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.

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.
