"My career as a neck model is OVER!"

It's one of Quinn's least favorite holidays, World Pistachio Day! Although since technically it's the dye she's allergic to, she shouldn't blame the entire nut for her distress. The rest of you can munch the nutty nutty all day long if you want!

Today is also Tell a Fairy Tale Day, and the Gupty kids are waiting eagerly for a fresh tale of gore from Daria and Jane. Perhaps Quinn will gather them around a fire to tell them about Cinderella's clunky silver and gold sequins.

Finally, today is the anniversary of the episode "Sappy Anniversary," which aired on this day in 2001. Daria and Tom eating Quinn's chocolates might not count as a fairy tale, but they did live happily ever after. Oh, wait. They didn't.

The DFA winners are in! See the results linked here.
