Beware the Ides of March! Some GREAT photos today on Slate's "Pictures of the Day."[More:]I LOVE the one from Mexico, of the little ballerina girl next to the Grim Reaper.
Some VERY cool pictures there BoPo. Wow.

Thanks for reminding me - I need to pick up the phone and wish my buddy happy old anniversary. Ex-anniversary? Who gets married on the Ides of March? Especially a theatre person.

Here's a related question. Wednesday is Pi Day, Thursday is the Ides of March, Saturday is St. Patrick's Day. So what should we celebrate on Friday?

The birthdays of John Butler Yeats, Marlin (Wild Kingdom) Perkins, Henny Youngman, Josef Mengele, Pat Nixon, Leo (Rumpole) McKern, Jerry Lewis, Chuck (Love Connection) Woolery, Nancy (Heart) Wilson, Flavor Flav or Todd (Spawn) McFarlane?

The anniversaries of the first V-2 Rocket in WWII, the My Lai Massacre or the abductions (in different years) of Italy's Aldo Moro, the CIA's William Buckley and AP's Terry Anderson (Anderson the only one who came back alive)?

Or St. Urho's Day - for the legendary/fictional patron saint of Finnish immigrants to the US, who was claimed to have driven the grasshoppers out of Finland.

I'm leaning toward either St. Urho, Kidnapping Day or Old Comedians Day (for Henny Youngman & Jerry Lewis)...

Friday is the continuation of Thursday, silly.

Today marks 5 years to the day that I met the guy who is now my husband. :)

Dano, who do you have picked going to the final four?

Wow, bp, those are excellent! I love the St. Death one too - I just discovered that whole St. Death thing a month ago when I was in a little bodega looking for San Miguel candles and came across the St. Death ones. It's a whole strange thing that's worth looking into; I have a St. Death candle in my living room now.

Uh, maybe I shouldn't have picked Stanford as one of my first round upsets.

I switched so many times, frecklefaerie, I don't even remember. Fickle year. I think I have Florida, Ohio State, Georgetown, UCLA on Metachat pool.

Ha ha, mike.
