Happy Valentines Day

Stephen should be back tonight if I'm not mistaken. (And I'm never mistaken.) So, February 14 we will see him again.

Something interesting that I have noticed through the years is that at the start of every show, the crowd usually chants, "stephen, stephen, stephen. Stephen. Stephen. Stephen. Stephen! Stephen! Stephen! STEPHEN!! STEPHEN! STEPHEN!!! STEPHEN! Stephen."

It always starts quietly and then builds to a loud roar and then dies down again. I tend to count how many times his name is chanted. It varies or course. And can you really call it chanting if only one person is saying it?

But here's my point and I do have one. It seems to be about 14 times that his name is chanted loudly enough to be called chanting. And today is the 14th. And today is all about Love. So it is no coincidence that 14 is the same number for both of these occurrences. People love Stephen Colbert. No other conclusion fits the truthiness test.

So, from all of America, Happy Valentines Day Stephen Colbert.

Or perhaps I should say, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day.
