Goofing Off With Water and the Bard

Amy's clearly enjoying herself on International Goof-off Day, although I'm not sure that her niece's wedding is the most appropriate setting. Then again, considering her niece is marrying a complete goof, maybe she's got the right idea after all.

If you decide to goof off today, please also remember to stay hydrated because it's World Water Day! Or you could goof off by spraying people with water pistols. Maybe Sandi will amuse us all by pretending to drown in two feet of water...wait, she was serious? Never mind.

Zounds! Thou shalt also speaketh in the Elizabethan fashion, for it be Talk Like William Shakespeare Day! Kevin and Brittany, if we're lucky, will skip the Romeo and Juliet scene.

Fanfic Update!

• Flaw of Attraction, by wilddogjj (parts 1 and 2): "Jamie, Chuck, Jim, Kevin and Chris were sitting on the porch drinking beer and engaging in lighthearted conversation." (Part 2)


• Homecoming, by davidfalkayn (part 16): "'I can’t believe Daria said that.' Jim whispered to the blonde girl standing next to him. 'It sounded like she was wishing for Elizaveta to die.'"


• Spider Quinn 07: Ashes to Ashes, by cfardellbrenorenz29 (part 6): "Quinn was doing her homework in the loungeroom when she heard the doorbell. She went and opened it. She saw Stacy, Tiffany and Tori."

Nyah!

While I admire Amy's devotion to National Goof Off Day, I question her decision to celebrate right in the middle of her niece's wedding. Still, I guess I can think of worse places to goof off. Carry on, Amy!

Today is also World Water Day, so stay plenty hydrated while you goof off. But maybe don't go on any school-sponsored cruises. That's a little too hydrated!

Fanfic Update!

• One Sappy Family (The Carbones), by WildDogJJ (COMPLETE!): "A now 38 year old Quinn is removing cupcakes from the oven while a tripod mounted camera records." (Part 2)


• Sick, Sad Truth (Linn's short stories), by Linnofthewoods (COMPLETE!): "'Could a night of dancing at your favorite club cause you to become hypnotized and enslaved by aliens disguised as disc jockeys? Subliminal Vinyl, tonight on "Sick, Sad World!"'" (Part 2)


• Winter Is Coming, by Meester_Lee (part 27): "It was Jake who started making the calls. He first called his Mom in Coalton, breaking the news to her about his older brother’s condition and telling her that Ben had decided to move from the Cedars of Lawndale to hospice care."

Amy, Stop or Your Face Will Stick Like That!

Amy's got the right idea for National Goof Off Day, although I'm not sure if her niece's wedding is really the best place for it. I suppose if the mood strikes, you just have to make a silly face.

Today is also World Water Day, but I don't recommend going on any school fundraising casino boats in celebration. You might end up much closer to the water than you'd like.

Water, Water, Everywhere, But I Goof Off and I Don't Care

Once again it is the World Day for Water, a.k.a. World Water Day, and we have young Daria and Beavis at the Highland High pool to show how World Water Day is done (wetly). The scene is from the Beavis and Butt-head episode "Water Safety."

It is also International Goof Off Day, however you wish to celebrate that. Daria likes to look at the world upside down, but your mileage may vary.
