And yet you Yanks can't get enough of our accents.

What is the reference about?

I believe they call it something different over there, but the 04/07 is when the colonials celebrate "Good Riddance" day.

And rightly so! As a brit myself I often ask who could wander through the hills of Somerset and ever go back?

[Angel Midnight]

Fine, you get an extra holiday. At least we don't microwave our tea.

Yeah.

On the page where McHenry records the events of the last day of the convention, September 18, 1787, he wrote: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy – A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.”

Much like a fish may not realize they are in water, I've been swimming in this republic sea for all of my life. Our constitution is a rare thing in this world, specifically giving the federal government only the powers it enumerates, stating a wide swath of things which it is forbidden, and leaving the rest to the states. Since its formation, a great number of politicians have nibbled around the edges like ducks, but it remains (for the most part) a structure the Founding Fathers would recognize as theirs, and not the impersonal foreign regime they rose up against. Thankfully.

Now, bring on the hot dogs and fireworks!

It's just a tradition for me to do some dumb July 4th meme every year.

You celebrate Roman candles, pies and guns?

[DrSkroob]

Cute. I'll enjoy our Bank Holidays, and about 25 days of paid holiday.

Well, at least one third of that. :)

[Magi Tail Welkin]

Will do.

You do?

Okay, I now respect you a lot more. As for the rest of the tea-microwaving monsters? Well...

They took independence and said they could survive on their own, and look what happened... They chose to microwave their tea, and only now are they re-learning to boil the water before adding the tea bag or leaves. *sigh*
