As a sign of good faith from us Canadians, I just wanted to wish all my Southern neighbours a happy Independance Day!

Hope you all have fun, whether it be getting drunk, stoned or laid, or all of the above.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

Anyone care to give me a little history on Independance Day? Because as far as I'm concerned, its he day that you guys got Will Smith and some drunk with a cropduster to kill all the aliens.

People, lets keep the flag-waving nonsense to a minimum this year and try to remember what this holiday is really about: getting drunk and blowing shit up, in that order!

ARTelevision

the only thing i like about the 4th is the blowing up of stuff.
well, only fireworks. from a distance. like from the top of a warehouse. far from the madding crowd. well, that and the fact that it is a secular holiday.

for what its worth, when i was living in france i didnt like bastille day either.
the only difference between the holidays is that in the states there seem to be fewer cretins about who will throw firecrackers at you.

i dont like nationalism.

of course on this particular 4th, my girlfriend is coming back from two weeks away at a poetry thing, and that makes me quite happy.
and at this moment, greece is beating portugal 1-0 (69th minute)
so i interpret the fine wishes that started this thread in my own way, and respond with a low bow, sweeping the enormous pink feather on my hat along the marble floor....

Your comment actually made my day, albeit belatedly. It's wonderful to know that despite a fumbling administration, there are some foreigners who don't hate me as an American.
