Weekend Fun: Blowin’ shit up for freedom

June 30th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanE

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.
