People can tell you're an American because ... Later

I tell them I believe a football has pointed ends. Later

I take vacations instead of holidays.

... I often speak en Spanglish!

...I refer to today as Independence Day, rather than the Fourth of July. (maybe that just makes me obnoxious.)

I fly a flag every day

I'm a flag-flyer too, when the wind ain't blowin' it down.

"Yippee-ki-yay, mother$!&@%*," I then expound on why baseball is the greatest game ever invented by man.

My daughter said, "Wearing a fanny pack". Later

It's pretty self-evident -

I think we've had this thread before anyway.. 4th of July observed, 3 day weekend. Hell, make it the Saturday and still give us the three day weekend. Opening Day. Obviously. Last Monday in March (or first in April but I believe we're starting the season earlier going forward right?) Halloween is the last Saturday in October. Friday after Thanksgiving is a holiday too. I know these would only be 'federal' holidays but in my mind all retail employees, even seasonal, would have to get holiday pay. we're kicking back Columbus day.

I'm grossly overweight, drive a huge gas-guzzler, and have an insane loyalty to the supposedly amateur football team comprised of "students" of a college that I didn't go to. Disclaimer: I'm actually none of the above but if I were going to show my red, white, and blue stripes, what better way?

Fess up, Lefty, you filthy closet Luxembourger.

Lefty Specialist Jul 06 2017 12:55 AM Re: Fourth of July Question

Busted. But guess what, they have a Fourth of July in Luxembourg too! (Not to mention better burgers)
