This Will Not End Well

Before Kevin goes any further with National Punch Day, someone should tell him that the holiday is about the beverage, not fighting. I don't point this out for Robert's sake, but for Kevin's. We already know that Robert is more than capable of taking Kevin in a fight, and the last thing anyone wants is to see Kevin get his jaw broken again. Well...some people might want to see that.

However, I think it would be a lot safer to just celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day with a slice at Pizza Prince. Daria and Jane are probably already there, contemplating the extra quart of grease added to the recipe.

If anyone wants to observe National Care For Kids Day, I'm sure the Gupty parents would be willing to offer a babysitting job. Who wants to spend an evening talking about dental hygiene and the evils of materialism?

Fanfic Update!

• Angie's Body, by wilddogjj (parts 1 and 2): "Quinn, Jim and the triplets were spending a day at the beach. They weren't the only Lawndale residents there." (Part 2)

A Tennis Game to Remember

Daria is recreating--if halfheartedly--the end of the famous "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs on this day forty-five years ago. Daria, you're going to have to up your game if you want to make Ms. Barch proud!

If that's not enough motivation, then perhaps we could promise to take her to Pizza Prince to celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day if she wins. Extra quart of grease and all.

IT'S NATIONAL CHEESE PIZZA DAY, HOORAY!

Yes, it is National Cheese Pizza Day, and as a Daria trufan you must go forth (put down the chocolate first, you know who you are) and consume mass quantities of cheese pizza. I hope to do this myself as a tribute to my role model: Jane Lane.

Okay, she's not really my role model, but she is cool. Daria did have an important thing to say about pizza, if you recall.

This is the 1,300th post to the Daria Fandom Blog II. I can't believe it. This is what happens when you have no life.

This interesting bit of news about Marvel Comics (soon an outlying province of Mickey's Empire) coming out with a comic book about a superhero fashion designer reminded me that even the Fashion Club needs a superhero, and Tim Gunn is obviously going to be that superhero. As Quinn someday will say....

Aren't these quotes great?

How odd: Wildgoose's Daria site was last updated almost exactly seven years ago. Talk about timing.

• Love Is a Series of Burning Sensations, by Undefinedlust (Part 12, teaser): Quinn nodded in relief then slowly began to speak again. "Look, I know you don't need the stress, but I have to warn you about something..."
• Reaped Out: Act 2—Sickle Sad World, by Pinkminx (Part 4): Helen eyed her youngest daughter. "Your father has arranged for us to meet with a psychologist that deals with families that have experienced loss... Quinn, why are you drinking coffee? Isn't it against the Fashion Club's bylaws?" Quinn sat and took a large mouthful. "It doesn't matter," she replied quietly as she reached for a copy of Waif.
