So My Friend's 4th Of July Cupcakes Turned Out A Little... French
Unacceptable! Bring them all over to my house this instant and I will dispose of the problem for you. No charge, of course, since it's my duty as a patriotic American.
It's not Cupcakes ! It's Ice cream, but It's a really good idea for us who living in Sint Maarten / Saint Martin Island, a half Dutch and half French Island in the Caribbean.
You can pour the batter into cones and bake them that way

Load More Replies...I think I must be the only person left in this country who thinks it's disrespectful to wear the flag on your feet. I'm not even a rightie....I'm just old. *shakes cane*
You are right. It technically shouldn't be worn on any part of the body. But it's just so fun!

I feel obligated to point out this, people living in Hawaii, ARE AMERICAN THEMSELVES. So, are you saying they hate every1 on the island?

Roller derby is a most honourable way of getting bruises, you deserve a 4th of July toast to your health!
Kind of confused what the bruises and roller derby have to do with the 4th of July...is it because there are stars on the dress?
Not All In Picture But A $1,500 Stash
I guess I just don't get the hole blowing s**t up thing. But spending $1,500 to do it is crazy to me. Hope the kid in the pic is not the one lighting s**t up.
EVERYONE calm down! The cost is probably split by everyone and they probably have their own land they shoot the fireworks from. It is not a crime and I am sure it is something they all look forward to all year long!
Bit of overkill. Terrorizes all creatures and keeps your neighbors awake. Inconsiderate.

OK... you know, from France this looks kind of weird. Anyway, have fun guys XD!
Imagine if instead each American spent this much time and thought on actually fixing their broken political system, healthcare system, education system, foreign policy, gun laws, the military industrial complex, etc... what a world it could be
I think it is fair to say that those who get this carried away fall into 3 camps. 1.Trump supporters. 2.Gun owners. 3.BOTH :)
not to dump on people having fun... but these women and their nails.... eeeesh. i will never really understand why some women decorate their nails in such elaborate ways. It's all just fun free expression i guess, knock yourselves out ladies.
