Fantasy Football Since when is "God Bless America" a stand up and remove your hat song? - Page 11

**Saulbadguy** · 05-23-2012, 08:32 AM

I was at the Royals game on Sunday, and before the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", someone sang "God Bless America".

I was already standing, so I sang along, but I heard some dumbass hayseed yell "TAKE OFF YERRRR HAT" to another fan.

At what point did this become a "tradition", like the singing of "take me out" at Major League Baseball games?

Grandpa taught Bob Dole you should always take your hat off in a building.

Would he slap it off of you if you didn't?

What if you had the hats that you pull the string and it claps. I mean I can't think of an act more pro-american than a manual clapping hat.

I think it has to salute to be proper etiquette.

“Be it known, that I, James C. Boyle, of Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have invented a new and improved Saluting Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a novel device for automatically effecting polite salutations by the elevation and rotation of the hat on the head of the saluting party when said person bows to the person or persons saluted, the actuation of the hat being produced by mechanism therein and without the use of hands in any manner.”

This is a good start. Why was this never developed further?

Oh, shit. I was looking for a saluting hat and found a Nazi!

Is that normal now for the neo Nazis to hold up a couple of fingers to make a pretend Hitler 'stache?

As a bit of Hitler trivia, he initially had a big wide moustache, but when he was a soldier in WWI he trimmed it because otherwise his gas mask didn't fit properly. Then he kept the look afterwards.

You said almost every country in the world. The woman will be wearing burqas in France now. You can scratch that one off your list, the muslims won that election.
The freedoms in Canada and Britain are very much due to their alliance with the U.S. and their similar beliefs.

And yes, you have the freedom to be who you are, for now, due to the sacrifices of the service people that have stood up for those rights.

I was just in the Hines VA hospital this week, and the sign in the entry says:
"The price of freedom is on display here."

But go ahead, fire up that X Box and be somebody.
