It's heartwarming to know that loons and wackos can come up with an idea that an entire city can celebrate. Especially if the people that originated it actually believe it; that adds so much to the ridiculousness. Everybody's so g-damned serious and depressing nowadays... something like this is what we need. Laughter is the best medicine.

I think that is great! I wish we had frozen dead guy here in Jersey. Well we most likely do, but we don't celebrate it.
