You people even get your own special day

Today is White Day.

Today is the day that men return the favor they received from women on Valentine's Day in the form of cookies, chocolates, or white, moist... marshmallows, pervert.

I'm not sure why it's called White Day. I'm sure Wikipedia can tell you. All I know is that the Koreans one up the Japanese (this is happening more frequently lately - witness Samsung) with Black Day on April 14.

Black Day is the day all those who received nothing on the two previous days of love gather and eat dark colored food such as jajangmyeon (Korean stir-fried noodles with a deliciously dark sauce).

I love Black Day- the makeh inu (loser dog) mentality, the hope for love hanging on a thread, and the cynical eating of tasty yet sort of gross looking food.

Thank you Korea for giving us people a special day. I can't wait to dig into my piping hot plate of black bean sauce noodles mixed with my own tears (tears of joy, of course).
