Is it normal to think the 4th of july is a great day to be purple on iin?

After a suggestion by dappled, numerous users agreed to switch their user color to purple on the 4th of July(and for that day only). is it normal to think such events, as long as they remain singular in nature, are a great way to have a communal event?

      No we're never gonna survive unless
      We are a little...

      Crazy yellow people walking through my head.
      One of them's got a gun, shoot the other one.
      And yet together they were friends at school
      Ohh, get it, get it, get it, no no no!

    Weeee! Now I want to know who posted this story. :D But thank you, whoever did it, because now more people will see it.

    Just to be clear to people, you only have to be purple for a day. Then we all look at how weird we look purple (except for me and my fellow purples), have a bit of a laugh about it when one post has all purple answers, feel happy, and then go back to how we were for the other 364 days of the year. :D

    I know it's just a bit of daft fun, but I love stuff like this.

              He'll be singing all day upon request of any one user in purple, until the last time zone closes down on July the 4th. Much better than Bowie. Or maybe not, but that's what I could afford for live entertainment. :D

      Not everyone is, Nana! I'm on the opposition and I'm going yellow - although stupid dappyface suggested orange is the opposite color, which it clearly is not!! - Unless... Well, unless he offers to make us all a rubber model...! Ah! Who am I kidding?! Who would want a model of an injured soldier anyways?! Yellow, Nana, on the 4th, the uprising of the opposition!!! IIAAAAAHHH >:)

          You purple villain! That's the finest thing I've been called all day. :D

          You *should* be excited. This has never happened on IIN before. You could be part of a revolutionary movement. This could be our Woodstock. People still ask if you know where you were when Kennedy or Diana died. You should know where you were when everyone turned purple. You should be standing right beside me, and you should be purple. Don't listen to Nora. But, if you must be a diplomat, just do 12 hours of each colour. And note that this isn't an option you've been given by the opposing party.

          *whispers* Purple. Purple. Purple.

              Hey, you can be the guy they interview who says, "He was always a weird kid, didn't mix much, never had a girlfriend". You can even add your own touch, like, "I think he had relations with goats". I won't care because me and Team Purple will be in a better place!
