This Confederate flag bullshit has gotten me riled and I have one on order.

I've just decided that I'm going to start celebrating Confederate Memorial Day but there really isn't a consensus of when it is among the Southern States. Different states, different days.

Howzabout you Southern boys hammering me out a good day to celebrate it?

I do want it in late April, though and now in the middle of winter like they celebrate it in Texas.


In short, gimme a date.

Thanks.

Proven by the fact that he just took his flag and went home, hasn't been back! He don't need no stinking opinions from a bunch a backwoods mouth breathing cousin humpin southerners. "That's not the way we do it where I come from" he said. " I'm taking my shit and I'm going home"

Hes not a 'damn yankee' just a 'yankee'.  A yankee is someone who comes down south, visits, and goes back up north.  A damn yankee is one who comes down south a stays.

OK, I have figured this out.

Seeing how the several Southern States can't seem to come to a consensus, I am simply going to check the weather reports for good barbecue days and celebrate it according to the custom of the state that has theirs slated for a good barbecue day.

FWIW I have never been a rebel flag kind of guy until I was forced to pick a side.

Of course, as is easily predictable, I went STRAIGHT to the under dog.
