I'm American and I don't even know what May Day is...

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Thats probably because it started around Europe

You're forgetting May day is also International Workers Day.

"the people's flag is deepest red,
it shrouded oft our martyrs dead,
and 'ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
their hearts blood dyed its every fold,
so raise the glorious standard high,
beneath its folds, we'll live and die,
though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
we'll keep the red flag flying here,"

(to the tune of O Tanembaum!)

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

isn't that just the PC name for Labour Day?

Whatever it is, its a good idea, can't be having with badly kept workers, its just not productive.

one of my mum's friends gave her husband a black eye after she had been in labour 14 hours and gave birth on may 1st. He announced "oh look, labour day."



she lamped him....

the nurse laughed
