feel free to indulge in a martini if he wants. I don't think he should have any sake, though...it might bring back bad memories of Tokyo Toby's.

Today is a double anniversary for the episodes "Cafe Disaffecto" in 1997 and "The Lost Girls" in 1999. Daria's writing skills excelled in both; in the first she managed to start an anti-Communist riot while in the second she was "rewarded" for her essay skills with a visit from Val. As in Val. It's a wonder she ever picked up a pen again.

She Still Looks Stone-Faced

Andrea looks (slightly) more stoic than usual, thanks to her impression of Abraham Lincoln on the anniversary of his birth on this day in 1809. Maybe Jodie can spend some time today telling Brittany the story of what happened to him and his wife...but very gently and using very small words.

Interestingly, scientist Charles Darwin was born on the very same day, in the same year. I'm sure Kevin will be pleased to know that "the monkey guy" is being celebrated today, thanks to his love of monkeys, although he might be disturbed to find that Darwin was not, in fact, the man in the yellow hat.

I would strongly recommend that you only observe Hug Day with willing participants. Hugging someone like Daria without permission could lead to a lawsuit or, at the very least, stomped toes.

Will the Angel See Her Shadow?

Quinn's hair is even bouncier than usual as she emulates the late Farrah Fawcett, who was born on this day in 1947. Fawcett was of course well-known as one of the stars of the television show Charlie's Angels, parodied on the Daria episode "Murder, She Snored."

Although their hair is less fashionable, marmots are still pretty cute and deserve to be celebrated on Groundhog Day, especially as their weather-predicting skills are apparently quite good. There aren't a lot of Groundhog Day Daria fanfics, but you can check out Observational Skills by Brother Grimace and, for a crossover with the movie, Two Wrongs Make A Right by magnuskrauss.

Daria, P.I.

Daria's chosen a more tropical look in honor of Magnum, P.I. star Tom Selleck, who was born on this day in 1945. It's kind of a fun look for her, but I would imagine Quinn would have something to say about Daria wearing primary colors during daylight hours.

I think that Daria is likely going to change into something less colorful, though, because her personality is really better suited for Curmudgeons Day. Hey, you kids! Get off my durn locker!

Today being Freethinkers Day is also appropriate for Daria, who tended to challenge conventional wisdom. It's also appropriate for Kevin and Brittany, who tended to be free of thinking on a daily basis.

Trading in the Pantsuits for a New Look

Helen is taking business casual to quite an extreme in order to celebrate Charo's birthday. I can only imagine how Eric is going to react, but the real question is whether this will help or hurt her chances of making partner at the firm.

Just to be safe, she should probably accessorize appropriately for National Hat Day, even if she hates the way she looks in hats. Perhaps Quinn can loan her one of the hats she tends to keep on hand as a disguise in case of sibling humiliation-related emergencies.

Kevin, meanwhile, can celebrate one of his most beloved anniversaries: the first Super Bowl was played on this day in 1951. The best part is that the Green Bay Packers won, led by one of Kevin's heroes, Vince Lombardi (who did not go to hell).

• Mysteries of Aurora, by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (part 21): "'So, the Second Age is the Bronze Age,' Olivia said. 'This is when writing emerges in Aurora, although it is sporadic at first. Civilization also spread southwards through the island from the beginning of the period.'"


• Ow, What a Night!, by wilddogjj (part 1): "Angie Thompson, Kevin and Brittany's daughter, emerged from her room. A series of unfortunate events had recently forced her to move back in with her parents (job loss, boyfriend turning out to be a psycho killer, roommate murdered by said boyfriend)."

Bringing Home the Bacon

I don't think Jamie's going to enjoy his stint as a pig, especially because today is Bacon Day. According to Daria Day 1998, bacon was a common side dish for the Morgendorffers' dinner along with what looked like lasagna but was really "concentrated protein and starch nutrition squares."

I hope that Jake gets to play a few rounds of golf in honor of the anniversary of Tiger Woods's birth on this day in 1975. Jodie, on the other hand, would probably rather do anything else after having to put up with parent-mandated golf lessons.

Our young heroine liked to come to the area and look over the Atlantic Ocean even while it was really still too cold to do so."


• The Thud on the Stairs, by redpink (part 1): "The house is quiet except for the faint hum of the dryer downstairs. Sunlight filters through the living‑room windows, catching dust motes drifting lazily in the air."

Don't Hold an Opera Singer Too Tightly in Your Hands

If Daria wants to try out for a role in Giacomo Puccini's famous opera "Madama Butterfly," then she might want to check the source material more carefully. However, it's a nice gesture in honor of the late composer's birth on this day in 1858.

She would be much better suited to observing National Short Person Day, because at five foot two she definitely qualifies. Being the same height myself, I know I'll be celebrating! From down here. Possibly getting a stepladder if I need something off a high shelf.

Helen, meanwhile, should get out the bread machine to celebrate National Date Nut Bread Day! I don't think the holiday cares if the bread was hand-kneaded or how much soul it has.

