The Fourth
Saturday, July 04, 2009 - 12:02 AM
Sadly, this guy with the painted belly seems to show up at every large parade I've ever gone to on the Fourth. Bless him: The spirit is there, but the canvas leaves much to be desired.
For those in the States, I hope you have a happy 233rd Fourth with family and friends. In fact, I hope you're reading this note on the fifth and didn't turn on your computer once.
And a personal note to my three friends serving in Iraq and Afghanistan this Fourth -- and to all those doing the same -- be safe, be well, and thank you.

Is that PBR he's holding? I do believe it is. Oh PBR, you're so cheap but you taste so bad.

Could be worse. He could be the guy who has it shaved into the hair on his back.

Down here in the South, the flag the guy has painted on his belly is the Confederate flag.
"USA! USA!"
"Um.. dude... you have a Rebel flag on your gut."
"Uh..."
There's times I hate being a Southerner... :)

Well, happy Fourth to all you Americans out there from someone who definitely ISN'T American. ;)
But the fireworks would make it worth it, for me.

It's always struck me as funny that we refer to this holiday as "the 4th of July" instead of "Independence Day." Are we afraid we're going to forget when it is?
Personally, I'm already looking forward to seeing my family at The Fourth Thursday in November.

"The 4th of July" does have a nice ring to it. :)
