Independence Day!


Recommended Posts

So, it's been *counts on fingers* eleventy sumthin thumbs since our father and three stepfathers got a little wasted and realized that England sucks (at the time, no hate for you awesome limeys:D) and they cant be all oppressin and whatever, so they wrote this awesome "Declaration of Soul and Sexiness" and kicked all that pathetic tea into the Mississippi, the tea exploded and shot about half of those Redsocks back over to the Kingdom of Emperor Monty Python, the other half of the british army was rounded up by several small girls and turned over to the Continental Breakfast who found them guilty (when they walked into the holding cells and saw them writhing around in a pile wearing nothing but their red socks (shut up stupid, it was the socks that was red, not the coats, why do you think they called the redsocks)) so they sent them to the Boston Soylent Green factory (the first diamond shaped factory of its' kind), and then the forefathers and some uncles wrote the Constipat Constitution and climbed Pride Rock on the east wing of the White House and Obi Wan Kenobi held it up above his head as a sign of uberness to all the pimps and ladies who bowed in a massive giving of props while the Star Wars theme was played by every band in the world!

 

Today is the day we celebrate the birth of our country (and not having the BBC on 500 channels) by having killer cookouts, big explodey things, and making love in nothing but red socks.

 

UNITED STATES WINS THE UNIVERSE!!!

 

So, how will you celebrate Independence Day?

You've been reading way too much "1066 and All That" lately, haven't you?

 

I will:

a. sleep late, at least til the kids get hungry for breakfast and decide to come jump on the bed til Jimbo and/or I wake up

b. Go shopping for bratwurst and corn on the cob and watermelon because I forgot to do that today and make some kind of cookie or brownie for dessert

c. Soak said brats in some beer for a long time (a Wisconsin tradition. We have so much beer here, it's almost a sin to not soak pork of any kind in it before cooking) and then grill them

d. eat like pigs (pun fully intended)

e. go down to the lakefront and watch the fireworks display with most of the rest of the city, half of whom have had too much to drink before they even got to the parks. Everyone's remarkably well-behaved, if amusing. Buy popsicles for the kids at the park because of course we want them on a sugar high at 10:30 pm

f. Explain to my son that RJM's revisionist history is totally whacked. The tea went in the Missouri, not the Mississippi. ;P

 

Happy 4th of July!

"1066 and All That":

It's a total spoof on British history very much in the style you used above for your little 'history lesson'. It's hilarious--if you appreciate dry humor, because it's not a slapstick kind of humor. If I were teaching British history, it'd be required reading for my students to try and figure out which was the real history and which was just general poking fun. The library usually has it if you don't want to buy it, and if it doesn't, they can get it for you on interlibrary loan from a college. It's a very short book but a lot of fun.

Since I'm from a different part of the world, I won't, but I wish the very best to those of you who do celebrate it! ;)

The test papers are particularly amusing.

@Jae: Wasn't the tea thrown into Boston Harbour?

 

Yes, it was, I was just making further contributions to RJM's ridiculous history 'lesson', made even more amusing by the fact that I was a TA for a History 101 class (American history from colonial days through the Civil War) so I know what he's spoofing and when.

 

@RJM--you forgot the references to Black Adder and the folks from "Are You Being Served?", along with something (clean) about Paul Revere's horse and 1 if by land, 2 if by sea, and 3 if by alien space attack. :D

 

@ChAiNz--man, that sucks that you have to work today.
