The Twelve Days of Caligumas
Sunday, August 31st marks the 1,096th birthday of
Emperor Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus - better known to fans of history and truly bizarre cinema as "Caligula" - and while most banks, government and corporate offices, struggling art galleries, puppy mills, and "chop shops" will be closed the next day in honor of the great man, it's shocking that many Americans fail to recognize this most important of holidays (just count how many shop owners wish you a "Happy three-day weekend" versus a "Merry Caligumas").
Starting on Wednesday, August 20th, RATYHTL will begin counting down the Twelve Days of Caligumas. Each post, whether they be historical tidbits, greeting cards, or angry rants about the lack of inspired madness in the modern world, will be designed with the idea of turning your Caligumas into the most wonderful time of the year in mind. The large and well-paid staff of RATYHTL also encourages you, gentle reader, to fill the comments section and the forum with tips and tales about how you plan to celebrate Caligumas 2008.
Well, there goes my degree in Alchemy out the window

well, obviously the first thing to do is to erect a huge statue of myself in the nearest synagogue. I sure can't see how any loyal citizen could possibly object to that.

Oh Man. We should get Obama to nominate a horse for VP instead of a horse's ass.
