4th of July least favorite holiday
 
1. Hot as hell
2. Neighborhood fireworks are lame
3. Half the time you have to go to work the next day

It's the only work holiday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which spans over 1/4 of the year. Brother, do I need this holiday. I've already put in a 50 hour week and I still have beeper duty tonight.

God Bless America!

Beeper duty? If someone dies you have to update your model for life insurance pricing?

And yet I'm pissed that I ahve to spend another one in Texas when I could already be in Utah. 4th of July in Utah <> Hot as hell. 4th of July in Texas = Hot as hell.

At least it cools down at night there.

I've always wondered why you go to Canada to celebrate US independence. I'll bet you dodged the draft, drink Belgian beer, and think John Wayne was a wimp.

Hey!
I cried when old yeller died
I'm washed in the blood of the lamb
I stand up for the star spangled banner
and you can bet yer ass I'm a John Wayne Fan

Its just on the 4th of July The beach is empty except for us....

I love the 4th because it's finally warm.

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday--I like it better than Christmas.

1. I don't have to buy anyone a gift
2. I don't have to send anyone a card
3. I don't have to make anyone cookies
4. I don't have to get out any decorations
5. I don't have to put any decorations away
6. 4th food (burgers and ice cream) is better than Christmas food (ham and pie)
7. It only lasts one day

You forgot one.

8. You get to blow stuff up, be a pyro, and it's all expected.