• The Times, They Are Deranging, by Kristen Bealer (part 2): "Helen snuggled against Jake, breathing in the scent of stale sweat and patchouli."

Stacy in a Bottle

Stacy is either experiencing a mild wardrobe malfunction or she's honoring Christina Aguilera on the singer's 45th birthday. It's very likely that the Fashion Club would be fans of the pop star, although I doubt anyone could ever take the place in their hearts that belongs to Boys 'R' Guys.

Today is also the anniversary of the birth of Joseph Stalin in 1878, which is quite a switch from modern musicians. Then again, I have never heard the Man of Steel's singing voice, so maybe it isn't such a stretch after all. I'm sure Daria and Tom would love to take the opportunity to share more fun facts about him and the rest of their favorite dictators, as long as Jane doesn't have to listen to it.

Personally, I think I'll just celebrate Bake Cookies Day instead. That way I don't have to worry about pop music or authoritarians; just tasty treats.

• The Times, They Are Deranging, by Kristen Bealer (part 1): "Helen Barksdale shut the door of the dorm--her dorm!--behind her parents and let out a deep breath."


• When Worlds Collide, by SlytherinTeam (part 1): "'Nevermind, return to your world and I’ll return to mine,' Jane Lane had told Quinn Morgendorffer once in high school."

A Cynic in Possession of a Good Fortune

Daria and Quinn are engaging in a bit of cosplay in honor of Jane Austen's birth on this day in 1775. The sisterly bonding is probably good for them, but any moment now Quinn is going to realize that she's wearing fashions that are over 200 years out of date and panic.

As for me, I will happily celebrate National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, although I have to question what "anything" means. Rocks? Hubcaps? Gerbils? Just to be safe, I'll stick with things like peanut butter or, better yet, additional chocolate.

I hope Kevin knows that today is National Sports Day, although I can't imagine how today would differ from any other day for him. Not that he's likely to recognize any sport besides football, anyway.

Jesse's wishing a happy birthday to the late Bob Barker, born on this day in 1923. He'd also like to remind everyone to spay and neuter their pets, and wonders if "Come on down" would be a good replacement name for Mystik Spiral.

Kevin, meanwhile, will hopefully know better than to pester Mack about his summer job, even though it's National Ding-a-Ling Day. However, I suspect Mack was less bothered by the ringing bell than he was about the feral children flinging ice cream at him.

It's not quite Christmas yet, but X is insistent that we all celebrate Gingerbread House Day today. He really needs someone to make him one of those little cottages all made out of gingerbread.

They Are Also Minors Who Are Mining!

Joey, Jeffy, and Jamie are prepared to search the deepest depths of the Earth for a suitable gift for Quinn, thanks to today being National Miners Day. They'll want to clean up before they offer it to her, though, because the "Ewww!" that she'd emit upon seeing them in their current state could probably be heard halfway across the country.

Today is a sad music anniversary, as the tragic Altamont Free Concert took place on this day in 1969. Despite the concert being free, Jake managed to not only pay for tickets but also get a refund. God only knows how.

Happy birthday to deadpan comedian Steven Wright, born on this day in 1955. Although Daria's deadpan humor is brilliant, Steven Wright's influence can more clearly be seen in Luhrmann, seen only once (in "I Don't") and never again.

They paint a picture of a rather confident young lady who isn’t afraid to talk to people. What I saw when I watched last night’s interview was not that.'"

Being a Swiftie Before It Was Cool

Daria doesn't seem to be enjoying the anniversary of Jonathan Swift's birth on this day in 1667, even though reenacting a scene from Gulliver's Travels is a pretty clever idea. Maybe if she had a (very large) book then she wouldn't be so unhappy. The good news is that if Quinn gets on her nerves, relief is just a finger flick away!

I have to say that the tiny Lawndale people are doing a terrible job of celebrating National Personal Space Day. I think that under normal circumstances this would be one of Daria's favorite holidays, but under normal circumstances no one ties her up so she can't move. Or at least I assume that isn't something that happens to her often.

If 17th-century satirists aren't your thing, then you could skip ahead almost 200 years and celebrate the anniversary of Mark Twain's birth on this day in 1835. Similar sharp tongue and quick wit, but with somewhat different hairstyles. I know Daria's a fan of his thanks to her nightshirt, but I think Trent leans more towards Hanna-Barbera and Huckleberry Hound.

Let's wish a happy birthday to the sculptor Auguste Rodin, who was born on this day in 1840. This will be welcome news to Jane, who was known to dabble in sculpting herself, but also a good opportunity to check out Steve Taylor's jockey statue to see if it's a genuine Rodin or a forgery.

Today is also the anniversary of Grace Kelly's birth in 1929, which is notable to fandom in that Jane compared Quinn to the late actress/princess in "The Teachings of Don Jake": "Lemme get this straight. You, Jake, Helen, and Princess Grace are going camping? Like in the woods camping?"
