Happy 4th July. . we beat up Britain . . Independence Day. . . .America

I'm trying to take some time off. Rest a bit. Been moving, new house, working hard, paying more for everything.

We're eating dry toast found in a dumpster this 4th. Thanks Brandon.

But I also think it's time to reflect and remember that the US of A used to be a bastion of freedom and one day may become one again.

We can take satisfaction that King George III got so annoyed with us that he decided to wash his hands of us unwashed heathen.

So whatever soup kitchen you're dining at or street corner you're begging from, take the time to thank Brandon but remember that we used to be much more free AND annoying.



MURKA!

OMG, laughing so hard! Your posts are certainly entertaining! No matter what political persuasion, we Americans are hopefully united on Independence Day, at least a little.

You might like to know how this event is described in "1066 and all that" (which is a famous parody of schoolbook history);

Chapter 44; The Boston Tea-Party

One day when Goerge III was insane he heard that the Americans never had afternoon tea. This made him very obstinate and he invited them all to a compulsory tea-party at Boston; the Americans, however, started by pouring the tea into Boston harbour and went on pouring things into Boston Harbour until they were quite Independent, thus causing the United States. These were also partly caused by Dick Washington who defeated the English at Bunker's Hill ("with his little mashie", as he told his father afterwards).

The War with the Americans is memorable as being the only war in which the English were ever defeated, and it was unfair because the Americans had The Allies on their side. In some ways the war was really a draw, since England remained top nation and had the Allies afterwards, while the Americans, in memory of George III's madness, still refuse to drink tea and go on pouring anything the English send them into Boston Harbour.

After this the Americans made Wittington President and gave up speaking English and became U.S.A. and Columbia and 100% etc. This was a Good Thing in the end, as it was the cause of the British Empire, but it prevented the Americans from having any more History.

I am on the gasoline diet now.
If I lose 25lbs, I might be able to squeeze another 1/10th of a mile per gallon of gas in my Jeep.
Used to be about $45 to fill it but now it’s like $90+
Thanks Brandon

July should be designated a Freedom Month with displays of patriotism and real pride reflective of strong values and moral behaviors.
To me that's actually something to celebrate versus lower base sexual depravity.

Who is going to designate that now?
We would have to wait for a president that doesn’t hate America like Biden does to designate something like that.
In the meantime, we are stuck having to celebrate Drag Queen month and Show Us Your Abortion Pride month.

Hopefully, the Queen Mother will do an inspiring speech like she did one Christmas

On a technical note; She's not the Queen Mother. Her mother was the Queen Mother.

Here they are walking into a funeral service, Queen in front;

I've offered to write an apology and even suggested a fruit basket. One of the nice ones.

With strawberries.

The '4th of July' is My favorite holiday for sure .

It's the day that 'Free Masons' should be celebrated , There would be no USA with out the Intelligence and Fraternal Bond of ' Free Masons' and yet most kids graduate High School with out having a clue what ' Free Masonry ' is .

It is sewn into the very fabric of this Country , READ A BOOK !! .

Happy 4th

Just a hunch, but I think you'd have better luck with a cheese basket.

I'll admit it wasn't until a couple years after I graduated, the first time I recall hearing anything about them.

Fruit is fine, but wait until after Wimbledon, when the price of strawberries goes back to normal.

a reply to: DBCowboy
