#13  All worthy Snarks!
I'm definitely stealing George Floyd is 365 days drug free because we should celebrate a man's accomplishments even as we mock his unfortunate demise.

#4  Missing one Floydian ritual, though: the Stuffing of the Fentanyl in the Arse (hoop-er in the pooper). Presumably that comes before the sacred gunplay.
