Several readers have come up with the idea of a Dead Che BBQ/Grill Day and I have to say I like it.
So, we make it official and celebrate it on the anniversary of his becoming a good communist.
Since the story says the authorities were tipped by a pig farmer in the area, some sort of pork must be part of the menu. And no, dear people from Georgia, BBQ or grilled Baloney sandwiches are acceptable. I know how you guys think. 😀
You can figure out the rest of the menu to fit your particular taste and we need to come up with an official drink later. We have 8 months to prepare.
Any kind of drink that you could do shots with?
Red beer?
Cuba Libre?
Has to be a Cuba Libre. With real Coke from Mexico.
Nice. Its in my calender. An interesting note (maybe)-
This “rainbow” gal used to show up at my moms church with a che shirt on…. It used to make me think of the definition of irony….
Calendar marked!
We can’t currently attend (nor host) any manner of shindigs, but perchance that’ll change by October.
Even if you do a grill cheese sandwich with bacon on your own, it counts 🙂
Oh, I’ll likely smoke a small slab of pig ribs for the family. Good thing I never got religion; so many fine celebrations would be out of bounds!
Should the holiday become established, there might be merchandise opportunities. Che voodoo doll suitable for stuffing with Tannerite, anyone?
hehe, the “grilled Che” with bacon…
A friend has a combo Che BBQ party/range day planned. He said the range part was to commerate the last sounds Che heard before he became a good communist.
For fun, you could call it Good Start Day. Then when a random 20-something douche in his/her/xer Che shirt wanders up asking what it is you’re celebrating, you can give them a cheerful explanation while all your friends look at their shirt with something akin to the 1000 yard stare. Then you all can sit back and have a good laugh as the persxn rapidly sloshes away in their urine soaked shoes.
“Cuba Libre” would be fitting because of the name.
And rum is always appropriate.
Maybe add some target shooting before the drinking starts? Of course you are going to have to use che targets.
Yup, we add some shooting. Center Mass would be accurate
“Good Communist Day”
We have been celebrating Che Day here for years now, the idea of a BBQ is excellent and will be held on my range so we can recreate the last noise che ever heard.
Also Karl Marx died on March 14 1883 but I haven’t figured out what type of party should go with such an auspicious occasion
Make it a monthly celebration. But who do we choose?
Chou Enlai January 8
Lenin January 21
Nicolae Ceaușescu February 5 (he died on Christmas Day, so instead use his birthday?)
Double header! Stalin March 5 Hugo Chavez March 5
Karl Marx March 14
Pol Pot April 15
Hitler April 30 (Hitler was leader of the National SOCIALIST German workers Party)
Erich Ernst Paul Honecker May 29 (or October 18 in honor of his leaving office just before the Fall of the Berlin Wall)
June?
I guess we are stuck with American Independence Day?
Bastille Day July 14
Ta Mok last leader of Poll Pots Khmer Rouge, July 21
Friedrich Engels August 5
The opening of the Iron Curtain between Austria and Hungary at the Pan-European Picnic on 19 August 1989. 10,000+ East Germans fled West, followed by thousands of Poles and other people fleeing Communism. Led to the Fall of the Berlin Wall
Leon Trotsky August 21
Ho Chi minh September 2
Mao Zedong September 9
Double Header Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens September 11 Nikita Krushchev September 11
Le Duc Tho October 13
Fall of the Berlin Wall November 9.
Fidel Castro November 25
Saddam Hussein December 30 (Socialst Baath Party)
Michael Z Williamson, author, Patriot, husband & father, and all around raconteur suggests Cuban Rum
Unfortunately, Cuban rum SUCKS thanks to the Revolution.
I believe we will just settle for Rum and Coke (No lemon, you heathens!)
BBQ pulled pork is always acceptable. Period.
Uhh…except if the guests are Jewish. Then…yeah, no.
@Greg Trojan: Nothing. You’re not worthy enough to get food. 8>)
@John in NH: Only if they’re observant of the kosher laws. 8>)
