quote out of context
Mother’s Day? Started 1914. Woodrow Wilson. Hate that guy. Love my mom. Hate the holiday. Now, you could go to Hallmark because Hallmark and Woodrow Wilson would like you to do that. But there’s something new from Vermont Teddy Bear. Three handmade teddy bears in pink, green, and white. The bears are scented, each one with a different scent: strawberry, watermelon and cupcake. It’s like a bouquet of flowers, only it’s a bear bouquet for life.

Mother’s Day is a load of wank.
I say this with a nod to Phil. When Phil was in Texas, Deron, on the February afternoon that you and he and I met at that cafe in the Bishop Arts, he walked by Epiphany, a shop whose display window was tuned into a Valentine’s Day theme, and he said,
“I’ve just had an epiphany that Valentine’s Day is a load of wank.”
can I interest you in a bear bouquet for life?
Both my brother and I were born on Mother’s day so it usually is a pretty big deal in my family.
and, dude, I have one of those.
¡Mi vida!
¿Por qué no?
¡Un ramo de osos!
Fresa.
Sandía.
¡Y magdalena!

This quote-out-of -context is better out of its Glenn Beck context. Or maybe not. Glenn Beck railing against Mother’s Day while accepting the dollars and promoting Hallmark nonetheless — that’s pretty rich.
I’d rant against Mother’s Day and tell sponsors to go fuck themselves.
Wait. I have no sponsors.
