Happy Successful Rebellion Against The Evil Empire Day!

I think the American one has an Eagle on it.

[Ithillian Turambar]

What animal would we put on ours?

[ineedfourberfs]

Squirtle.

 

 

WAIT.

 

 

 

 

The neighbors cat, Rex. He goes on walks!

*Waits for cindy, sure that she is capable of hearing the soft snap of a kitteh-meme embedding into a post from any distance*

[Ithillian Turambar]

here kitty kitty kitty ...

[ineedfourberfs]

Probably sauced from the sangria.

 

I know I would be. There is a local uni-holiday called autonomy day coming up that my flatmates have roped me into. I am genuinely worried at the start time of this event being roughly 6am.

 

And that was when I realised I am becoming an old man.

A lion or three perhaps? I have no idea how Berf got hash browns when ordering a burger.

 

My passport is navy blue with a gold coat of arms or emblem or something. Don't remember exactly what's on it but I imagine it has a Bald Eagle. I'll check when I get back to my room.

 

And yes, we hold our hands over our hearts for the national anthem even if it is set to the tune of an old drinking song.

[Ithillian Turambar]

There's nothing wrong with getting emotional whilst singing a drinking song

[ineedfourberfs]

Neither, believe me. I'm quite good with accents, so even when my 'neutral' is getting mixed up, it's seriously a what the? situation. 

 

 

Navy and Gold 2, other more brash and tacky versions 1 :P

[Ithillian Turambar]

The American National Anthem always reminds me of a book called 'My Naughty Little Sister' - which is set in America.

 

It's about a little girl who has just started kindergarten. They are doing the learning about the Declaration of Independence thing and the four score years and stuffs and learning the national Anthem read to put on the annual show.

 

She goes home very excited to talk to her mum. She wanted to know what a dawnser was. Because they needed to make sure they had one to celebrate with. So they could turn on its lee light.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Two blue and gold passports and a red and gold one.

[ineedfourberfs]

I will admit Red and Gold can be quite... Grand Rich. Not Class Rich. There's a difference.

[Ithillian Turambar]

It's kind of burgandy

[ineedfourberfs]

Also, 17 March is the other biggest drinking day in Boston. It's both St. Patrick's Day and Evacuation Day which means you best get doubly drunk or you're not a true Bostonian.

[ineedfourberfs]

I've always wanted to see Boston. The rain and general vibe of slacker-moroseness appeals.

 

Also, putting on a Boawst'n accent is like the funnest thing ever.

Burgundy reds are excellent. I'm particularly partial to Beaujolais-Villages. Cheap, tasty, and ready to drink.

[ineedfourberfs]

I have no idea what either of those are.

 

I hope Whiskey. I suspect beer. I fear wine cooler.

[Basel Gill]

I always remember the film - The Madness of King George - where he always flipped out if anyone mentioned the Colonies.

And The Patriot ... Kate was always surprised that we were never taught about our Bad Guys in that war. It was all quite awful.

 

King George's diary entry for July 4, 1776 was "Nothing important happened today."

 

[ineedfourberfs]

I remember that happening.

 

I remember it happening twice in cinemas, actually.

I have no idea what either of those are.

Actually, they are wines, I think.

as in the Madness of?

[WWWwombat]

It's pronounced "Bawstin" or "Baws'n." Unless you're trying to sound like a Kennedy, that is.

[Ithillian Turambar]

They are wines.

 

I prefer a nice cabernet sauvignon - or a merlot.

 

Chilean Cabernet is very nice.

 

 

Australia makes some very nice wine too.
