Happy Independence Day!!!

Post by Keizo » Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:24 pm

I wanted to say Happy July 4th to all here in the United States (and the rest of the world when the aliens come :P ) Thanks to our troops for keeping us safe so we can keep celebrating July 4th. Take care out there, guys!


*Please don't politicize this post. If you want to make anti-American statements, I ask that you start a new thread. Thank you.

Happy 4th July, even if I am now a day late!

Mind, as far as my ancestors are concerned independence day from the English is December 6th, so hopefully someone will remember that at the time?

For my part, I celebrated by getting drunk and watching an indifferent fireworks display. I think I also ate some hot dogs and bratwursts. I was disappointed in the fireworks, which I was told would be especially fancy on account of it being the bicentennial of the silly little town in which I was born and grew up and am still imprisoned (though from which I may soon escape to the Big City of Cleveland, may its streets be paved with gold). They weren't all that fancy.

I mainly enjoyed being with my friends and talking about movies (among other things). And drinking a lot of cheap horrible beer. A lot of conversation revolved around the fact that John Carpenter basically keeps trying to remake Rio Bravo to varying degrees of success, although without the Duke and also without Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. One or the other may wash, but not both (witness El Dorado).

We were drunk enough, though, mind you, that that all came out as "trying to remake Rio Bravo without 'Ricky Martin'", which is not the same thing at all. Remaking Rio Bravo without Ricky Martin can only be a good thing.

(The bit in the middle of Rio Bravo where Dino and Ricky sing, with Walter Brennan accompanying them on the harmonica, is 100% pure awesome and cannot be duplicated. Not even with Ice Cube. I guess that's my patriotic statement of the day, in honor of the Duke and Howard Hawks. That's as patriotic as I get these days, I suppose, other than to be vaguely grateful that the whole idea still at least vaguely resembles a Going Concern 232 years later... )

I hope everyone had a good day regardless of your country of origin. I was able to get some rest even with the massive fireworks that were going off! I watched some classic Twilight Zone, and lots of stand up comedy too with a nice BBQ sandwich. All in all it was a nice day. :wink:

And thanks Powerdroid! I was careful to say "The United States" because we are just a part of the Americas too. I hope I remember to return the good wishes on your independence day, but you might have to post here to remind me :D

Certainly.
Nobody will object to people in any country posting notices about their national holidays. We're from everywhere here.

On most forums I note my national holidays, 2 March and 21 April. We should all be proud of where we're from and/or have chosen to live.
