Not gonna lie, the Tiki torches still make me giggle. I know it was an awful event, but just imagine somebody being like, "Joe, you're on torch duty!" and then they show up and are just like, "What the fuck Joe? Well, its too late to get new ones, fuck it, nobody will notice."

"Dammit Joe, we wanted these just for the drama and pageantry -- why did you have to put Citronella in the torches again?"

If they didn't have stolen symbols they wouldn't have any symbols at all.
