We shall not rest until Lions Club members are free to congregate and devour pancakes, as is their god-given right, free from the reach of syrup-less fanatics seeking to strike fear into their hearts.

Because, as we all know, nothing is more inflamatory to Evil Evildoers of Evil than a steamin' stack o' buttermilk flapjacks and a rasher of bacon on the side.

Maybe if they skipped the bacon?

Pancake breakfasts are a prime target for an attack on western imperialism and indulgence. Pass they syrup.
