LYRICS
Fourth of July, a Fifth of Patron
Celebrating it with all the girls that we know
Yeah, today is the day they put paper to quill
and said the government can't be all up in your grill

Kielbasa and hot dogs, brats, a sauerkraut box
It's like we're living in Anthony Weiner's outbox
Billy's pouring drinks, yeah it's gonna be monstrous
Gary's swimming with his shirt on (I'm self-conscious)

Super Soaker fights, but nobody is getting me
Fleeing from that water like my name was Ted Kennedy
It's the land of the free, we put paper to quill

Wow. That got 80,000+ views in a day? Does this get cross posted somewhere or are there that many hits here?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Would it be impressive if it got that many views in a year rather than a day?

[mashed potatoes]

No, not as much. I'm just taking it to mean that when they post something like this, there are more people paying attention than I thought. Which is good!

[Fist of Etiquette]

It is good, however this was made for Independence Day 2013. This is a seasonal repost here at reason.

[mashed potatoes]

Ooooohhh. Shit. I was wondering what I was missing about your previous comment. Well that just means there are opportunities abound!!

[Almanian!]

Wow, for a person named Remy.....

Happy "We Forgot What This Was All About" Day, Reasonoids!

[EDG reppin' LBC]

Happy Independence Day Reasonoids!

Fuck Authority!

Grills are an essential part of any 4th of July party. I often use the best gas grills 'cause I think that they are the best. There is also a Useful reference about them. All the pros and cons and how to use them correctly. With their help, my party was a total success.
