January 20 is International Fetish Day? Well, c’mon over, take your shoes off and stay a while. (I apologize for that. I’m going through a hard time. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!)
Following up on our focus on the second to last panel, a true fetish involves an external object, not part of the physical body. We will now open the discussion as to what in this case that external object may be.
Oh, so Friday is International Fetish Day. Not National Fetish Day. Our congress would never promote the kinky stuff. They’d do it. Just not promote it.
I am a Capricorn and my favorite gem is the garnet of which I have several. Also, my favorite flower is the carnation. Seems like I was born under the right sign!
If I had only known…. We were married on Friday January 20 1989 which, in looking back, I see was the third Friday in January. Now that I know this and our anniversary falls on the third Friday in January this year, we’ll have to see what we can come up with!
The greatest number of sociopaths are also born in January. If caught doing something strange in front of her, my wife would mention that to me with a worried look on her face and then walk away shaking her head. Honestly, I don’t know why she never left me. /S

Arlo is a walking encyclopedia of useless practical knowledge. However, his last tidbit might cause one to question his sources.

If, the present weather in east Russia reaches the USA. January will be represented by a shivering polar bear.

Janus also gave his name to doorkeepers, whose job often included sweeping up, and are now best known for cleaning the entire building – janitors.

For the fetish day, do you simply do your usual ones or do you try something you just found out about?
