A description of my blog. http://www.my-site.com 3768264064178464085 It's Inappropriate Card Day Eve! 2008/02/#3768264064178464085 2008-02-25 Tomorrow is Inappropriate Card Day! I know, it really sneaks up on you, doesn't it? In case you're somehow unaware of this phenomenon that is now so popular that even when I search my own website for "Inappropriate Card," Google suggests that maybe did I mean "Inappropriate care"? I mean, come on. "Inappropriate care"? Who is searching for that? What does that even mean? "Sorry, Bill. I killed your ficus while you were on vacation. I think I may have given it inappropriate care."

Whatever. Anyway, in case you're somehow unaware of this phenomenon that is sweeping the nation like baby fish mouth*, here's the deal:

February 26 is Inappropriate Card Day. You celebrate ICD by -- surprise! -- exchanging inappropriate cards. There are no rules. Well, except for the fact that the card has to be completely inappropriate -- and not risque inappropriate; that's too easy. It has to be a card that would be perfectly appropriate for someone other than the recipient, preferably on a completely different day. For example, I just got a card in the mail from Crummy Joel which reads, in part:
Jewish life today
has its own flavor,
though it's been spooned
from the same kettle for generations.
It's inappropriate, you see, because Joel is a Nazi! No, not really, but neither one of us is Jewish, so it's suitably inappropriate.

Celebrate ICD tomorrow with someone you tolerate. If you're interested in the rich history of this non-Jewish holiday**, go here.

In other news, the second issue of the Clay Pigeon humor magazine takes flight today! Whether you're looking for news on the upcoming Build-a-Bear Apocalypse or a stirring speech in favor of numerical equality, we've got it.

The Clay Pigeon

Bookmark the Clay Pigeon today!

Um, yeah, so you're still here. Unfortunately, that's all I've got for you today. I didn't bother to write a real post because I figured with the ICD excitement and the Pigeon, I wouldn't need a post for today.

Listen to me, apologizing for not having a post! You know what I think? I think I've spoiled you people, making you expect a brilliant new post every Monday. Look, sometimes it's just not going to happen, okay? And anyway, I worked hard on the Clay Pigeon. Go read it. There's some really good stuff in it. And after that, go pick up some inappropriate cards while you're thinking of a caption for the caption contest.

Then go outside and play. I can't script every second of your life for you.

Oh, and be sure to come back tomorrow to vote for the best caption.


*I made a When Harry Met Sally reference! What is up with that?!
**But there's no reason Jews can't celebrate it, except for the ever-present threat of having their unique cultural identity obliterated by adopting Western customs.


Humor-blogs.com wishes you a happy Rosh Hashanah.
