Happy 4th of July!

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.
So put some real American dogs on the grill, have some beers and watch some shit explode in the sky. Another wonderful thing about today…exactly […]

Memorial Day

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 […]

Happy Mother’s Day from John McCain…You C#%T!

Here’s Johnie McNuts sitting next to his decrepit old mom as they banter away about when John was born. John thinks it was on Friday, his Mom says Saturday, but given that it happened during the War of 1812, it’s sometimes difficult to recount such things. “He’s not perfect” Roberta McCain says, but she thinks […]

A Look Back at Queen’s Day in Amsterdam

Yesterday was Queen’s Day in the Netherlands and Amsterdam was totally nuts. My wife and I started the day close to our apartment, in an area called Oost Watergraassmeer, just a little south-east of central Amsterdam. What we saw there was a more traditional part of the Queen’s Day festivities-the area became a giant yard […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I just wanted to take this moment to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick’s Day. May this St. Patty’s bring you the true luck of the Irish-especially on that drive home!
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 […]

Where Not to Go on Valentines Day?…Chain Restaraunts!

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 […]

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

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?
Anyways, in remembrance…
