We Kicked Your Butt

And they don't care! I went to a party in South London for the 4th of July. The theme was "Americana" though there wasn't really anything Americana about it, except the two token Americans (me and one of the guys who lived at the house). I expected people to poke fun of us Americans--beer bellies, flannel, guns, etc. Nope, there were cups that looked more like a Puerto Rican flag than the US flag. Perhaps I just had high expectations. But I guess that's the way history is told from the loser's perspective. Oh well. In fairness they did have a lot of American liquors like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels; oh and Everclear--VT's drink of choice!

Sorry for the lack of thoughtful posts. I am actually back in the US, but my computer power cord started sparking and electrocuted me while I was in London. So now it doesn't work and I am borrowing a computer to complete other observations I had during my vacation.
