Happy Memorial Day!

Who: Anyone who feels like dropping by
What: America's Awesome Memorial Day Cookout
Where: 1445 Mitchell Road
When: May 28th
Warnings: Overwhelming patriotism and flammable substances (will update if needed).



If you're passing by Mitchell Road today, you can probably smell the distinctive aroma of someone grilling meat. There's a big sign on the door of 1445 that says "Come Around Back!! :D" where you'll find America standing beside the grill, wearing a tacky novelty apron and cooking up burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob while humming "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Feel free to join in! Especially if you've brought food.

It's in memory of our fallen soldiers, and celebrating the freedom they won for us.

Ah, it's exactly as it sounds, then. [She rubs the back of her neck, getting the rest of her hair out.] It must be convenient, being in Mayfield for this day.

[redwhiteandhero]

Well, I mean, it'd be nicer to be home. Y'know, the real one.

[balaton]

I imagine it wouldn't go over too well with the rest of us celebrating our own holidays here.

[redwhiteandhero]

Y'don't think? Why not? [More excuses to eat food and drink booze amirite?]

[balaton]

Mayfield wouldn't like it. It wouldn't be patriotic, you know?

It wouldn't be American.

[redwhiteandhero]

But I like celebrating lots of holidays. [Unless they have to do with Communism.]

[balaton]

[She has no answer to that, so she bites into a hot dog like it's done her a grave insult.]

[redwhiteandhero]

[... That was unpleasant.]

So... how's it going?

[balaton]

My ex husband is a child in my house. It's not going well at all.

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah, that's gotta be weird.

My brother's a girl.

[balaton]

I think... That is worse.

I wonder what they'll throw at us next.

[redwhiteandhero]

She's nice and all but... it's just strange.
