We forgot the Alamo even though they told us not to.

I didn't so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.

You know... Like Dallas Cowboys fans?

I almost forgot about Dre once

The Alamo is worth being forgot about. It's always told as a feel good story but it's actually just kinda fucked up. Pretty on par for American history

Weren't they telling Mexicans not to forget the Alamo? I'm not Mexican, so I shouldn't need to remember the Alamo

Aren't we all Mexican on the inside?

Only on taco tuesdays

If someone weighs 120lbs and has severe munchies, probably from that Grave Reaper Vanilla Kush Zombie Lettuce OG, and eats 12lbs of tacos would that make them 10% Mexican?

If that were the case, how did you know to post about it?

The Alamo's a story of American expansionism by an ungrateful group of settlers welcomed by Mexico.

America are the bad guys in the Alamo story.

In other news, you just lost The Game.

I've started ignoring random posts about it.

Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout "I lost the game" for next 5 months. It gets old quick.

Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I'll have lost the game.

Nah. The moment you even think of the game you've lost it, the only way to win is to die and hope there's no afterlife so you don't have to think about it.

I'd like to forget the Alamo

me: hey, racistpieceofshit, why do you hate Mexicans?

racistpieceofshit: they killed Davey Crockett at the Alamo!

I wish I was making this shit up

I forgot about Wednesday until someone asked if I "celebrate", their words.
