Laurence Brown of Lost in the Pond never learned about the Fourth of July, nor the American Revolution, in his history classes because he was raised in Britain, and they don't spend a lot of class time on wars they lost. When he moved to the US to marry an American, he got a crash course in celebrating Independence Day from his in-laws, who were tickled to have a real Brit to kick around for the occasion. But Brown gets the last laugh, because he's an American citizen now, despite the accent. But he's still going to be careful what he says around Chainsaw Jim.

You drink 16 beers and what America gets,
another year older and deeper in debt.
Valhalla don't call me 'cause I can't go.
I owe my soul to the SCOTUS's goals.
Remember, the winner gets the day off, the loser has to go to work...
The day off? Speak for yourself.
"We invaded you in the 1960s and you lapped up our music like ice cream." All that "British Invasion" music of the 1960s, was, of course, recycled American music. We totally won.
