Don't Forget to Wash Your Hands!

Daria's going to spend a bit of quality time with her friend the Talking Toilet in honor of World Toilet Day, but hopefully she'll let someone else have a turn if they need it. Jake might also be spending some quality time with the toilet, but only because he still can't remember to check for toilet paper before he gets started.

I'm sure he'll be out in time to celebrate International Men's Day, though, but don't tell Ms. Barch about it. Please do tell any smartasses who like to complain about International Women's Day by claiming they don't get their own holiday, however. It probably won't shut them up, but it's worth a shot.

Once both Daria and Jake are out of the bathroom, they can play a friendly board game for Play Monopoly Day! We all know how it'll end, though: Jake will start losing badly and begin bargaining away punishments in order to save his skin. Go get him, Daria!

Fanfic Update!

• Crappy Thanksgiving, by wilddogjj (COMPLETE!): "Freezing rain continues to fall over Philadelphia International Airport. Inside the central terminal Kevin is using a fake ID to get into the American Airlines Admirals Club." (Part 3)

What a Potty Mouth!

Daria's getting up close and personal with her friend Talking Toilet for World Toilet Day. I'm not sure it'll be much of a conversation, though. Daria's not much of a talker and I suspect I wouldn't like to hear the things a toilet has to say.

If toilets aren't your thing, today is also Ms. Barch's least-favorite holiday, International Men's Day. So enjoy your day, approximately fifty percent of the world's population!

I Hope Jake Remembered to Check the Toilet Paper Before He Sat Down!

Daria's spending some quality time with Talking Toilet for World Toilet Day, but don't forget this dire warning: "What deadly new diseases can you pick up by sitting down? Toilet seat terror next, on Sick, Sad World!"

Today is also Ms. Barch's least favorite holiday ever, International Men's Day. That's probably appropriate for her, though, because it's also Have a Bad Day Day.

Lousy MEN!

Today is International Men's Day, which is probably Ms. Barch's least favorite holiday of all time. I'm not sure how the day should be celebrated, but I suspect it may involve beer.

At Least He Wasn't Named After Marmaduke

James A. Garfield, who overcame the handicap of being named after a fat orange comic-strip cat to become President of the U.S.A. in the late 1800s, was born a long time ago today in the early 1800s. We mention him here only because the Sick, Sad Life Planner had a comment from Jane Lane about President Garfield, and we are proud to bring you Jane's comment in its entirety. Quinn Morgendorffer, on the other hand, prefers to offer her thoughts about Calvin Klein, who was also born on this day but not such a long time ago.

Oh, and the Gettysburg Address is now 146 years old.

And even more importantly, this is Daria Morgendorffer's birthday according to some mythologies. Let's see, if she was 19 in 1999, she's 29 today. Party on!

Aaaaand this is International Men's Day. Who thought that up? Heck, every day is International Men's Day! I mean, seriously.
