I just wanted to wish everyone here a very happy and safe holiday.

What are your plans for this most American day of celebration? Feel free to share your ideas on having some fun this year and try not to blow yourselves up!

For all of the Americans (of the U.S.A. variety), wherever you are scattered across the globe, I’d like to add my best wishes for a very

happy

4th

of

July.

For those of you who do not fully understand the nature of the event, this is the annual festival for premature explosions and unfortunate boating accidents. All Americans try to get them all out of our system at once. Incidentally, we celebrate the declaration of our independence from England with outdoor BBQ and heat exhaustion.

Up with the Rebels and down with the Brits! *At least for one day!

We went across the border to Wisconson to buy the "GOOD" fireworks. You know the type. About the size of a trash can with a long fuse. The instructions covered with skull and crossbones.

Ribs! Some form of fizzy pop (Sundrop Soda?) and lots of potato chips, cherries and watermellon.

Yup! Fat, sugar, and salt. American celebrations are a time to cover all of the important food groups.

[My family and I really do celebrate the day – and go all out with tradition. I'm just sorry that we're in a drought and fireworks are illegal this year. We're planning on RIBS (the all caps are for a reason with my wife's red pepper rub), beer, wine, and lots of salty things with guacamole and salsa. Less sugar, but we substitute alcohol – the fourth important food group. And ending with a watermelon seed spitting contest.]

We plan a BBQ of some ribs tomorrow, talua and flo are in Seattle parting so Gem and I will feast and enjoy the day. Fireworks are legal in Wisconsin but we are not going that route. If we drank a nice bottle of wine would be good but we will most likely stick with milk.

We have famiy comming over and yup ribs on the BBQ here to.If I could I would work on that new side walk I am putting down but I need to rest one day I guess hmmmm maybe wolfe will come up north and help me.Hay just a thought

I am going to work at my part time job. Well at least I will be making time and a half for the day. I hope everyone enjoys their day and fails to come to my store and shop. I would like independence from refolding towels, straightening rugs and trying to figure out which of our cheapest vacuums will clean the most cat hair. Or worse yet be assigned to the shoe department.

For everyone on EA I hope you have a wonderful day!

Of course EunuchOH is welcome to stop in today. Eunuchs are always welcome.

happy indepenis day

Ok so i am real late posting this, but just in case anyone's reading this... you can guess this is my favorite holiday on the US calendar. And if any gay or bi guys are true pyros... contact me.
