MAIN THREAD: Happy 4th of July and General Discussion

Image
  'MURICA!  It's that time of year where people celebrate the good, ole USA by barbecuing, shooting off fireworks, wearing anything with the colors red, white, and blue, and drinking themselves into an incoherent stupor. The actual holiday, of course, also known as Independence Day, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America. It's a time for parades, loud chants, flag waving, guns, broads, beer, and all sorts of catchy - and also some annoying as hell - songs singing the praises of this land of the free and home of the brave. Unfortunately it's also time for those obnoxious ass ungrateful rainbow haired jackasses to whine and screech about how terrible the country that allows them to stay at home and not work is.  But I digress.  This year is also the 250th anniversary of this great country, another milestone in itself.  So let's get patriotic and hope it can last another 5 years at lea...

OLD THREAD: Memorial Day and General Discussion

Image
 Well, it's Memorial Day time and I figured I'd actually write a new thread about it.  Just the basic history, etc, blah blah blah. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, originated in the years following the American Civil War to honor fallen soldiers and was established as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with spring flowers. Originally created to mourn only Union soldiers who died in the Civil War, the holiday was expanded after World War I to honor American service members who lost their lives in all conflicts. Although the day gradually came to be known as Memorial Day, it wasn't officially declared a federal holiday by an act of Congress until 1971 and the date of observance was moved from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. Fun fact: Inspired by the famous World War I poem "In Flanders Fields," professor Moina Michael championed the sale of silk and paper poppies to raise funds for disabled veterans, c...

OLD THREAD: Happy Easter! And General Discussion

Image
 Hoppy - uh, I mean - Happy Easter!  It's finally that time of year when the coldness of winter will be replaced with the warmer rainy weather of Spring. It's also the time for pastel colors, baskets, colored eggs (racist!), and, of course, Jesus' resurrection.  Not to mention a giant rabbit trespassing in your yard to hide a bunch of those aforementioned diversely colored eggs instead of, let's see, just leaving them on your doorstep all nice and orderly in a pretty basket.  Dirty, rat bastard.  Oh, and mutha fuckin' Cadbury creme eggs! It's a time to celebrate life and rebirth, to scarf down Easter dinner, go to Easter Sunday service (For some, the one time of the year. Damn heathens.), and guzzle a shit ton of candy.   And you don't even have to dress up in a silly costume and go door to door begging for it.  Hell yeah!  No creepy ghouls and ghosts, no wrapped gifts, no hearts and lovey dovey stuff, no green beer, just a celebration of the...

OLD THREAD: Happy St. Patrick's Day! and General Discussion

Image
  Well, it's March, and the time of year where everybody wears green and uses it as another excuse to get sloppy ass drunk. Yes, you guessed it, it's time for St. Patrick's Day! It's time for shamrocks, leprechauns, violating somebody by pinching them for not wearing green, McDonald's shamrock shakes, and drinking green colored beer. Honestly, I'm not quite sure how this became such a big holiday. I mean, I guess it's rooted in Christianity lore based on this summary from Google AI:  "St. Patrick’s Day commemorates Saint Patrick, a 5th-century Romano-British missionary who was kidnapped as a teenager and enslaved in Ireland. After escaping, he returned to convert the Irish to Christianity, using the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. He died on March 17, 461, and is the patron saint of Ireland." But still, it's wild to think a random story of hardship and suffrage, even though it ended in a positive, successful campaign, was singled out as a...
