I saw a pallet of candy corn at Meijer at the end of July. I bought a bag and it turned out to be the most fresh and delicious bag of candy corn I’ve ever eaten. Then I realized that all the stale candy corn I usually buy around October and am disappointed in is just super old because it sat around for 3 months before being eaten. So I’ve decided from now on, I will only enjoy candy corn during peak candy corn harvest in late July early August.

Lol, everyone knows candy corn is harvested in July. The stuff you buy in the fall is imported from Peru

You city boys make me sick!

Up here in God’s country we don’t go to no dad-blamed, fancy nancy Meijer store for our candy corn. Hell, no! We drive our trucks to the top of the Devil’s Mountain of Screaming Insanity and Painful Death; then we hike fifty seven miles through the Unholy Swamp, cross the Bridge of Savage Disembowelment into the Forbidden Plains of Lugubrious Misery, and then, and only then, after proving our strength and manly worth, do we allow our Mommies to give us the candy corn THEY got at Meijer

November? My local Home Depot was selling Christmas decorations on September 29th. There should be a law…

If I ever become the ruler of the world, I’m making a law that every month gets one major holiday, and that holiday shall be confined to that month.

That’s 13 major holidays, plus New Years (and Leap Day) since I’d also be forcing everyone to use a better calendar.

With 6-day weeks (which have their own set of advantages) you can have 12 perfect 5-week months and an extra leap week that dissappears every 8 years

'Sounds sensible. What’s your take on climate change? (Maybe I’ll write you in on my US ballot.) 😀

A ballot cast for, “Make It Stop,” is certainly the only truly sensible choice.

As with most things here, and everywhere else, you forgot “in the US”.

I feel like the qualifier is not necessary for this statement. Not everything needs that level of classification lmao. It reaches “I use arch BTW” levels after a while.

Only one solution. Halloween has done its part in keeping October secure. So NaNoWriMo and NNN need to achieve the same level of widespread corporate support that Halloween has.

IMO, Halloween needs to extend into November. The US has Thanksgiving, but it might as well be mini-Christmas at this point. Halloween needs to establish a bulwark.
