Comrades! Consumers! Despite beginning in a state of undue anguish, This month is a great, exciting, wonderful month! Indeed, it is in fact a month which has been set apart from all others! Comrades, join with me in celebration of February: International Grapefruit month!

Now! While traditionally this month long festival has been largely devoted towards the spreading of nutritional grapefruit information towards children and groups of people who may not be partaking of the recommended five daily portions of fruit, but do not let this deter you! For Comrades, what can we really take from the grapefruit? Nothing. It is a bitter tasting piece of fruit that might increase your life span. So what is our existence here? We're trapped, yes, we've suffered, yes, our personalities have been eroded... actually this isn't the best sales technique. It's not always easy, but Comrades, consumers, brothers and sisters we are alive! We are alive and we have all that we had before they came and all our brothers and sisters and Comrades are all still here and we all still love them and isn't it about time we showed them that?

Comrades, our tormentors are being punished, our killers are dead and although we are still here, we are here victorious! So! In place of the more traditional discussion of various nutritional values, I recommend we celebrate this fine month which has been set aside for grapefruit appreciation, with a celebration of everything the grapefruit stands for! A celebration of life, vitality, friendship, and less healthy, more delicious food!

Show friends that you care by sending them a "national grapefruit month" card!
Indulge in the traditional holiday fare of "national grapefruit month" with a delicious chocolate rice crispy cake!
Show your generosity in the ancient "exchanging of gifts" with your friends and associates!

And at some point there will of course be a huge end of National Grapefruit month gala, or something which is likely to involve music and cake!

Comrades, do not let this month of life affirming fruit appreciation slip through your fingers! Do not let it pass you bye along with so many distant memories, NO instead you must seize the month! Embrace it and it's noble traditions and spread its gentle message through the voices and means which I am selling for so little that I'm practically giving them away! So come my brothers! For he who chooses to celebrate this wonderful month is my brother! So come once more unto the breach Comrades, and buy with me today!

[ooc/disclaimer: Yes it is actually grapefruit month, no it does not have any traditions as far as I know (Prefect industriously made some up :D) and Prefect probably won't actually organize a gala. He just sort of got carried away :c]

I don't get it. Why the rice crispies if you're celebrating diet food?

The wind is sort of out of his sails now.

Because rice crispy cakes are tastier than diet food. I mean, I was thinking, grape fruits are good for you, but they taste bitter, and sometimes life is bitter and hard and difficult, but you keep on going anyway, so you should take some time to celebrate it with good things, like chocolate rice crispy cakes.

...Yes.

I'm selling them for... just sort of whatever anyone wants to give me. They're not really worth much, but it sets a poor precedent to give things away.

None of the special allocations made to this month seemed appropriate, and I like grapefruit.

So I went with grapefruit.

How about dartboards with a certain someone's picture on them, for 'Stab The Master In The Face Week'?

We can make it a holiday and everything...

National Grapefruit Month? I've seen everything..might work on Valentines Day though to get people to pucker up.

Besides the Grapfruit, you got any Gumbo fixings? Like okra and stuff? Ever since I got here I've been craving it.
From: [identity profile] lediable-blanc.livejournal.com
I can make it, I got a stove that needs using. Just need ingredients, the kitchen might have some of it.

Like what?

I want something to commemorate National Grapefruit Month. What do you have?
From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
Well, I have greeting cards, and wooden statues of...grapefruits? Or of the Yonic symbol of life?

And I have rice crispy cakes, but they're not really commemorative so much as tasty!

A greeting card. Something that says the name of the holiday and some good wishes.

What would you like in exchange?

Good job! Gold star! xD
