Weekend Fun: Blowin’ shit up for freedom

It’s that time of year again, folks, a time we’ve yet to experience with our own little Web site, but that time nonetheless.
People purchase the beer and meat and fireworks and have themselves a little party, all in the name of God-fearing, country-loving, bin Laden-bombing freedom. Google, of course, will do their part for their country by creating a little variant of their symbol with some sort of firework/flag sort of thing. Exciting.
With all this U.S. love going around, it might be a little tough to get into the most foreign of games (soccer), but we’ll be all over it. R and I will actually be rooting on our one-time colonial oppressors this weekend as they take on Portugal. That’s not all though - Brazil will take on France Saturday as well. All these colonial powers, fighting over their last hope for modern supremacy - a World Cup title. Suckers.
Sunday? Um…Sunday. Let’s see. Sunday might be a good day to be away from the tellie, as Wimbledon and the Tour de France and seem to be the only things around. Where are all the American sports? It’s our birthday, damnit! I can listen to Toby Keith only so long before I need some television! Actually, baseball’s around, but I hate my baseball team and can’t watch them. So that’s that.
With that, we leave you. Big Fourth of July weekends planned for these Postmen, including this one’s beleaguered travels from Indiana to Kentucky to Indiana to Illinois to Iowa. That’s plains-hopping, as I like to call it.
Enjoy your long weekends. We’ll be back Wednesday.
Update, because I just couldn’t resist: Remember what I said about Google? It’s up! It’s not a holiday without Google’s little logo variations. Now it’s official. Happy 4th, everyone.

Weak week for the postmen compared to last week. Step your game up …
I’m confused
I mean, we made it on Deadspin. That’s always a good week, mate.
Wimbledon always takes the middle Sunday off, you crazy bloggers.
Sam-
I promise to try harder for you next week. After a weekend full of loving freedom to the fullest, it’s only proper.
Not gonna lie - haven’t seen a minute of Wimbledon yet. I actually like to watch tennis when it’s on; I’m just way to lazy to seek it out. So yeah, no tennis Sunday, because of some crazy unpatriotic British rule about some second Sunday off in some crazy tennis tournament on grass. Fuck that. Now I’m going to watch NASCAR. America, fuck yeah!
Also, Sam…I’ll make sure R does better next week.
(Kidding, R. That’s what you get for trading me.)
Fuck yeah!
what made deadspin?
You know I love the postmen and I’ll be back next week. Y’all just did a good job during the previous week. But this most recent week’s psts bored me a little.
Anyway, back to loving freedom, watching NASCAR, beating my wife and blowing my kids fingers off with fireworks.
