I, Mark Andrew Pilgrim, being of sound mind and body, and acting in my official capacity as… no one of any consequence, do hereby designate February 29th to be “Vonnegut Day.” The day shall be a vacation away from the busy, busy, busy. It shall be a holiday whose only commandment is to be kind to one another, God damn it. It shall be your chance to take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooooon. And it shall be celebrated on each and every February 29th, because the human race can only stand a vacation like that once every four years.
Enthusiastic +1.
May we live by the foma that make us brave and kind and healthy and happy.

The howling sound you will hear will me screaming in anguish and ecstasy, as my cock burns off in the atmosphere.

Brilliant idea.
Even though Vonnegut day cannot be celebrated this year, I am celebrating Vonnegut’s life by re-reading Slaughterhouse-Five.

And the human race should start the day drinking a martini, the Breakfast of Champions.

YES! Let’s make this happen. Any sympathetic congresspeople willing to issue a proclamation?
