I've Got An Idea - Everyone read this before posting on this board!

I've got an idea! From now 12 Noon CST until July 5th. let's all take a holiday. Let's not mention George Bush, Iraq, the government, any of those things some of us will defend until hell freezes over and some are putting down for any conceivable reason. Let's call a truce for Independence Day. No one bad mouths anything or anyone on this board. Are you guys man enough to do this?

Sir!! Put your hands in the air and step away, SLOWLY, from the soapbox!

Seriously folks, if you aren't out watching a ball game and drinking some brew and eating hotdogs on Friday, well, I'll have to send Ann Coulter after you.

What about those people who don't live in the US who don't celebrate our Independence Day? (*I can think of one country in particular that won't celebrate it*)

Ahh, but so much funny stuff is in the news today, not to mention this is the last day I'll be sober for a while.

Fine, after my poll thread, I'm done for a while. Hello July 5th hangover!

Independence Day? Wasn't that that movie with Will Smith and huge alien ships?

Why the hell would anyone celebrate *that*???

Based on the success of LD's holiday I feel we should extend this to a 365 day a year holiday. Then next year we can start all over again...

Who's with me?

Happy 4th to all, whether you celebrate it as a Holiday or just another Friday!

I'll say okay to the truce. Why not?

Good call. I am tiring of pushing elephants up staircases anyway. Alcohol, fire, women instead.
