America, fuck yeah!

Well, those qualify as my fireworks for the day. Thanks for saving me the hassle.  :evil:

So which way hurts you more to spin it:  You got your asses kicked by redneck Americans, or you got your asses kicked by the French?

 :-P


We got drunk last night and proceeded to do our best to blow up Kobe`s harbor.  It was alot of fun until the cops came and very politely asked us to stop because it was quite illegal (in that area, apparently).

It was the shot heard around the world. It was the first colonial revolution. It was not the last. Sadly, there are few things I can feel proud about as concerns my country. This is one of them. Let me have my day. Let me celebrate what the makers of our constition wanted, not what we got.

Are those some Skynyrd lyrics?

We celebrated freedom by eating pork and walking around the neighborhood with drinks in hand, hootin' and throwin' up horns at children and their awesome fireworks.

I celebrated by playing with the boy while the wife played Oblivion.  It was her birthday so she got to do whatever she wanted.

You have a wife that plays Oblivion. You already got whatever you wanted  :-D

A wife with a high tolerance for pain?

I had the strangest dream last night.  I think I read f13 just before I went to be.  In my dream, you and your wife came to visit us in our La Jolla, California, beach house.  Everyone had a professional massage and we had a surf and turf barbecue. 

I had some other dreams that weren't so nice, like one with the guy with the HUGE knife in Silent Hill which I finally watched last night but didn't understand a bit of it.

He was either a representation of repressed male sexual power and rage, or a bloke with a fucking great chib.

Up to you.

Rub and a tug followed by surf and turf. You can't beat that with a stick.

Went to two BBQs yesterday, ate way too much food, played with my niece and nephew. then watched all my neighbors do their best to burn my house down after dark. Good day, but now I have a cold and am bitter and miserable. Even more than normal!

That is totally something we would do.  Weird.


Whoops, you have instigated an avatar change.

Grats to you! A day late.. but whatever. Canada needs a "We burned the White House" day.

Can we burn it again on that day?

I keed. Sort of.

I helped run a fundraising BBQ, then came home and drank and mingled with the college kids throwing a party out back.  Also have my first hangover in a decade.

I ate a pound of grilled buffalo and played some Guitar Hero.

 :thumbs_up:

I woke up at 1pm, went on the PC for a bit and....oh wait, that's all.

It was too wet to barbecue but I have an indoor grill so I grilled something or other.  I don't remember what else I did.  Maybe I just stood somewhere and counted things like usual.

Do you seriously own a house in La Jolla?  If so, then I think your income level is much to high to be posting on these forums.   :-P

Perhaps she has nothing to do? We're sort of in the same area, and it's not exactly "happening."

What's wrong with having a house in La Jolla (for a Summer home)?

I talked to a guy that had a house on the cliff in La Jolla.  His lawn was a million dollars and had it's own alarm system.  Was the best damned lawn I'd ever seen though.

edit: It rained most of the 4th but cleared up enough around 10 to go down and catch the end of the Pops concert at the Esplanade and see the fireworks.  Was a pretty impressive display.

What he said.  La Jolla has to be one of the most expensive places to live in the nation.  It's also very beautifull.  I'm just jealous if she actually does  :wink:.

I'd be curious where they would think is "nicer" to live during the rest of the year than La Jolla that they would necessitate just a summer home there!

Just rent on a shack with somewhat of an ocean view in the La Jolla\Del Mar area can run upwards of $4k/month in the summertime.  Beautiful, but damn expensive, crowded, and zero parking whatsoever.  I like living 9 miles away and visiting, would hate to have to live there.

I could see a winter home, maybe. Summer home? Ecch. I can name a dozen places I'd rather live, and they all feature forests! Damned southwesterners.

And what's with you kids and the ocean? I can't afford to buy the land my great-great-great-great-great-grandpappy was given after the war of independance because it's on a peninsula in maine. I can't afford to buy the house my family owned for six generations, even. Not just an old-timey rant, it's seriously expensive shit.

And my family were lobstermen, still are. THEY can't afford to live there anymore. S'crazy, there's no money there. Kinda like where I live now, no good jobs but expensive as hell. At least you'd want to live in maine.

Oops. I ranted about housing again. We went to mom's for the holiday and grilled burgers/dogs. She lives under big oaks so there was something of a watershed from the downpours.

This explains soooo much.

Good Grief.  It was a DREAM.

Burger dog.

Yeah, we just put our real summer home on the market. You can buy it here (http://www.christiesgreatestates.com/featured/view_13243/).

And the F13 get together is at Schild's house...

Sorry if I'm late for the celebration, but here's a flag to make up for it (mostly for the guys, and maybe Signe).

What?  They're covered up.

I approve of the body paint trend.

Seconded.

Yea, they're great.

Now don't do it again.

It's beyond the border of NSFW.

Interesting. That particular flag makes certain portions of my body so patriotic that they stand up and salute.
