The "love, hate, dumb idea" thread for all the USA 250-themed stuff

Those are not unimpressive pictures!!

When I was young, my grandparents owned a farm on top of a ridge. Pease AFB was still a thing back in the 80’s, and one of their training routes brought them right up over that ridge line, low over the trees, over my grandparent’s farm.

When you see a B-52 that looks like it’s gonna scrape it’s belly on the trees, and when you wave to them as a little kid and they clearly see you because they dip their wings to say, Hi… it’s an impression that is unshakable for the entirety of your life. Wish I had pics.

Nana and Papa’s dog Shadow used to get pissed and try to chase ‘em… I miss that dog.

Sesame Street has ruined the English language. I blame the Cookie Monster for the use of cookies rather than biscuits.

You already have Megan full time don’t be greedy.

American football feet are mainly used for walking on and off the field as they change the entire team every 10 minutes. The feet are also used to stand around and wait for the advertisement break to finish.

The only players to put their feet on the ball are all the awesome Australian punters you have imported, to pay outrageous amounts of money to, for a couple of minutes play each game.

I get more outfit inspiration from Kate, as I’m her size.

on a different note, I have a pair of red white and blue run shorts that I didn’t put on today but may do so just to have observed the holiday. I did not buy them because of the color, that was what was available.

I would NOT hate it if someone had recreated this for 250 (NON AI, of course)

Colour !!!

Enjoy your run.

Dont get me started on “y’all”…

while not a huge fan of y’all, “all y’all” is a very nice phrase in a very specific way - “f*** all y’all” is sometimes a very useful sentence.

I suppose we’ll have to substitute “innit?”

the Lindt fourth truffles, in RWB wrappers, were on half price sale today. I didn’t buy any, but half price candy IS a perk of post-holiday!

I had this when they had it years ago and it is good.

I can’t get that brand in ME, which is ok… we have great ice cream here. The new lava cake flavor they have looks good though.

I first read that as “I can’t get that brand inside of me…” as in zero tolerance. Then I had the ah ha moment.
