Did Lincoln Enjoy Nachos?

Looks like George Washington is giving Abraham Lincoln a high five to celebrate the anniversary of Lincoln's election to the presidency on this day in 1860. Of course, since the two are actually personifications of a single holiday, perhaps I should say that President's Day is giving itself a high five? Man, holidays are confusing.

Today is also National Nacho Day, something that certain former associates of Daria Morgendorffer will find interesting. Of course, I'm not going to name any names here. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

• Unnamed story (Scenes No Daria fanfic should have: The Closing Walls of Schloss Morgendorffer and Casa Lane), by Lady Evil (COMPLETE!): "Elsie watched the angry mob forming outside Stately Sloane Manor. Well, with the way they tore down the gates, it wasn't going to be stately for long."

This Is "Nacho" Usual Holiday

It's Beavis and Butt-head's favorite holiday, National Nachos Day! Daria's probably telling them to celebrate someplace else, or she might be trying to explain to them that it's traditional to celebrate by obtaining and eating nachos. Either way, I'm guessing it's a lost cause.

Mmmm...Nachos

Daria is suggesting that Beavis and Butt-head go get some snacks because today is National Nachos Day. Of course, any excuse to get rid of those two is a good one as far as she's concerned.

Fanfic Update!

• And For My Next Trick and Problem Solving (LongSnakeMoan's Fluff Thread), by LongSnakeMoan (COMPLETE!): "She didn't know why she had agreed to help Upchuck out and be his assistant at his magic show when she just knew she was going to fail miserably at it. He'd convinced her that she was the perfect person for the job and for a second she'd believed him."


• Black Cloaks of Lawndale, by Waylander (part 13): "Helen Morgendorffer was looking through the pages of notebook paper spread out on the coffee table and making notes on the legal pad. She knew that winning the case brings her one step close to the partnership, and usually she needed no better incentive. But today her heart just wasn't in it."


• Death Comes to Another Lawndale, by PrecambrianStudios (part 7): "Tom's eyes widened. He looked across the street and saw Cassidy Hemming waving to him. She started to cross the road. 'Oh no.'"

• A New Direction, by peetz5050 (part 16): "Family Dinner weekend after next will have to be on Sunday as that Country Club benefit is on Saturday. She'd have to fill the table or it would look bad, how many was it again? Eight or ten seats?"


• Northbank Diaries #1: A Tale Of Three Suburbs, by ognawk (part 3): "People say he's just being nosey, but why is he taking such an interest in us? A 20-year old and a teenager, rail thin and living alone for months? I don't like this. I don't think he will either."


• Something (Slightly) Wicked Ch3, by macross (part 1): "As the music began to play the satin covers were thrown back as a young woman rose from the bed stretching her arms and giving an impressive yawn."


• Sonoma Coma, by jtranser (part 12): "Daria walked into the bathroom, then suddenly stopped when she saw her friend drying off while standing in a pile of red oozing shredded duckies, owls and submarines. 'Ah, Jane, another bathtub slaughter, I see.."


• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Trapped), by ashk09 (COMPLETE!): "Daria awoke to find herself lying in a field of verdant azure; in whichever direction she chose to cast her groggy eyes, it seemed that this entire world was made up of lush blue-green grass, platforms with strange markings emblazoned on them - they looked to be hieroglyphics of some sort, but she didn't recognise either the language, nor the strange anthropomorphic animals they depicted - and ... was that some kind of mechanical wasp patrolling the baby-blue skies above her?"


• When Love Takes Another Path (IC: Early Meeting), by ST91 (part 2): "'And that's great, isn't it, Daria?' Tom asked his sister. 'Yeah great,' Daria said, in a half-hearted tone. 'What's up sweetie? Is something wrong?' said Helen. 'It's what dad ... I mean Angier said.' stated Tom. No one knew his sister better than him."


• When the Bough Breaks, by Kristen Bealer (part 1): "Jodie let herself fall back onto the hospital bed, catching her breath and waiting. For awhile--for too long--no one said anything. Then, finally...a small thin wail filled the silence."

Let's Celebrate National Nachos Day!

Various Internet sources inform us that today is National Nachos Day. It is a fact that Daria is not known in canon to eat nachos, though her very close and special friends Beavis and Butt-head ate them constantly. Above is their recipe for Nuclear Nachos from one of their books. (Click on the image to enlarge it.) These guys sure know how to have a good time.

I just received news that two long-time webrings, the Daria Webring and the Other Daria Webring, have been merged into one. If you have a Daria site and would like to join, please do.

National Nachos Day!

No kidding, this is really (according to some mythologies) National Nachos Day. In honor of this event, Daria's very special friends Beavis and Butt-head offer their recipe for secret Nuclear Nachos. (Click on the image to enlarge it.) Make some for your family!

More shortly. Have some nachos while you wait. Latest entry on DariaWiki: Secret History (needs more non-TAG story examples).
