You are invited to celebrate National Night Out.
Violent criminals out on parole are quaking in their boots because government is telling law-abiding citizens to throw block parties, host parades, and have cookouts to empower community awareness. You can even register, join a team, and buy NNO paraphernalia. Like three hairs from a white cat boiled with eye of newt, the celebrations will be instrumental in preventing crime. Partnering with the police for this event will be Target department stores, which recently helped pay for police roadblocks in Western North Carolina.
As an aside, over the weekend, I watched the Music Man at my parents’ house. It’s a story about a carpetbagger who came to town and told all kinds of lies to scam the people. In the end, just as he was on trial, the band of disheveled kids rushed in, and before my eyes, they were transfigured into a humongous marching band in full regalia. “Look! Synergy!†I exclaimed to my mother.
