Warm hugs to all the members of my American family here.  :smile:

I was wondering what all those bangs were last night - thought somebody was shooting up the neighborhood but I guess it was just firecrackers  :teddyr:

Anyhow happy 4th everybody!

I know this sounds very weird but growing up during the civil war in Rhodesia, fireworks were banned. I only experienced them when I came to South Africa in 1987.   :smile:

MURICA!!! :cheers:

Happy 4th, Everybody!

Come on everybody! where's the Americans here?... CHEERS! ???

"the founding father's owned slaves!!!!!" - dozens of morons every year  

WE KNOW

Yup - only in an American Holiday thread...

I never read anything like that in any other posted here - UK, Germany...

Why Lester?



and by the way... are you calling us morons?    -   Because we celebrate this great country's birthday?

No, I'm saying that people who point out that the founding fathers owned slaves are morons for thinking we don't already know that

Thanks for clarifying - I thought you were saying dozens of people per year were morons for agreeing to be slaves.  :wink:

America. F**k Yeah!

Just another day at the office for the Northeast...it rained all day yesterday and it's raining now. I Guess the saying "rain on the parade" was invented in Northeast.  :bluesad:   But yeah, Happy 4th to everyone and may those of you whose cookouts weren't ruined by the rain enjoy the food and the fun   :lookingup:

Happy 4th of July to the good ole USA!

I always get a special feeling when I see the red white and blue.

It rained all day but stopped a while ago and the sun came out about 2 hours ago. 
It was hot and muggy yesterday and grew threatening late in the day... but now it's cool and clear. 
We have lots of reasons to be glad.  I am very happy to be in New Jersey. 

I'm sitting here in bed watching Christmas movies with a couple broken ribs and I can't breathe.

I haven't seen the fireworks, and no friends bothered asking if I wanted to go.

Can't even celebrate with a beer. :cheers:

How's everyone's going?

Yeah but I was looking forward to using the grill today! Oh well, maybe tomorrow...

It was a beautiful day here in North Texas.  My wife is in the middle of a summer mini-term of her graduate work, and has a 10 page paper and a final exam due Monday - so we didn't have our usual 25 guest blowout party and cookout this year.  But my daughters had their boyfriends over, and we blew up a fair number of fireworks and lit a small bonfire in our yard (on purpose) so it was kinda fun, if a bit more low key than usual.

Sounds like fun  :smile:

Hot dogs and stuffed hamburgers today!

We had a little rain yesterday...

I was going to post this some place else, but I think here is a better place to post what I am going to say.

While the stupidity of some American people some of the time absolutely drives me nuts, we are yet the greatest people in the greatest country in the world. And why are we the greatest. It is because of . . .

the wine 'n' dine
the twilight zone tower of terror
(one of the few ran at night)
the tinker belle
the star wars
the expedition everest
the princesses
the avengers super heroes

most of these are half marathons. There is one full marathon, but that was not enough for some people, so a 4-race, 4-day event, the Dopey Challenge was initiated.

Thu. 5K
Fri. 10k
Sat. half marathon
Sun. full marathon
total 48.6 miles

And all race spots are sold out 6 months before the race begins.

And for the little ones . . .

under 1s= diaper dash
1-3 = 100m dash
4-6 = 200m dash
7-8 = 400m dash
Under 14s = 1 mile

(1) Give kids something healthy to do, and they may do it for the rest of their lives.
(2) Parents. Race with your kids, and you'll have something to do together, when you get home.
(3) And, yes. Some of the kids wear costumes.

But, that is just the races.
As for the racers . . .
there are (is) the . . .

ballerinas
firefighters in full protective gear
Green Berets in full combat gear
majorettes
man who juggles
man who carries a pizza
and the man who carries the American flag to honor his fellow veterans

and the partial costumes . . .

t-shirts: batman, etc.
(They took a wrong turn at Warner Bros.)
hats: goofy, sorcerer's apprentice, sombreros, etc.
caps: donald, goofy, etc.
misc.: ad-visors, reindeer antlers, tiaras, etc.

Families . . .

the incredibles
snow white and the 7 dwarfs
101 dalmatians

and the full costumes . . .

Was that Elvis I saw run past?

Maybe he was chasing the bunch of grapes I saw earlier.

aladdin -- buzz -- captain america -- cruella de vil -- daisy -- dee and dum -- donald -- the fairy godmothers (all 3) -- goofy -- mary poppins' bert -- mickey -- minnie -- the nephews (all 3) -- olaf -- peter pan -- piglet -- pooh -- prince charming -- superman (boy! is he lost?) -- tarzan -- vanelope -- the white rabbit -- and woody.

It's your princesses . . .

anna and elsa -- aurora and ariel -- belle and jasmine -- pocahontas and tiana -- rapunzel and merida -- and cinderella.

But, the wedding cake topper has to be the young couple that ran as . . .
darth vader and princess leia.

Amind all the divorces, there is one marriage that will survive.
(1) They share a common interest.
(2) And they have a similar sense of humor.

It is that sense of imagination and sense of fun, from all the runners, that makes Americans the greatest people on earth. And anybody that thinks to crush it, should be crushed themselves. S-s-l-l-o-o-w-w-l-l-y-y!!

And it is that country that allows its people to differentiate themselves and to show such diversity that makes it the greatest country on earth.

Happy birthday! America!
