When you start losing a grasp on your culture.

A very real, unedited email exchange with my brother one week after the 4th of July:

To: My brother
Subject: This is a real question

Why is everyone all about saying "Merica" (mostly on Facebook)? I do not understand this reference and let it go for a while, but now I'm just stumped because it isn't stopping.

RE: This is a real question

Haha basically a "redneck" way of being patriotic.

More so pronounced, "Murica"

Think Chuck Norris riding an American eagle, chugging an Old Style, with a jean jacket on, guns blazing, and explosions in the background...

And then I googled it.

Gulp.
