In pittsbugh it's all about puking. Never seen that many people toss chunks anywhere else like that.

Why do atheists celebrate Christmas? Hypocrites want the best of both worlds I suppose.

Hulk Hogan didn't cross the Delaware and become the first president of the USA so we wouldn't be allot to completely misrepresent the meaning of our own holidays but for those around the world.

Londinium was the name of the settlement, as it was called by the aristocracy. The "sermo vulgare" spoke by Roman plebes who lived there had by AD 400 become an early form of Italian, hence "Londinio".

Isn’t it about an exterminator named Patrick who killed all of the rats and mole who were eating the potatoes?

I bet you're fun at parties. Who cares...Christmas isn't about presents, cinco de mayo isn't about tequila shots, and mardibgras isn't about chugging down a 180 octane on the route, these are excuses to have a communal good time. fricking chill and enjoy yourself

What’s your thoughts on kwanza? Talk about something useless and certain people not knowing a thing about it.

“And Memorial Day is not about celebrating our deceased military and AF members who died while serving....wait“

The color green has no association with St. Patrick. His color is blue.
