Thank God for syndicated television!
-
are you talking about Mother's Day? I've never really celebrated that beyond a card and a call
-
People celebrate Mother's Day? :lol
-
You guys must have horrible mothers.
-
She never did anything for me.
-
Mom's birthday > Mother's day
Fuck this shit.
Especially since my dad's birthday falls on the SAME DAY this year.
-
whatever, doctor mchallmark
-
My mom's birthday is 9/11, so we put more energy into Mother's Day.
-
Nobody cares about 9/11 anymore.
-
She does! Plus, she was involved in a fatal car accident around the same time. It's just not very celebratory.
-
your mom's a ghost?
-
Now you're just making shit up. This is like that Curb episode.
You crazy Jews.

Yes and played by Bill Cosby.
On the way home from a weekend vacation to celebrate her birthday, some guy was on a motorcycle with his girlfriend on back. He tried to cut off a boat trailer, but hit it and his girlfriend fell off and hit the pavement. She died on impact and my mother tried to swerve, but still ended up running over the woman. She was stuck at a police station for hours until they sorted it all out. She got home late Monday night and attempted to go to work on Tuesday - then fucking planes flew into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The next day, her brother had his first leg amputated for health reasons (he lost the other one shortly after that). It's just not a fun time for her to remember.

Mother's Day isn't a real holiday. It's the greedy gears of capitalism making another gruesome turn. Unfortunately, since women have been proven to be dumber than men, they don't buy that. Fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

hey Willco, who'd you get chocolate for on White Day
-
I celebrate VALENTINE'S DAY, you fool. I got gifts for all my female co-workers (chocolate covered cherries and Starbucks gift cards), took CrystalGemini out to dinner and got my mom flowers. I'm stimulating the economy!
-
you don't celebrate White Day?!?!?! why not?!?!
-
Because I'm an American!
-
you're a CONSUMER WHORE!
-
And you're a material girl! You own more consumer products than I can dream of!
-
I'm surprised American companies haven't tried to bring White Day over...
My wife spends the majority of holidays away from her family. We only fly back to Omaha once or twice a year at the most, so she has to spend them with my family. It must be really difficult not having them nearby.

I don't celebrate White Day, but I do celebrate Columbus Day.

You mean awesome. The best part of living in the Seattle area is being 2500 miles away from anyone related to me!

Her parents are awesome, though.

We always celebrate Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, and Valentine's Day.

Wiki puts it much better:
"In Japan, Valentine's Day is observed by members of the female gender who present chocolate gifts (either store-bought or handmade), usually to a member of the male gender, as an expression of love. The handmade chocolate is usually preferred by the receiver, because it is a sign that the receiving male is the girl's "only one". On White Day, the converse happens: males who received a "honmei-choco" [chocolate of love] or "Giri-choco" [chocolate of courtesy] on Valentine's Day are expected to return the favor by giving gifts, usually more expensive. Traditionally, popular White Day gifts are cookies, sugar candies, white chocolate, marshmallows as well as jewelries, lingerie, and stuffed animals. Sometimes the term sanbai gaeshi (literally, "thrice the return") is used to describe the generally recited rule that the return gift should be two to three times the cost of the Valentine's gift."
We always did V-Day and White Day in my Japanese class in high school.

In Japan, women buy men candy on Valentine's Day. White Day is a month later, and it's the man's turn to buy candy for all the women.

There's more to this. You see, there's also different kinds of presents (chocolates) to buy. You don't just give them to your loved one(s), oh no. You also have obligation chocolates that you're supposed to give to your co-workers and such. Doesn't that sound fun?
None of the teachers I work with ever bothered doing this, though.

My sensei would always guilt the fuck out of us guys into being really generous on White Day.
Every. Single. Fucking. Year.
Oh well, it still was better than the cranky obaasan substitute teacher we had who once made us write letters to the Hiroshima survivors apologizing for bombing them.

Yeah. It was awesome. She made us watch a documentary on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and then afterwards we had to write letters to the victims, apologizing.
When our (native Japanese, mind you) sensei came back the next day, we told her about it and she was horrified.
