Thanks for ruining a tradition. :dubious: Try as I may, I can’t see a single thing wrong with this outcome. We need to petition the President and Congress and get this made official! ---

We need some carols for this holiday! how about “Oh come, all ye faithful?” ZZ Tops “Pearl Necklace” would also be appropriate. Actually, any song would be OK as long as it can be hummed… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/steak-and-bj-day/293619.md?page=2)
