I Missed This ?!@#$%^&*()!
Did you know that, last, Wednesday, September 24, was, National, Punctuation, Day. I. am, so. Deeply. saddened, and! disappointed, to “have” missed ‘ this amazing – and I do mean amazing (I really do) – day : when ; I could : celebrate ; the wondrous world of punctuation!
In a “belated tribute” to ; National Punctuation Day !, I recommend The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks – which is uber-hilarious, especially this post – and Apostrophe Abuse.
I blame: the fact: that I missed this “jolly holiday” not on the fact that,… why the hell would I know?! But because … ‘ my bizarre : holiday calendar !! only (informed) me that Sept 24 was the Festival of Latest Novelties. I hope everyone celebrated with their favorite Sarah Palin action figure:
Also, as today is September 30, it is your final day to celebrate National Chocolate Milkshake Month. Go out and splurge on a five dollar shake.
P.S. Apologies to everyone whose eyes hurt after reading this. I kind of felt like I was reading those pages when Charlie first learned about punctuation in Flowers for Algernon.

Oh my eyes hurt! But I’m still chuckling about the “circumcision” at the Turkish hotel. Thanks for those links.
And did you read Doonesbury last week? With the Sarah Palin doll? Really funny series. I’m so jealous that you have one! Don’t let the dogs get to it.
Have, a gr’eat! “day.”
Duuuuude! A blog makeover. Awesome.
One of the funny things about the quotation post you pointed out is the comment conversation debating whether the sign itself was neccessary!
The National Punctuation Day people wouldn’t be happy with me. I’m always like … and !!!!. And starting sentences with and. And having one… word. sentences.
I have to say, though. I know most of the punctuation rules. I just choose to not follow them.
The last day of chocolate milkshake month? That means that I’ve missed…29 milkshakes (and probably 29 pounds). Ugh!
Oh man. I can’t believe I missed it.
I missed all of those holidays! How disappointing. I guess I could still run out and get a milkshake now. Interesting that it’s only chocolate though. My boyfriend discovered those Sarah Palin dolls last week and I’ve been hearing about them ever since. At least he was able to get in some celebrating for the Festival of Latest Novelties.
Those action figure folk are speedy quick. I can’t even decide what flavour of milkshake to have that quickly.
