Saturday Night Open Thread – The No More Fireworks Dammit Edition

I love the 4th of July. I specially have loved spending the 4th outside the USA. I remember vividly spending one 4th in Rome while traveling and hearing about a fireworks display being put on by an ex-pat club in the city.

We went (I was in a group with Americans and young folk of other nationalities) and it was wonderful. I felt the best part of being an American. Good Americans are the best people in the world. Even though we are bombarded with negative news on a daily basis and we are constantly told our country is in shambles, the cold hard truth is that this country is better than pretty much every single other country in the world.

I was born in México. I know. There is a reason immigrants try to get IN to the USA, not out.

However, we need to stop with the unnecessary hype. I cannot stand professional sports leagues wrapping themselves in the flag to buy good PR. Our servicemen and servicewomen are not props for photo ops.

The old adage is that the guy constantly talking about the size of his dick is the guy with the smallest cock. Let’s not have the whole world think we are packing Lil’ Smokies.

The idiots around Southern California (ironically, many Mexicans that aren’t even citizens and just like to blow shit up) started firing up the fireworks last night. It’s three full fucking days before the 4th and it’s already started.

I’m all for freedom and shit but we really should restrict the firing of fireworks to the professionals. Or at least there should be a license issued to anyone that wants to fire off fireworks.

I hope no wildfires are started because of these idiots. The weather has turned for the better and we don’t need the fucking smoke and shit like you Canadiens and East Coasters have experienced.

In other news, I am playing golf tomorrow at 6:27 in the morning. Wish me luck!

Liga MX starts the Apertura season today with three games. Unfortunately, they are on something called Vix+ here in the States and that’s a pay channel I don’t have so fuck that shit.

The Gold Cup continues on TUDN with Cuba taking on Guadeloupe (The Flying Death in Paradises) and then Guatemala taking on Canadá.

I’m in the middle of a four day weekend as I decided to take Monday off. I encouraged everyone that works for me to take it off too. I mean, what’s the point of coming in for just one day?

One guy told me he didn’t have any vacation time left and I started coughing. He laughed and said, “what kind of boss tells you this?”

I told him, “The best one, fucker. Don’t be here Monday.”

Speaking of, there are rumblings in the back office of a DFOCon in Vegas this November. The preliminary details are first weekend in November, staying in Downtown, and good times to be had.

As things develop, we will broadcast more details. If you’ve ever wanted to meet your heroes (God, that’s a bad idea!), pop in and say hi!

Enjoy your Saturday night!
