Happy Independence Day America! I’m sorry I can’t be with you to celebrate, but rest assured that I will be bringing 4th of July to the town of Kalmar, Sweden tonight.

Hope you’ve had a great Memorial Day weekend and managed not to feel the pinch at the pump too much.
Ironically, my memory of Memorial Day actually failed me today because I live in Amsterdam now. I remembered Friday but then forget, until I came on the internet today. Since it’s not a holiday here […]

Here’s Johnie McNuts sitting next to his decrepit old mom as they banter away about when John was born.

What we saw there was a more traditional part of the Queen’s Day festivities-the area became a giant yard […]

This is a picture of the Chicago River in what I presume is either St. Patrick’s Day or a day in which leprechans turned out […]

Valentines Day is almost here and if you haven’t already made a reservation for the busiest eating day out then your options are already drastically limited. If that’s the case, thank goodness for mediocre chain restaurants where you need no reservation for Valentines day! May I recommend Macaroni Grill…
But seriously, can I suggest not going […]

My posts normally have a comedic spin so I need to keep with the theme here. How do whites in South Carolina celebrate this day? Do they fly the confederate flag at their State Capitol building even higher?
