Valentines And Marshmallows

He said: Shortest date ever.
She said: Don't I get a kiss?


And she nudged him.

He said: From me?
She said: Yeah la!
He said: Thought you said you wouldn't kiss me.
She said: But you will.

And he laughed.

She said: I won't touch you.
He said: Yeah. Ouch.
She said: But my skin is nice.
He said: Hope so.
She said: Kiss me.

And she nudged him, so he kissed her.

She said: So lame!

And she laughed.

He said: Then what?

And he leaned in and planted a deep, passionate kiss.

He said: How was that?
She said: Yucky.
He said: Guess you'll have to show me a better one then.
She said: Whatever.

So yesterday was Wednesday. For some people it was Valentine's Day, Friendship Day or Single Awareness Day. For the rest of us, Wednesday as usual. Just a little bit weirder and a little bit more depressing.

Don't worry friends! There's always Marshmallow Day!

You should already know what Marshmallow Day is. It is on the 14th of March and is more commonly known as White Day. It is like the evil conjoined twin of Valentine's Day who was surgically removed at birth and kept locked away in the attic.

There is an actual candy blog that reviews marshmallows and that kind of thing. Go check it out, if that is your kind of thing.

But the very sound of Marshmallow Day implies a greater chance for enjoyment than Valentine's Day so... their parents must have gotten it wrong! Valentine's Day is the evil twin that should be hidden from the world and fed buckets of fish once a week!

If I said I didn't have anything against Valentine's Day would you believe me?

Anyway, those of us who found Valentine's Day somewhat unfulfilling will inevitably gather on Marshmallow Day through a process not unlike osmosis.

I plan to bake a marshmallow the size of a small dog for Marshmallow Day, and maybe have a party. Is Marshmallow Day a holiday? Otherwise I would like to propose a marshmallow sale! Where marshmallows of different sizes, shapes and flavors would be sold. Maybe we could craft a suit of marshmallow armor. Or a marshmallow gun... but they already have those. Buy a marshmallow shooter this Marshmallow Day!

According to the site it can fire "single or multiple shots of mini marshmallows or foam balls at anything or anyone you please". That sounds pretty damn sweet!

Marshmallow war! The earth shall be as a giant marshmallow in flames.

MARSHMALLOW RECIPE - For making your own marshmallow in any shape or size!

Go forth and let there be marshmallows.

Just... please don't OD on marshmallows playing Chubby Bunny or something okay? Two people have died playing that game.

I never thought that rats and marshmallows would ever go in the same post. Ever. So that will be in the next post. I saw the rat! I took a video!

Next... on Pandamomium!

you know they have something like this in japan? only they call it white day. the girls give the guys they like chocolates on v-day, but on white day - march 15th, the guys (if they, y'know, reciprocate) give the girls something in return. traditionally, they give white ribbons because according to legend, if a guy presents the girl he loves with white ribbons on white day, they'll fall in love.

cool, huh? or at least i think it is.

also i just realised i beat gene to first comment and i am temporarily stunned.

I had to point this out, due to the ironic quality of the thing:

Singles Awareness Day

Or rather: S.A.D.
Dear goodness, I wonder if they ever caught that
