    Happy Independance Day

    As the title states, it's now July 4th, 12:05 AM to be exact, and I'm up so I figured I'd start this now. So what's everyone gonna be doing to celebrate this year?

    Now that I think about it, Americans seem to be a minority on this board. Ah well...

    The same as I do every other year on the 4th: absolutely nothing. It's just another day, only now my TV schedule's interrupted.
    I think I may have been here before... a long, long time ago... 599699 Unread Posts, you say?

    Ah, I found my old avatar. The hypnotic evil duck.
    It was 2002. Duck avatars were the style at the time.
    Long and fascinating story there. I'd tell you if I remembered it.

    That's a yes and no.
    Yes, the United States of America came into being on the 4th of July 1776.
    But the United States acted more like 13 different countries until 1789 when the federal government was established and George Washington was elected as the first president.

    [add]
    oh yeah...i forgot to mention y i say yes and no
    America became a country in 1776, but the current US government was founded in 1789.
