4TH OF JULY PLANS

CloseBeing Canadian, I just celebrated the 1st of July with beers and a movie.
So I'm doing the same thing tonight. Any excuse to have beer is a good thing. (implying that's not how I would have spent my saturday evening anyways)

Knowing my luck, I'm going to get shot by a stray firework. Or at least have one crash my window.
In my state, firework purchase and use has just been made legal. Of course, that didn't stop people from doing it before, but now that it's official... I don't think I'll be getting any sleep tonight.
I have no personal plans for today, so I'm just gonna study for my final exam this Tuesday. Because what's more American than staying indoors, munching on Cheetos, and avoiding contact with other humans, am I right or am I right?

Red, man, keep yourself safe at least in your thoughts : D
Good luck getting sleep, tho. Fireworks can be pretty annoying for that.

Ain't that the truth. Except replace Cheetos with Marmite on Toast and a cup of tea and you've got the New Zealand equivalent.

The biggest problem I'm anticipating is cleaning up spent fireworks from my yard. I've already had to throw out about four from early celebrations last night.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, I also forgot Twinkies and Dr. Pepper. Whoops.
I had to look up Marmite, and wow that looks pretty good. I want some.

For the past few years I've gone out to watch the fireworks from my old school (because you can see literally everything when there's nothing but farmlands between you and the next few cities over), but it's really just the same old shit every year, so I think I'll just stay in and do nothing.
Happy Birthday, America. Kiss my ass, England; you should've fought harder.

I can understand the majority of the non US people being all like "Why the fuck would I be doing anything on the 4th of July?" I cannot understand why ANYONE US or otherwise would be like "It's Saturday so I'm doing the wash?" It's SATURDAY! This is the time where you go out and force your awkwardness on people at bars, clubs, game stores, nerd hangouts, and game tournaments video or otherwise. NOW GO MAKE ME PROUD AND MAKE THE WORLD FEEL AWKWARD!
All joking aside though here in the US it will be hard to sleep and people likely won't say much anything at all. They will swill beer and blow shit up. Also Sated I believe one of the fireworks show organizers out here is English. Makes me laugh every time. An Englishman helping celebrate a successful rebellion. It's like WWI all over where the soldiers celebrated Christmas even with the enemy. A mindset you won't find in a modern American typically.

For those who don't know, 4th of July is the American Independence Day, the day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress.
Wikipedia's pretty useful.
I know all about American holidays, thanks to TV. Because for whatever reason, Americans like to celebrate their holidays by buying a car, judging by their commercials near their holidays. Celebrating your presidents? Buy a car! Honoring your veterans? Buy a car! American independence? Buy a car! Giving thanks? Buy a

I had a hotdog, drinking a rye and 7up (an American drink!), and watched the Spongebob Squarepants movie. It cranked up the weird during the scene where Spongebob and Patrick rode David Hasselhoff back to Bikini Bottom.

Marmite is the low-taste version of Vegemite. Just like Promite (which I favour because I prefer sweetness in my ale-spread).

Wasn't Vegemite was what Cobra Commander used in the GI Joe movie to terrorize the world? I've heard of Promite but never had any. I should invest in some this fall.

You're in the US, right Red? The Marmite you'll be able to buy is the British version (the stuff I grew up on) in the bulb shaped bottle the stuff Cash is talking about is the NZ version made by sanitarium which tastes different. It's sweeter and not as salty as the original. I would say when you try it, a little goes a long way.
Once you've done that you can try Bovril. xD
