God Bless America!
July 3, 2008
Here we are, the greatest non-sports weekend of the year. Some call it Independance day, some call it the 4th of July, some call it Fuck you England day. Whatever you call it, I hope everyone enjoys themselves irresponsibly this weekend. It’s the time of year when white trash everywhere don their finest tank tops and jean shorts, slap their wives, grab an 18 pack of Keystone and head out to a fireworks show, in hopes that one of their kinfolk will blow off enough fingers so they will have to give away their NASCAR tickets for the next weeks race. So here’s some tips on how to enjoy this fine day like a true American. Try and avoid the “social” fireworks displays, put on in local parks, and cities. Show your american spirit, buy some illegal fireworks, or make your own, and blow some shit up. Plan on drinking all day also. Plan on drinking more beer than what the laws of physics should allow. Remember my 4th of July drinking guide. For every hour you hope to drink, have at least 6 beers. Ideally, each person will have 2 cases to themselves, just to have a few leftovers for any unexpected guests. Try and spend the day on or near a large body of water. This will help periodically sober you up, and provide relief if you happen to blow yourself up, or catch yourself on fire. This also is a good place to be late at night, with the ladies. Remember, one person swims without a swimsuit, everyone goes without a swimsuit. Don’t worry about fat chick skinny dipping either. The two cases of beer you just drank will take care of that. Try and bring enough stuff to grill for 4 meals. Lunch, Dinner, Pre-skinny dipping, and bratwurst omelets with that fat chick you just met the night before. Plan on having a raging fire nearby. Plan on making it burn from the moment it drops below 85 degrees, till that last beer is gone, Plan on making an enemy with your illegal/homemade fireworks. Plan on having to apologize, and or buy somebody a new car/child. Plan on making such an ass of yourself, that you won’t go in public for at least a week. If everyone follows these few simple rules, our founding fathers will look down on us with pride. Happy Birthday America!
Im currently reading the biography on John Adams, and i just read his diary entry on July 2, 1776, the real day independence was declared by the continental congress. The second president reiterates what you said, only not as eloquent, but foreshadowing what we do on this day:
“The second day of July 1776 will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations oas the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.”
Okay, so we screwed up on the date, but it is pretty cool that on the day independence was declared, one of our founding fathers predicted that we would take over the entire continent and spend the day becoming a bunch of drunken redneck assholes inventing games like yardgolf and cornhole while blowing off body parts in numerous ways. God Bless America!
Did he say anything about whores?
Oh ye, Oh ye. Let us not turn our backs on the fine whores who turn onto their backs at our bidding.
My cousin is wrong. He meant belles, instead of bell’s. Guns, whore’s, fireworks, and lager. God bless this fine land!
I’ll volunteer to make the author a fine blend of sunscreen for the weekend, which I will name Crappertone. SPF 900 with corn included, assuming no runs.
Guns and whores? Count me in.
why are you reading a book? we spent $15 million on production you moron…..
Apple Pie is the shit!!!
what is up whith the automaticaly generated links? One would think that this blog would only relate to drunken moments, nudity, sports and general debauchery but I was dissapointed to see that the “Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)” was a link to some baby blog and some random chick’s thoughts about the best holiday of the year.
Uh…hello! You left out the part about where John Adams talks about Uncle Al and the BINGO cover-alls at the Gomer Dad´s Club.
