A lot of folks don’t care about saving Farscape<\/i>. There’s much debate over the proper course of action in Iraq. But here’s a cause everyone can support wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n

\"Cavort!\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Marn, the Grandmistress of this particular event, lays down the ground rules (in these two<\/a> posts<\/a>) as follows:<\/p>\n

When International Cavorting Day becomes a reality (and I think we can all agree it’s just a matter of time) then everyone on the planet will be issued a Cavorting Card. The card can be cashed in on a day when it’s owner NEEDS to cavort and it will reimburse the cardholder for one day’s wages.
\nThere Will Be One Single Unbreakable Rule.
\nThe One Single Unbreakable Rule is that you cannot cash in your card to help cover time for something practical. Look, you’ll find a way to do the practical stuff, you always do.
\nNope, International Cavorting Day is about acknowledging a moment of spontaneous joy<\/b><\/i>, having freedom for random, senseless jolts of happiness.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Sure, there’s a thick strain of multilateralist feel-goodness here — heck, Marn even expects a UN resolution about this to be passed any day now.<\/p>\n

Still, if the UN can’t get behind International Cavorting Day, what the hell good are they?<\/p>\n
