RE: ’Scuse me, 官
Patriot Day is in remembrance of the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks. I am looking at my Veterans of Foreign Wars calendar sitting over my desk that not only recognizes the day, but also reminds us that the flag is to be flown at half staff until sunset.
Now if you are a far-left Progressive that thinks that the real terrorist is the United States, and that September 11th should be a day of repentance for all of the sins that this nation has perpetrated on the world, then you would recognize it as the National Day of Service.
The Mandarin, whose real name is 吏恆, joined the order in 1309, and introduced the Gormogons into England during the 18th Century.
The Mandarin enjoys spending time with his pet manticore, Βάρἰκος, or Barry (who can be found in the Bestiary). When not in the Castle…well, frankly, nobody is quite sure where he goes.
The Mandarin popularized the fine art of “gut booting,” by which he delivers a powerful kick to the stomach of anyone that annoys him. Although nearly universal today, the act of gut booting or threatening someone or something with a gut boot is solely due to him.
