As a sad digression, I bring you two brief excerpts from two consecutive February 22nds.

2006:

IJD: Hi honey!
5MST: ...
IJD: Honey?
5MST: Aren't you forgetting something?
IJD: Oh, the Al Askari Mosque bombing? Yeah, that sucked.
5MST: ...
IJD: Ooh, moment of silence -- good idea! Ahem, "...." ....
5MST: Look at the date.
IJD: 2-22? I guess alliteration with numbers is cool? 2-22-02 was a bit more fun though, no?
5MST: Indeed.
IJD: Yeah, those were the days. Chinook helicopter crashes and Angolan political asssassinations and oh crap today is our anniversary isn't it.
5MST: ...
IJD: I mean, uh, happy anniversary! I got you this... uh... er...
5MST: ...
IJD: (sigh) I'm really sorry dear. I'll make it up to you next year.

2007:

IJD: Hi honey!
5MST: ...
IJD: Uh... Frak!
5MST: ...
IJD: Unless... Hey, you're not observing a moment of silence for Anna Nicole Smith and/or human dignity by any chance are you?
5MST: ...
IJD: Frak!

...

And in case anyone was wondering, yes. 5MST haunts me with waking hallucinations via a chip in my head and/or an angel from the Cylon god. Pity me.
