Joker Day!: Myth Me Musings (10)

Most people refer to this day as Leap Day, and this year as Leap Year.  I prefer to think of it as Joker Day.  A passage from the Solitaire Mystery:

Oscar Day!

I’m having a few friends over tonight for the Oscars.  And while it won’t be quite the spread of themed food it was a couple years ago, I am making:
Hamburger (phones, from Juno)
Milkshakes (okay, I haven’t seen the movie but apparently this is a big deal in There Will Be Blood)
Ratatouille (from, well, Ratatouille)
and my [...]
