It’s that time of year again, when the moto-boners are rock hard and the guilt-tripping Angry Facebook Veterans come out of their dark basements to tell you you’re a piece of shit for not dedicating every waking moment of your life to honoring the military.
Of course, I would be remiss to neglect that while Veteran’s Day is coming up on November 11th, the other major holiday for Marines is the Marine Corps’ 240th birthday on November 10th. With these tidings brings unwanted car washes and fundraisers to raise money for the ball that no one actually enjoys. I’ll save that rant for the comic I’m sure I’ll be doing next week anyway.
For those of you putting together your own tactical maps of where to get free shit next week, here’s a short list I stole from Time.
Applebee’s: A choice of seven different meals on the house (beverages and gratuity not included).
