Happy Birthday (or whatever) America!
It’s the 4th of July, the day of our nation’s birth. Happy birthday, nation! To celebrate I shall go kegging and watch people cook flesh over fire. This is what George Washington always wanted. People in America, cooking flesh and being free while drinking beer. Freedom tastes good. It tastes like steak. I don’t remember what steak tastes like, but I do know what freedom tastes like.
Speaking of which, I just accidentally ate a piece of ham. There were “samples” at this coffeeshop and I was like sweet! Samples! Then I popped one in my mouth and it turns out it was a bit o’ croissant with a bit o’ ham. Ham is very salty. And chewy. But I felt too weird spitting it out so I just swallowed it and dealt with it. So there you go. It’s been probably 16 years since I’ve had ham. I can’t say if I liked it or not. It was too foreign for me to make a decision on it. I think I liked ham when I was little. But I wasn’t really a picky eater either. I think when you grow up in a Korean family, you really can’t be that picky. I mean there’s like barely pickled/raw squid and roe still in the egg sac/membrane, it’s like if you can eat that at eight, you eat whatever. And even if you were picky, your parents would bitch and moan so much that you eat it just to shut them up. Seriously.
Anyway happy Independence Day. Everyone go exercise their independence! Celebrate! Be free! Destroy the beer with your bellies!
I like my meats real but a grilled Boca burger isn’t bad - covered in condiments.
My iPod picked out, “Boom Shake The Room” by Will Smith today. Rather fitting.
Happy 4th or whatevah (ebonic freedom) to you Annie! Colbert would be proud of your post today!
Happy birthday, US of the A. I’ll be expecting a patriotic post about Portugal next June 10th.
I celebrated by watching the Red Sox stomp on the Yankees (I’m from Boston, sorry NY fans, don’t kill me please!)
Happy Independence Day!
USA is a melting pot. I Destroyed @ 4 HB America partees yesterday. Started @ 10 am with fried chicken + waffles, then sushi snacks at 1pm, tacos at 4 then finish at 8 pm with brisket on biskets smothered with radish of horse! Our forefathers would be proud, i think they liked beer and fireworks too.
I didn’t destroy any beer yesterday, but I do plan to destroy at least a little bit today. I do remember the first time I had ham. Interestingly enough it was at Aaron’s birthday dinner last year. I know you know… always a challenge to be a vegetarian or a near vegetarian at a German restaurant. Even more interesting, of all the things I tried, I liked the sausage better than the ham. I don’t even want to know what that says about me.
You consumed ham! I can’t believe it! I have to tell Lorraine, even though it was on accident. She’ll get a kick out that! No beers here…just some good ole’ tap water and lemonade for the 4th. I did have a little piece of steak. Gotta have my protein
Oh Annie sorry about the pork… Girl I would have spit it out.
Debora: Ironically I saw Hancock over the weekend (I was forced to) and I think I had too much wine after wine and the movie put me to sleep OR it could jsut be that the movie put me to sleep. Hard to say. Will Smith is pretty charming when he wants to be though.
Ramon: He would be!!! He’s America’s biggest fan.
Renato: OK just remind me about Portugal’s birthday, I’m really bad with birthdays.
Ms. Biz: I am a BoSox fan too (used to live down the street from Fenway, how could you not be a fan).
Jon: Dude you destroyed America with your belly. Impressive.
Erin: Hahaha I remember when you tried beef for the first time at churrascaria that was hilarious. I was impressed and I remember asking DUDE WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE? WHAT’S IT LIKE? I was all curious. And disgusted by all the meat that was there it was intense, man.
Patrice: Dude, I KNOW, right?????? I almost died! I’m sorry about your stolen phone that REALLY sucks. Getting something stolen from an AIRPORT is really crappy and I’m surprised that bastard did it considering all the security cameras everywhere.
Lorraine: I know, I know it was at the shop and ther ewas no napkin and I was just like standing there with this stupid look on my face. I was like fine, fine, chew chew chew.
