say it loud, say it proud.

about 4 years ago, i took a couple of my friends to a cowboys game up in dallas. it wasn't long after 9/11 so there were all sorts of "i'm proud to be an american" shinanigans going on. just after the halftime show (which was bursting with patriotism) a large, extremely drunk, middle aged man with a painted face stands up and with a thick texas accent screams "GO 'MERICA!!"

no a. just 'merica. it was beautiful.

and so i ask you to do yourself a favor and tonight, when watching the fireworks (or getting your freak on), take the time to say it loud and proud "go 'merica!" don't forget the drunken texas accent though. that's the clincher.
