Have you done something to the Americans, Rav? :speech:

Haha. My evil plan has reached it's culmination! :devil:
Why, the Americans are celebrating 'President's Day' as we speak!
(It's one of their national holidays so I understand...)

Never heard of it
But from what I have seen here not many people find cause for celebration in the current president.

Neither had I, but it's on one of my calendars...
And Juni said she wasn't working today because of it.

*shrugs* I think it may be presidents in general...that, or Americans just like the day off from work.

Oh, I remember they said they had time off. I didn't know why. It must be like the queen's birthday (except we don't get a day off for that. Not fair
)

Yeah...
Ah well. We probably get a day off when they don't, so I suppose it evens out...

Is that the definition of "optimism" you got from your opera thing, perchance? :laugh:

We have a day of the Dynasty, but only civil servants get a holiday for that one (though we have a national holiday too).
In Liberia, "national holidays" by the handful. Recently Armed Forces' Day, Also Independence day, Flag day & Birthdays of Presidents Roberts & Tubman...

You haven't seen the "O RLY" owls then?
I can't give you a link, because I have no idea what pictures there are. Google "O RLY" at your own risk

Well that was a letdown. I only checked the official site, but that is not exactly what I want to see if I'm looking for hooters.
