Lawn Chair Lusers

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

Dang! I'm currently letting my cat in once every hour right now--seems that people are setting off firecrackers tonight and waiting for tomorrow for the "good" ones. Seems to me that they could celebrate by finding some Native American friends and moving their stuff into their houses, but that's just me.

Step 1: Buy lawn chair in whatever cover is available

Step 2: Buy two (or possible three) inexpensive American flags

Step 3: Tie, or other otherwise affix flags to chair.

Problem solved.

Chromatix, it's the 6th Dec. </patriotic nitpick>

I've had my share of people wanting sold-out merch. It's amazing how they really don't get that it's not us that decide the flyer or ad and if we get enough stuff in or not.

I think it is strange the sheer variety of paraphinalia that is decorated with national flags.

"I'm so patriotic I want to sit my fat arse on the Stars and Stripes while I consume large quantities of beer and barbequed meat. And if that beer makes me break wind, then I'm going to fart on our nation's emblem - that's how patriotic I am."

"I'm so patriotic, I wear Union Jack underpants. It makes me feel patriotic to have my wedding takle enclosed by our national flag. In fact if I pee, and tuck my willy back into my red, white and blue pants, and a little drop of pee happens to drip onto my Union Jack pants, that shows how much I love Queen and Country."



EDIT: just to make it clear, I'm not dissing patriotism or displaying flags. Just poking fun at unusual things with flags on them.

One of my personal favorite SNL sketches.

I was just gonna say that but Irv beat me to it. That was one of the all time best sketches I've ever seen.

For the record they did a 2nd skit,much like that one. If I remember correctly the daughter had a friend over to dinner with them.

I bought my patriotic lawn furniture when it first appeared in the stores around Easter time (or a bit later than that)

No slight to you, but I've always wondered what, exactly, was patriotic about dropping one's ass onto a representation of the flag.. seems quite the opposite to me, but I'm the kinda guy who'll go buy someone a new flag and show them how to hang it properly when I see a ratty one hung in a window.

When she was in college, my sister spent one summer travelling through Europe. She happened to be in England on the 4th of July....there were no big celebrations over there.

My roommate somehow got to chatting with some guy in England a week or so ago. Yesterday she sent him an email thanking them for losing the war.

Sounds like paradise to me. No big parties, no masses of mindless consumers ruining my store, no fireworks to scare my cat, yes, what a relief.

The "big party" I went to was all of 8 people. It was quite nice.

I dont know. I just tend to collect anything that's red, white and blue. (you should see the ornaments on my christmas tree). Yes, I do realize that there is a flag etiquette that people should follow, but I love anything that's got an American theme to it.

I crochet and knit a lot, and red, white, and blue are the colors I tend to be attracted to most often.

I hate people who leave their American flags on the pole for so long that they disintegrate. I have a lot of American flags. I wont ever have to worry about my flag staying out on the pole so long that it crumbles.

I learned the hard way when posting ANYTHING on a message board that is going to be more than a couple paragraphs, to type it out in Notepad (or the like) first and copy/paste. I've written out more than a couple epic posts on various message boards, only to have them eaten by a glitch/hiccup/crash/BSOD, and learned the hard way.

Oh Boy Howdy yes! I like to use my BlogSpot page for that. I'll create the post in their editor because if something crashes on my end, it'll save a draft.

Holy [excrement]! I just checked. I REALLY need to clean out all the draft posts. I've all the ones going back to when I started the gorram thing.

Oh dear gods..I saw a reusable menstual pad on Etsy.com the other day, made of American Flag fabric. Gee, show how patriotic you are by ragging on the flag!

[Treasure]

wow that's disgusting.
