Agnes by Tony Cochran for February 29, 2012

Who else would like join me, raising a flagon of chocolate syrup, toasting a worry-free day of countless calorie consumption?

Jim, I’ll drink to that!

There are some other things maybe I’ll do too….

And a few things I’ll NOT do…. with abandon….

Is it true that once you break cookies the calories all fall out? You can eat boxes of broken cookies even in years that don’t have a free day in February.

@ Rshive – I’m always been taught that the things you eat a coffee hour after worship services don’t have calories. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Agnes has never been a normal kid.

…anything your mother makes “just for you!” is calorie-free, but loaded with guilt…

Further proof that Trout is the smart one

It goesThe Vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison while the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.

Hoboy, the calories WILL count because you’ll feel them tomorrow. I WISH I could’ve slept all day!

From the Court Jester (1956) with Danny Kaye:Griselda: [Correcting Hawkins’ recitation of the directions about the drinks] No! The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle…Jean: …the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true. Even I can say it!Hawkins: Then YOU fight him!

But its Danny Kaye’s verse we remember..So I wasted a free day by going to work? Bummer! And it snowed today! Wet, slushy, slippery, fall on your a$$ snow. (then the sun came out and dried up all the snow and the spiders stayed put!).Well if its a free day – then I’m going to put butter on my hot cross buns!

OMG I didn’t know that …. and I missed my chance …. now I have to wait 4 years
