If you’re not in the US, Memorial Day is a day we remember those who lost their lives fighting for our country. It’s also become a day where we celebrate Veterans and those who are serving in our military currently. It’s also an excuse to put on your favorite flag outfit, pop open a Bud Light (the world’s best beer) and grill up a bunch of slop scraped off the floor of a meat packing plant and rolled into the shape of a skinny penis. #Merica
Here is what you should do instead:
1. Find something good to binge on Netflix because it’s probably going to rain, especially if you’re in the east coast. It always rains on Memorial Day. I suggest Evil Genius. Just trust me. It’s 4 episodes, and you’ll love it.
2. Google stalk Aaron Tveit to find out how rehearsal’s for Moulin Rogue are going. It’s a requirement for us to mention Aaron Tveit every Memorial Day. It’s in our company charter.
3. Read a few of the GDPR emails you’ve got in your inbox. Hey! Great time to tell you we are GDPR compliant (we think) and you an check out our privacy policy if you are in Europe where they care about your privacy. If you’re in the US, you’re outta luck. We’re selling your personal information as you read this. (no we aren’t. Seriously, someone read our privacy policy please. We paid for it)
4. Create a Bingo chart for things you will definitely hear us say during all Hangoutlanders in the next few years covering the next few Outlander seasons. A few ideas: “NO MORE RAPE”; “OMG they were racist again”; “WHY, writers WHY?”; and “JAMIE WOUlDN”T DO THAT.”
5. Join an MLM. Lol jk. Please don’t do that. But you should read all our coverage on all the MLMs we hate (spoiler: all of them except for Pampered Chef) https://thatsnormal.wpengine.com/?s=mlm
6. Join our Facebook group! Post a funny! See if you can get a lot of people to laugh so you can feel really good about yourself! It works! We promise!
7. Get started on our Boozy Book Club pick for June The Kiss Quotient. So many people have read it and it’s got so much buzz— plus we have an interview with the author Helen Hoang to share soon (pretty sure I may have just ruined a surprise, whoops). You’ll love this book! (Hey- you can win a copy here!)
8. Skip the hot dogs and bring this Za’atar-Roasted Cauliflower with a Date Farro Salad from Blue Apron to a picnic. Everyone will make fun of you but then the joke will be on them because this shit is delicious. I made it last night.
9. Stick a dollar store flag in your planters and light some sparklers once it gets dark. Heck, pop a Bud Light, even. It’s #Merica baby! Celebrate it!
