on this independance day, thank you America for all you have brung to the world!  |
|
 It is over 300 years since North America split from the continent of Europe to form it's own colony. From the very darkest beginnings America has shown itself to be a country of innovation and discovery. It was Louis Armstrong that discovered the moon in 1969.
All this from humble beginnings. In 1541 Christine Columbine discovered America and named it after it's partner, South America.
Soon after, convicts deemed to dangerous to go to Australia were sent to America. From these dark roots came some of the greatest inventers ever.
Benjeman Franklin who invented the kite.
Paul Newman who invented salad dressing.
Hugh Hefner who invented 3 in a bed.
Abraham Lincoln who invented slavery.
Rosie o'donnell who invented comedy
and finally JFK who invented bullit proof limo's.
Thank you America, have a great day!

you are free at last! |

|
|
| alfieklondyke (1048) | 1 year ago | no, Arthur Askey invented humour along with that bloke that stood with half his reflection in a shop window Harry worth. | |

3.  Transdisc (14831) | 1 year ago |  Alfie! I cannot believe that you know so much American history, but I do need to correct you. It was not Louis Armstrong, but Lance Armstrong, who walked on the moon in 1969!
But I do appreciate your fine sentiments of love toward the United States of America. You're all heart, alfie!

| |
|
|
| alfieklondyke (1048) | 1 year ago | i beg to differ, you are getting mixed up with neil armstrong who invented the mountain bicycle.
Lance Armstrong was the trumpet player and pilot for Glen Miller.
James Cagney played Glen Miller in the movie 'the miller crossing'
James cagney was more famous for his talk show 'Cagney and Lacey'.
the talkshow was invented by senator Joseph McCarthy. | |
|
|
| Transdisc (14831) | 1 year ago | Once again, I humbly bow to your superior knowledge, alfie. Please forgive my insolence. | |

| 4. teison2 (4665) | 1 year ago |  I thought it impossible for me to learn anything new about North America, but you have proved me wrong! Thank you! I knew the part about senator McCarthy and Lois Armstrong, but the rest was news to me. I had no idea that the kite came from America.
I have another thing to thank the birthday-country for:
Ronald Reagan invented the Hamburger, and brought it to Europe through Germany. Thanks!

| 7. ljegbers (5761) | 4 months ago |  LOL - I think humor was invented before then, like the greats of George Carlin, Richare Pryor and of course the SNL gang all before Rosie's time.
I like the Hugh Hefner one, I think he made fantasy into reality for many a man on that one. Heck, he's still living it today. Now that! That! That's the American dream, well at least for our men folk.

| 10. magicalmerlin (1053) | 3 months ago |  I have not had time for Mylot for ages but the pay seemed better so I am trying again. It is great to catch up with Alfie and his exploits. Always guaranteed to bring a smile. I seem from his avatar that he has been doing his exercises and is keeping in great shape.
Things are going well here. Hope they are with you all too.
