hence, we get to blow up the sky and stuff our faces.

i think we should send all our ships out for a re-invasion/sneak attack whilst you're all barbecuing today.

I do not think the crown would really want this wayward and over opinionated child back


Happy July 4th. Be sure to drink plenty of Canadian beer--since ours is shit

I will do no such thing! I'll be drinking purely American, locally owned, operated, and brewed Ninkasi Total Domination IPA, from Eugene, OR, and it's going to kick my ass. Afterward I might indulge in a bit of Arrogant Bastard from CA. They've both been calling my name from the fridge for about a week or so. I have some Deschutes Inversion IPA from Bend, OR, to call in for backup if the need arises.

American Microbrews FTMFW!!!!

No I'm not a tea-party douche who thinks Obama is worse than King George III, I am from Virginia and Culpeper county is the next county over. Hence why I love this flag.

Ironically one of my favorite things to do on July 4th is watch Monty Python :p
 
You sure you don't want to go and rethink that plan?

We'll shoot the farmers first this time.

On another note, I like American's, if only because they keep there flags out longer than they're in the world cup. Unlike so many pretend patriots here. The American flag represents America, where as for a stupid amount of people here, it's something you show when you think your football team will win.

But I also kinda like the fact you don't see the flag around here. Less of an us Vs them vibe. Not that i think the flag showing is inherently a bad thing, but give the majority of English people a slight chance to feel better than anybody else and they'll be stupid. The BNP knew that and used it well.
 
Ah... Burgoyne, the wimp. Thanks for that James, this stuff wasnt in our curriculum back at school for some reason :D Have a happy days peeps!
yup, and despite his conspicuous absence from the proceceedings, we can't leave out Cornwallis, the invertebrate. ;)

well bear in mind that a large percentage of those explosions aren't actually fireworks... as evidenced by all the spent 9mm, .357 mag, .40 Cal, .38 special, .44 mag, and .45 ACP rounds swept off of rooftops around the country each year, :lol:

seriously though, cheers Kev.... knock one back to the 'ol colonies tonight... and don't expect too much posting any time too early tomorrow from these shores... July 5th is also a holiday here.... Big Nasty Hangover Day.

:kickass:
