This is it. The one day of year we get to step back from the endless "fat lazy american" jokes that are so popular on this forum, and celebrate all that it means to be an American. We owned you noobs. We got a double kill, in 1776 and in 1812. We knew the map better. We had more critical hits.
I want to promote some good-natured smack-talk between us and our more numerous friends from across the pond. Man, we got the First Blood buff at the boston tea party, and it was pretty much GG after that.
To be fair the Brits were somewhat distracted with a chap called Bonaparte at the time and we still managed to burn the capitol so not an unqualified victory in my opinion. It also makes me chuckle that you call the Brits the "noobs" given the relative ages of the two nations. Moriquendi
