Let’s barbeque (a meal fit for Jehovah, perhaps?) and finally say goodbye to the heat.
Bring your own meat and perhaps a side dish to share. I’ll provide beer and bubblies.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
The Ultimate Western Spoof. A town where everyone seems to be named Johnson is in the way of the railroad. In order to grab their land, Hedley Lemar, a politically connected nasty person, sends in his henchmen to make the town unlivable. After the sheriff is killed, the town demands a new sheriff from the Governor. Hedley convinces him to send the town the first Black sheriff in the west. Bart is a sophisticated urbanite who will have some difficulty winning over the townspeople.
