OT: Happy 247th Birthday to the United States of America
Darker Blue is just an angry person that posts crude sexual retorts to disagreement. Unprompted in another thread he offered me butthole picks and asked if I rub my nipples so you’ve got that to look forward to if you make him angry enough.
Hahaha
You don't love me anymore? When we were dating you loved me.
That's Fucked up man
Eh, maybe. I'm not sure.
What I am sure is that there are many countries more democratic than the US (link), which doesn't sit well with me. I prefer democracy.
Still, it's our birthday and I intend to celebrate with good friends, good food, some wine, and watch some fireworks. Happy birthday everyone.
I have lived the American Dream. Went to school, got a job, married a beautiful woman, bought a little house, had a little family. I wouldn’t want it any other way (except I wish I was an MLB player). Besides, all my stuff is here.
it’s the greatest by my metric. The Dr Jaws list of what makes your country the greatest.
#1 baby!
USA! USA! USA!
I wish you great success in whatever greater country you choose.
Name a nation that had as much power as the US and did more good with it. (Don't mischaracterize the question as "chronicle all the bad things the US has done. Answer what was asked.)
Then, if you insist on looking at the bad things, name a country that was as powerful as the US that did more net good that the US.)
While on the other side of the pond ...
This is apparently a story that Abraham Lincoln liked to tell:
Ethan Allen returned to England after the war, and the British made fun of him. One day they put a picture of George Washington in an outhouse where Allen would be sure to see it. He used the outhouse but said nothing about the picture. Then the British asked him about it and Allen said it was a very appropriate place for an Englishman to hang the picture because “nothing will make an Englishman shit so quick as the sight of General Washington.”
That's my favorite scene from the film "Lincoln." I especially liked the fact that it was told by an Englishman playing Lincoln.
I think both Lincoln and Daniel Day-Lewis would have appreciated the irony.
I'm embarrassed to say that I've never seen that film. I really should watch it. Daniel Day-Lewis is an amazing actor.
My white shirt hates this decision.
So does your pink stomach, and your ... (fill in the blank)
Celebrate our country that fosters what can be and allows self-reflection. Merit and achievement translate into our sports scoring and fandom.
Long Island Ice Tea is LIIT!
Isn't it Long Island Blockchain now?
made, and possibly drank, a few of those at charlie's back in the day in AA.
I miss the sub-$5 pitchers of Long Island Iced Tea at the Jug. I say "sub-$5" because I can't remember exactly what they cost. All I remember is that shit was cheap.
Beleive it or not, July 2 is the real birthday.

America! Fuck Yeah!
Enjoy the day everyone
I look at the OP and the 247 makes me dwell on two things:
- Only 3 years until 250, that’s kinda a milestone number. Good for you, America.
- I remember 200 years, me and my best mate drove over to Windsor, bought a 40 oz Canadian Club at the Duty Free, and got plenty drunk watching Charlie Daniels Band playing on a barge on the Detroit River. Good times.
Happy 4th of July....
This could be Brittney Spears' cousin.
Happy Birthday America. Blessed we are as a nation, despite all the nonsense. 🙏
Happy B-Day America. May this year be better than the last.
