I was hoping someone else would explain the "der" -- Google failed me.

May I be a cynic and suggest Make A Difference Day might be correctly renamed "Get Your Indulgence Day?" (Here's how to get an indulgence.)

So what does Frazz mean with his use of the German singular masculine nominative definite article in the last pane?

I've missed this for 19 years??? Then again, I've never heard of USA WEEKEND nor HandsOn Network either. Thanks to the Internet there's both more information and more ignorance than ever, I guess.

From the Hands on Network website:

"For 19 years, USA WEEKEND and HandsOn Network generated by Points of Light Institute, have joined together to sponsor Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of community service. Make A Difference Day is celebrated on the fourth Saturday of October, and more than three million people served on the 2008 day. Make A Difference Day connects people with opportunities to serve, increases the strength of communities and promotes civic engagement."

I only thought of it because our paper inserts the USA Weekend in our Sunday paper and I had seen something about it.

Um, what is Make a Difference Day? I have both American Holidays and Christian Holidays on my Google Calendar, and don't have that.

That's the problem with getting older. They keep adding new holidays to the calendar and I only remember the ones I grew up with. And most of them weren't on Mondays. Hmmm, come to think of it, tomorrow isn't Monday....

Could it be because tomorrow is "Make a Difference Day"?
