You mean this isn't Memorial Day Weekend?

The good people at http://www.marriedtothesea.com/ have some excellent shit.

Damn. Another week till the summer becomes official in our tiny black hearts, if not on the calendar proper. We respect no conventional seasons here...as we often kick old man winter in the balls for the much more awesome Whiskey Season. Repeat readers here will know that we've had the Summer of Shunning, Fall of Intolerance and so forth.

To be frank, I've been under the weather this week and in my confused state this morning I panicked for a minute or two thinking that this weekend was the great American ceremony of getting shitfaced around a grill and preferably near water as well as Old Glory. Fortunately, we have another week to mull this honored holiday's schedule, so I would encourage all of you to do the same if you have yet to do so. Enjoy it folks, knock back a silly amount of cocktails and get out regardless of weather. It's your duty as a drunk. Come to think of it, that advice is sound for every day.
