I love the more obscure facts about the Revolution...Did you know there were more than 13 colonies? In North America there was East and West Florida and North and South Novia Scotia, Sam Adams was looking for a revolution to escape his debts. George Washington was an Anglophile and Ben Franklin may have been a spy for the British. Whether he was or not, many historians agree he would've come out of the war, equally as well, if the British had won. But...you don't really wanna know any of that.
I may be getting too old, but I have an idea of what you want -- You wanna buy something...Preferably, something you don't need. Something that says something about you. You'd say it yourself but it's better 'things' do the talking for you. Me? I have six wallets and I'd sure like another one. These tasty beauties are at Brooks Brothers under the Black Fleece label. You're sure to get some attention whipping one of these bad boys open in Freemans Restaurant. They say Benedict Arnold turned coat because Congress screwed him over on his expense account but no one gives a toss about that. Happy Independence Day...Go buy something.
Tintin, My goodness these are dreadful. I'll stay with Launer.
ReplyDeleteIf you get tired of them you can always resell it to someone in Costa Rica, Croatia, France, Netherlands, Paraguay, Serbia or Thailand.
ReplyDeleteSave them for July 14th.
ReplyDeleteAlso great for the nationalistic minded German. If you had left out the wallets it would have become an interesting post.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're taking a page from GWB's playbook and telling us to celebrate our independence by buying something. Hooray! Keep 'em rolling.
