    Happy 4th of July

    Well, its a long weekend and I am sure that some of you will be travelling. Just remember to be safe and enjoy yourselves.

    As for those that are grillin some Cows, don't forget to take a moment and think about our DPC friends and how they are still below us in the FaD ranks.

    Eat, drink, drink, drink and be merry people.

    Out of curiosity Bok - by "coding" were you referring to Free-DC stats mods and tweaks, or do you have other projects on the go?

    Happy 4th of July in advance to everybody that celebrates it.

    Happy 4th of July everyone. Be sure to throw a shrimp on the barbie next to my steak! It's amazing how quickly cows head for greener pastures.

    Other than the obvious smart-aleck answer that every country has a 4th of July ON the 4th of July, let's hear about some other holidays unique to countries.

    For instance, my mother tells me that France's Independence Day comes just 10 days after ours, which means my French relatives will be having their own celebration soon. It remains to be seen whether or not any pyrotechnics are involved.

    Historicly speaking, wouldn't French Indipendence day would be the day France is liberated from being occupied by an attacking country. I seem to recall France has surrendered every major war. So the French Indipendence day "is the day someone saved our butts."

    I sympathize with all the above, but esp. the bit about the cat!
    Happy fourth, everybody!
