Happy Hug Day 2011

Photo from Apenheul Zoo, Antwerpen, Belgium (frank wouters)This entry's a little different than the usual as it doesn't deal directly with political or social issues.  Nor is it about a member of our family.  But it shows how cats and other animals can hug each other, and we think it's appropriate for Hug Day.

Here's the entry on Hug Day from the work in progress Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht:

"January 21 (21 Chaos): Hug Day (O).  Hug your friends.  Hug your loved ones.  Confound your enemies by offering them a hug.  Hugs are free, hugs are healthy, hugs are good.  Which is why they may be illegal in some jurisdictions."

Hug Day is both 4 December and 21 January.  So Happy Hug Day!

Happy Hug Day To All And To All Goodnight

Missed hug day once again. What a shame. Like I'd care. How about making a Bootie Day? Now that's a holiday I'd celebrate. Hey everybody, it's Bootie Call Day!
