Paranoia, You Say?

Sometime after midnight, the normally calm serenity of my neighborhood was suddenly shattered by the sounds of mortar and gun fire. Throwing myself down from the couch, I began to scream, “The red hordes have finally invaded!” It was only after I had grabbed my homemade musket , which was comprised of a plunger, empty toilet paper rolls, and three rubber bands, (In your face, MacGyver!) that I realized it was July 4th. Some may have thought my actions up to this point was a bit premature. Others have theorized that I've watched Red Dawn one too many times. Better safe than sorry I say. ;)
