I used to follow "Poe Toaster Day" closely, until the 2nd generation Toaster discontinued the practice. The world's a little emptier without the Toaster. And, of course, no Toaster if Poe hadn't lived.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

Jeffro: Three roses and a partially-consumed bottle of cognac was good enough for 70-some years.
Robert E. Lee's birthday also. But I don't suppose it gets celebrated much in The Great Frozen North.
I tried to find a cask of Amontillado, honest I did.
Oh, we remember, Rick. We remember.
I missed the event, so I'll have a sip of scotch in his honor.
