DS, thanks for the fireworks!! Pretty cool, and quite realistic sounding.

Here's a picture of me and my youngest daughter, in the 4th of July parade this afternoon.

Hot, hot, hot . . . but we had a good time, nonetheless.

I know I'm a day late, but hope everyone had a great and safe 4th.:teeth_smile:

Sorry im late as well but, Happy Birthday USA, and hope you all had a great time.

Heh heh, sice Monday, we have recieved a total of about 22 inches of glorious rains and much cooler temperatures. However, the sun is out in full force today making up for lost ground.

For Jim & Sue:

Well, that Japanese Gentleman is no longer the Dog-eating champion -losing to an American. Whatever his name is--that guy packed away I think 65 1/2 hotdogs (with buns) in 12 minutes I think that was he downed one every 10 1/2 seconds. He beat his old record of 59 hotdogs.

Dang, if I was hungry enough, the most I could eat is maybe 4 plain hotdogs.

Yeah, we heard about it on the news last night. It turns out the champ is from San Jose, CA, which is only about 20 miles away! Here's a link to the local SJ paper, for a pretty good article.

And here's a YouTube clip with the last few minutes of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating competition, which was broadcast on, of all places, ESPN. Some of the commentary is kind of funny. For those who are easily grossed out, this clip is NOT for the faint of heart (or stomach). You have been warned.

And just to show you how much this is an issue of national pride . . . here's is someone's creative tribute to the new world Champ, who brought the Mustard Belt back to the US. This will NOT gross anyone out .

I'm late,
But I also want to wish
Happy 4th of July to all American friends!

Dusting off this thread in anticipation of the holiday, one week from today . . .

. . . and here's a little challenge for our American members (an Independence Day quiz, with questions from the citizenship exam).

Sad to say, I scored a 19. I need a refresher. Anyone else wanna try?

First I want to say that it says on the site, Our quiz is made up of 20 questions found on the actual citizenship test with a few curveballs in the mix. The ones I considered curveballs (and which I am CERTAIN are not on any citizenship exam) were near the end, and were among the five I got wrong. But a couple of the ones I got wrong are certainly on such an exam.

Mrs. C

BTW, July 4th is also smokey's birthday!!!

My wife just took it and she scored a 20. Darn, I hate being showed up.
