to all;

[righteously]

Alright everybody, shut up for a minute and listen. Put down your wands, your swords, and your dirty parchment magazines.

We might be in Abraxas, but tonight you're all honorary Americans. It's the Fourth of Freakin' July somewhere, and I'll be damned if we don't eat hot dogs and blow some crap up the way the good lord intended.

Today's all about freedom, beer, and Bruce Springsteen.

Our party queen her majesty Madam Julie's hosting a shindig in the Horizon. We're covering all the greatest hits. Booze, swimming pools, the Meat Man running the grill, and

of course

Big ass illegal fireworks at the end. Be there or get your tea dumped into the harbor. No taxation without representation.



Oh, by the way, unrelated question
Any of you inventor-types got a minute to cobble me together a tattoo gun? It's important.

God bless America.

Comments

[carmesi]

What is "America"?

[she. is joking, of course.]

[righteously]

It's a country made up of pissed off rednecks, overpriced gas, and big ass guns.

But hey, at least it ain't Canada.

[carmesi]

I've heard of Canada.
So, what places should I see if I ever go to America?

[righteously]

Hold up
You're telling me you've heard of Canada, but not America?
I call bullshit
Canada's just America's hat

[carmesi]

[dean we had a good thing going here]

I was joking. Of course I know America.
My country was bombed and thrown into war by the USA.

[and now it's all awkward]

I like your sitcoms very much.

[righteously]

Yeah, that sounds like America
Sorry to hear it

But we got one thing in common: I friggin love sitcoms

[carmesi]

Thank you.
Do you have any favorites? It's the Dyck Van Dyke Show for me.

[righteously]

Dick Van Dyke's a classic

Man, that's a hard one

The Addam's family is creepy and kooky
You gotta have Married with Children
The Jeffersons

I could go on

( We don't talk about Dr. Sexy, MD )

[carmesi]

I don't think I saw those.
But I have the Addam's Family song in my head now, strangely enough.

[righteously]

You're missing out, sister. Trust me.

Alright, how bout this
Andy Griffith Show?

[carmesi]

A few episodes only.
My brother found it a bit boring, so we wouldn't see it much.

When I moved to America, I saw a lot of the newer ones.
And a lot of other sitcoms my father couldn't get tapes for.

It's unfortunate that we can't replicate any of those things here.
