I don't know about anyone else, but I intend for my house to look like a circus tent- I'm turning on lights I usually never use.

I might even turn on my car lights for the hour...

I’ll switch on every electronic thing on the property.

[which includes some welding equipment...that’ll get the meter spinning]

Might even burn some old tires, just for kicks.

I’ve decided to “Go Griswald” and put up all the Christmas decorations for that night.

It’ll also be my commentary on the UN Islam Resolution.

I’m with you on this. I might even leave the well water running and burn an old mattress.

You guys are going to miss out on “North Korean Solidarity Hour”? Me too. I didn’t swear an oath to defend the Constitution just so I could live like one of Dear Leader’s kids.

“I’ve decided to “Go Griswald” and put up all the Christmas decorations for that night.”

Excellent idea! We haven’t bothered to take our lights down from 14 trees in one of the yards.

This will drive my lib neighbors up the wall.... These are the kind of folks that use live traps to catch house mice, so they can let them free in some other neighbors yard.

I am looking forward to this party. I’ll leave everything lit up all night, just to make sure that they know it’s deliberate. ;>)

They’ve been hyping this thing on radio and TV ads for two weeks now. This is very current.

Wait until Dear Leader gets one of his PTCs into every building in the USA. You will be punished for consuming more than you deserve!!!

“How much methane can we all release?”

That’s it, it’s now official. It’s “Nation Bean Night.” I’ll fix my famous “Hot spiced Chili with Elk meat”... and boil up a few eggs to eat with beer while it’s cooking.

I should be able to weld—on my end. ;>)

I’ll turn on a few extra lights for the disadvantaged in the developing countries. It is the least I can do for humanity and the global ICE AGE quickly approaching!
