Yeah, for us Yanks, it's another contrived monday off for government workers, and another excuse for retailers to promote sales.

So, anybody off today? Celebrating? Giving the slightest damn?

And who do you like better, George or Abe? (yeah, I know Erik, no threads about other members)

MacosNerd · Feb 18, 2008, 07:06 AM

I'm working

I suppose that's better then shopping, i.e., making money instead of spending it. I suppose though if I really want to spend it, I could pop over to apple.com

What did George Washington say to his men before they crossed the Delaware?

"Get in the boat."

SpaceMonkey · Feb 18, 2008, 07:23 AM

I'm off. I haven't thought much further ahead than that, though.

MacosNerd · Feb 18, 2008, 07:46 AM

No big deal for me to work today, I just looked out the window and its pouring (here in boston). Its not like I'm wanting to go out in torrential downpours or anything.

Where's my dang abe lincoln top hat? .....

harbinger75 · Feb 18, 2008, 08:10 AM

I'm off today, mulling over what I'm going to do.

...probably catch up on the sleep I haven't gotten in the last few months.

Mrjinglesusa · Feb 18, 2008, 08:12 AM

I'm off today. No plans other than playing some COD4 on PS3 and maybe watching a movie or two.

design219 · Feb 18, 2008, 08:22 AM

I can't believe so many of you are off. Most people I know are not. My kids are out of school, however.

Sherman Homan · Feb 18, 2008, 08:27 AM

I can't decide whether to "smoke" a cigar or invade a foreign country.

Working for a city government has its perks on occasion.

Neither off nor doing anything particularly celebratory.

MacinTommy · Feb 18, 2008, 10:58 AM

I'm off! (work for a bank) I just finished watching "Rounders". It was the first time I ever saw it and it was awesome! IDK what to do for the rest of the day.

slpdLoad · Feb 18, 2008, 11:08 AM

I'm celebrating the upcoming change in administration.

Great flick - one of my all-time favorites.

Maybe go do some gambling?

Teronzhul · Feb 18, 2008, 03:04 PM

I'm off today, but it doesn't have anything to do with President's Day. Also, I have the Flu so I don't care much about being off from work.

imitchellg5 · Feb 18, 2008, 05:20 PM

I was wondering why I had today off.

Kidding

Dakar the Fourth · Feb 19, 2008, 09:29 AM

I had a great freakin' day. Went to bed at 7am, got up at 2pm, killed some chumps from here in Halo, enjoyed some History channel on U.S. Presidents, lounged around. Refreshing.

osiris · Feb 19, 2008, 10:11 AM

I slept, drank, ate, sexed, slept, drank, ate.. etc.
