Rambling Rhodes: Happy 4th Of July

Happy 4th Of July

I probably won't be doing much in the way of blogging over the weekend. I have plans to cook out, and camp, and light fireworks, and rollerblade, and just enjoy the long weekend in general.

I suggest you all go do the same. Set aside your political gripes. Celebrate America because, for all its shortcomings, this truly is an amazing country.

Crack a beer. Fly your flags with pride. Go to a parade. Watch fireworks. Light fireworks. Visit your local burn unit. Get a skin graft.

Happy birthday, America. God bless us all.

Aw, that's so cute. The pretty lady put a t-shirt on her monkey.

Happy 4th, Ryan.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing Joshua did, even before I read his comment. I think the frighteningly simian appearance is due to a combination of primitive traits: prominent brow, deep-set eyes, robust jaws, forward projection of the lower face, large everted ears, proportionally large mouth & teeth, and let's not forget the ass hirsutism. But anyway... happy 4th.

*sigh* I suppose I had this coming after the "Joshua 'The Torso' Norton" crack.

Nice monkey. Spank the monkey. Bad monkey!

Pretty much.

If I weren't too tired to fall out of my chair, I would have tumbled because of this comment thread.

I'm going to laugh for about a week now. Sorry Ryan.
