4th of July.

I saw sitting around and realized - this fourth of July, I'm sick and laying up in my room after a painful working-while-sick shift at Target at buttcrack o'dark this morning. Just groaning, nauseous and sweaty and dizzy. Good 4th I have this year ( Read more... )

All due respect, I wouldn't have smiled at that "joke" either.

But still, that's pretty cool to have been around so many Important People.

To my credit, I didn't just jump into "God Fuck the Queen!" or anything. We were joking and being soldiers both of us, teasing one another, talking crap about what's going on around us, /then/ I did the American Revolution joke.

He did smile, at least, when after he got All Serious, I said, "What? Too soon?" - so I recovered it somewha...

Well, I think the part that's offensive is the "hiding, embarrassed" part. Reworking that, it could work.

What he should have done was walked up to the guys and said, "Hey, it's the 4th of July. Shouldn't you all be across the pond, shaking your fists and saying, 'To hell with your independence, give us back our continent!!' Let's go grab a bottle and call it a truce already, huh?"

I find the bad independence joke amusing.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Here's to hoping you feel better soon.

You could have hung with me if you had just taken some Tums and Pepto, you bastard!!
