Cathy the Cakeeater is in need of a Boy Scout
Not apparently for driving any tent pegs, either.
Cathy wants the details on the proper ettiquette for disposing of a United States flag via burning.
I think I remember this from Eagle Scout training but would be interested to see what type of comment thread this will generate.
So let's help the old lady cross the street, eh?
Cut out the blue field, burn the stripes, and then the stars. Not in public--no cameras or dope-smokers within 2000 yards.
