    I only glimpsed it on the news channels on the TVs at the gym yesterday. It’s interesting that it was originally hyped as a birthday parade for him, but all the clips on the news were labeling it as a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army. I guess the birthday parade shit didn’t poll well with anybody.

    Also pretty hilarious that nobody really celebrates the 250th anniversary of anything.

        Usually you celebrate the xxxth birthday of someone/-thing even when they’re dead. Last year for example was the 300th birthday of Casper David Friedrich, a painter. This year my city is celeberating it’s 750th birthday and I believe the university will soon celebrate its 600th birthday
