A long long time ago, this land that we now call America was discovered, and every year around this time we commemorate it's discovery. While it's certainly not a major holiday, it's still a state recognized one, and a little part of me believes that we should be celebrating it more, as it represents a pivotal moment in history, whether you live in the Americas or not.
Thus, may I present, Leif Erikson Day 2009!
What, did you think I was talking about Columbus or some gay ass bullshit?
Today is Leif Erikson Day, a day we use to honor the first documented European discovery of the Americas. Leif Erikson was a badass viking motherfucker, and one day he and his crew of badass viking motherfuckers decided hey, let's just sail forever, and find the end of the world or something crazy like that. And they got America instead, where they established a colony, which failed, murdered a fuckton of brown people, and fucked some native americans, which is where the Mandan came from. All around, the mission was a failure, but we still think it's pretty fucking cool, so we have Leif Erikson day.
So how are you going to celebrate this historic day, fine people of Social Entropy Doubleplus? Personally I'm going to go out and buy a bottle of mead, slosh it into a wineskin, and try to share the word of Leif Erikson as much as I can.

Hell yes I do
See, but rape/destruction/rampant murder is cool when a Viking does it. When a Spaniard does it it's just a dick move.
You're not a real country until some white people have wrecked your shit.
True.
And when a Brit does it, he's just southron scum.

So the people of CIa {I think that is how it's spelled} said fuck this place and went back?
Are you fucking retarded or something?
Do you not understand what continent you are on?
yes we are in north america
not america
north america
If we're getting technical, we're the United States.
If we're not getting technical, let's just pop a cap in this busters ass and be done with it.
case closed
im just callin em as i see em guys
Because we're from America? The United States of America, at that, which doesn't really have any other good names available for it.
It's a pretty dumb name for us, but I didn't choose that.
Personally, if I use the word America, I'm referring to one of the continents (generally North, but that's just because I hate the Spanish)
I'd refer to the US if I wanted to talk about the USA
Because United Statesians sounds dumb.
