Happy Evacuation Day, One and All
One of the benefits of working for the City of Boston is getting a couple of random holidays that most people do not celebrate. Today is one such holiday. Evacuation Day commemorates the day the British military evacuated American cities in the American Revolutionary War. According to wikipedia, Evacuation Day occurred in March of 1776, and Boston celebrates it on St. Patrick’s Day… probably as an excuse to get drunk. Wikipedia’s comment, “Celebrations are notoriously spirited.” Cute. Me? I like having the extra day off. We also get Bunker Hill Day in June.
I’m basically writing because I haven’t posted here in a very long time. Sorry about that. Been pretty busy. I will try to do better.
Happy Evacuation Day!
Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist
And in case you doubt the song, check out my new favorite entry from Overheard In New York:
Black lady: Listen, you camel jockey, I don’t care what you say, you was wrong to do that!
Middle Eastern man: Oh, shut up, you stupid nigga! I’m tired of hearing your shit! Go fuck yourself!
Black woman passerby: Oh my god, who the hell are you to be talking to my beautiful black sister like that?! You ain’t got no right to talk to anybody black like that!
Black lady: Bitch, who the shit are you? Don’t be talkin’ to my husband like that!–W 4th St station

I miss things like this! I thought it was funny enough that dude claimed there were no homos in Iran, but man, I wish I’d been the one to write this little ditty.
