Border Guard Day
May 28
Congratulate the good people who keep the bad guys out with this holiday and thank them for all their good work. On this day, tradition demands that we break out our home brew and drink endless toasts to the posters on the wall. Tradition also suggests, but not insistently, that we stagger out into the snow, kiss a walrus, and weep with joy over the purity of our borders.
