Milton Turns 400 on National Brownie Day

Yes, it's National Brownie Day, and poet John Milton is 400 today. Congratulations, and have a brownie.

Speaking of brownies, Daria shows us the marvels of snow globe collecting at left, and a Dariacon is still being planned in Hong Kong. Please save the brownies and snow globes by going to the Hong Kong Dariacon and partying with John Milton at the Paradise Lost Casino.

Alert superfan UU, whose name if you haven't noticed forms a palindrome, which is a kind of snow globe, I forgot what I was saying..... oh!

Alert superfan UU has discovered something in the debris of old Daria websites on the WayBack Machine, something that is way cooler than the Daria MUD I found. It is a chat room thinger in which the Fashion Club discusses, need we say it, fashion. This is the best. UU is hereby promoted to Sergeant at Arms for all Daria fandom for his discovery.

IMs from the FC

It will be difficult to top that one. Thank you!

I am sort of tired and not completely with it from sleepiness so I will stop here and think of something else to do, like maybe sleep. Keep on keepin' on, King Kongs, and remember that the palindrome you save might be Milton's, and if there's a reward you could be in for some big-time brownie points.

LAWNDALE ONLINE LIVES! It's back up, folks! Whew! Go here!

BONUS: Wouter's 2008 Christmas comic has been released! And now for the fanfic. Need to update the big list soon.
