How do we not confuse this with "Vacation Day"? Just asking because if someone is out at work, I always ask them if they "were out with VD" when they return

And this is where attention to details is important.

It's, "Happy VD, Spread the Joy!" A simple calling out of VD could mean anything. This is the trap I fell into in my early PR Campaign to bring this into our collective gestalt. By adding the suffix, "Spread the Joy", there can be no uncertainty in anyone's mind that I'm discussing Valentine's Day.

You, gentlemen, win the Tag Team Internet of the Day. Congratulations!

Recognizing the importance of spreading the message far and wide of, "Happy VD, Spread the Joy", is extremely insightful.

I bestow upon each of you honorary Patient Double Zero status!
Congratulations and continue spreading the joy of a Happy VD to all!!

So does shared status as patient 00 include a license to offend coworkers, without fear of reprisal, backed by the guarantee of future work, from the CE-yo?

It's "Happy VD, Spread the Joy", to be clear. Very different that what I believe you speak of.

They can be directed to the closest cry closet. It isn't like they were born with it. In this society people without VD will be offended as well. In my opinion, if you don't offend someone today you're doing it wrong.

MK, I volunteer to join this effort by producing and publishing a peer reviewed study proving beyond any possibility of contradiction that this effort is our only hope of preventing the end of the world in 12 years. (I'm sure RD will be happy to be a 'peer' and I know I can count on MK. All I'd have to do then is call a few friends who owe me a couple reviews).
With three or four 'computer models' we'd be a sure thing for an NAS grant.....ummmm, $600K sounds about right.
