This is in case a seaborne assualt is planned; but if nothing else, it will keep the Canadian Geese from crapping on the beach. <\/p>\n<p>2. Dig a 12&#8217;X20&#8242; pit to a depth of 15&#8242; in your front lawn&#8230; place 8&#8242; bamboo punji stakes 2&#8242; apart in the base. Works well for pesky Seventh Day Adventists and also suitable for &#8220;Devil&#8217;s Night&#8221; before Halloween. <\/p>\n<p>3. Go to your local market and buy every roll of toilet paper available. My mother did this 30 years ago&#8230; and I&#8217;m finally down to my last roll. <\/p>\n<p>4. Cross dress. Yes, yes&#8230; some may frown; but this is always good for putting them off balance. Just be careful about mixing patterns. <\/p>\n<p>5. Slaughter a sheep and shmear the blood over your door jamb. If you can&#8217;t find a sheep any ol&#8217; Republican will do. <\/p>\n<p>6. Read the complete works of Shakespeare&#8230; only the even numbered scenes &#038; leave out the sonnets. <\/p>\n<p>7. Lay in a supply of corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, Guiness &#038; John Jameson&#8217;s&#8230; well&#8230; St. Patrick&#8217;s Day is on Thursday&#8230; this stuff always comes in handy, particularly the Jameson&#8217;s &#038; if nothing else it&#8217;s good bait to put in the punji pit. <\/p>\n<p>8. Hop in the sack with someone you love. This is a pretty good thing to do on any day of the year&#8230; except Yom Kippur <em>unless you have observed the fast..<\/em>. Gentiles in the audience don&#8217;t have to attend services; but they have to observe the fast. <\/p>\n<p>9. Watch <em>The Lion King<\/em>. Or <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em>. And if you don&#8217;t know why this is important, then I feel sorry for you. <\/p>\n<p>10. Play nicely with your friends, look both ways when crossing the street, say please and thankyou &#038; remember to put down the toilet seat.<\/p>\n<p>I wish everyone a Great Ides of March Day! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Eve of the Ides of March&#8230; Activities to do&#8230; 1.Go to the beach deploy the concertina wire and the claymore mines (both can be gotten at Costco&#8230; Aisle #3).
