4th of July, a day to celebrate our freedom to wear really ugly shirts.

Really though, I don't think I've ever seen so many hideous shirts in one day before, and only half of them were patriotic. I mean, I'll allow the guy with the Mount Rushmore polo shirt to pull that one out today, that makes a little sense I suppose, but I draw the line when it comes to just plain ugly Hawaiian shirts. I think the men that wear those are hoping no one will notice that their shirt isn't patriotic. Like people will see it and go, "Ahh, ugly shirt!" and look away before they realize the ugliness isn't even celebrating our country.

On a semi-related note, my brother claimed his dream patriotic shirt would have a snarling ferocious grizzly that had a gun in one hand and something I can't remember at the moment (it was manly and patriotic though, I remember that much) and the shirt would be covered in red white and blue and the bear would be saying "These colors never run" and then on its shoulder would be an eagle "holding a snake, or quite possibly a trout."

We do own our own horrendous yet patriotic shirt at our house, I think my dad got it for the bicentennial or something like that. It's a short sleeve button up that's covered with different versions of our nations flag, and maybe if I remember I'll post a picture of it so you can get the idea of how truly ugly it is.

Well, happy independence day! And for the record, no matter how happy that smiley faced firework looked, I'm not buying having your face blown up is a pleasurable experience.
