    Quote from Dukesfan

    HAPPY 4th OF JULY to all Americans here in the board! I hope You will enjoy this birthday of Your nation. The Stars and Stripes are waving from the flag pole in front of my house here in Germany like every year, and I am going to celebrate this day with my American Appaloosa horses and maybe some good American movie and country music from CD.

    - I am a little sad today on this July 4th, because I lost one of my best four-legged friends, my tomcat Shir Khan, yesterday. He was such a fine cat and a good friend...



    Many thanks to our friends from across the Atlantic for your greetings!


    I expect we'll have a good day, though due to the 'nature of the beast' (i.e., fireworks), it's not likely to be peaceful! :wink_smile:


    But I think a good time will be had by all!


    Dukesfan, sorry to hear of your loss! We extend our most sincere sympathies!

    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).


    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.

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

    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 :yeaahh: I think that was he downed one every 10 1/2 seconds.:ohmy: He beat his old record of 59 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 :wink_smile:.

    Arthur,


    And let me be the first to thank you for that wish, and to thank all those around the world that can value what freedom that we all still have.
