I've heard of Memorial Day but I don't know anything about what people do for it. Around here we have "May Two-Four Weekend" where you get a 24 of beer and drink it.

Lol. I suspect many americans don't know what it's for either. But it's meant to memorialize casualties of war, mainly WWII which is what it was founded for.

I can smell the meat cooking. Does that mean I'm marked for death by not celebrating and eating meat?

Our thing for that is in November, Remembrance Day. People wear fake poppies. It's a very somber occasion with no BBQing.

I suspect that anyone who died would want me to smell charred flesh today.

Every time I eat some bread or a saltine cracker I like to tell myself the body of Christ is inside me. I would never eat a people, but Jesus says it's ok. It's like vegans who eat fake meat. Or rape porn, because that's normal if I tell myself I'm only pretending.

That post was so ridiculous yet oddly satisfying

--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.

It's just a shot away..

Same reason people BBQ during every other summer holiday.
