Happy Super Present Day - June 22nd
Hey Guys! This is Kitsune. I’m postin stuff in Sara’s Blog while she’s not lookin! And with good reason… Afterall, today is SUPER PRESENT DAY!
What? You’ve never heard of it? … Well, I guess that’s not surprising… see…
A while ago Kasa and I were talking about how we needed a holiday that falls in the middle of the year. Christmas is GREAT, but it’s a long time until you get to open presents again, and buy presents for other people. To solve this problem, we have decided on the completely randomly picked date of June 22nd to celebrate Super Present Day! … How does this work, you might ask? Well, look at the person to your left and then to your right. If you haven’t purchased them a “super” present, you’re already doing something wrong! Get out there and get them a present. but not just any present. A SUPER present. What is a super present? Well, here are some of the criteria for a super present:
1. The person who opens it says either “This present is SUPER”, “I want to have your children now that I’ve seen how great this present is”, or “This makes the PS3 look like a pile of crap with crap on top of it and the crap on top of it is taking a crap” …
2. It does not have to be large. It does not have to be shiny. Those two things do help greatly though. Both of those together make a Super present for sure. If you’ve purchased someone an elephant made entirely of rubies, I think you’re on the right track.
3. It can be electronic, but only if it is a working robot. I’m not talking about those crappy Aibo dogs that they tried to pass off as robots. I’m talking about the kind that are pretty much going to revolt against humans someday. That kind of robot.
4. Hand-made presents are right out. Nothing says “mediocre present day” like elbow macaroni glued to construction paper. I’m sorry. Those are the rules of super present day.
Aside from these rules, pretty much anything goes! Have fun! And make sure to wish everyone a Happy Super Present Day on June 22nd!
Oh, and this post has NOTHING to do with the fact that June 22nd is Sara’s birthday.

first, happy b-day.
second, super just happens to be the adverb of choice in chilean spanish. everything is super-something. super-bueno, super-frío, super-difícil.
espero que tengas un cumpleaños super-bacán. that’s a complete chilenismo for you.
i will make sure to buy myself a super present. it will probably be chocolate. or another episode of the office from itunes. or both.
bye,
