It's actually October 12, but it was moved to fall on a Monday, for Columbu$ Day $ales I guess!This is Columbus Day?
So true, I'm darn glad to have them as neighbors too![]()
LOL! ....... even my mind is the furthest thing from my person,......
Just as Antonio Meucci was the original inventor of the telephone but Alexander Graham Bell got the credit, so too was CristĂłvĂŁo Colombo given credit for discovering the "New World" when it was already occupied.
The natives were slaughtered and we inherited mattress sales.![]()
The really strange thing is....I had never heard of this Columbus Day before this thread. I went and made dinner, and then watched an old Sopranos episode, and you won't believe it [I almost didn't] it was all about the rows over Columbus Day, and the Italians fighting with the Native Indians in the streets of New Jersey, over having a parade! What are the chances of that ?
Thre's sure to be someone who does statistics on here who can tell me.![]()
...just guessing... that it was a timely topic?So I have to ask... what was the point of this thread? Are we supposed to .... do what? Storm Capital Hill and demand Columbus be exposed for what he was? Remove the holiday? Refuse to shop at the Columbus day sales?

AprilT said:Yes and we have an even bigger sales right after another fine marking of a false representation, :thanksgiving:but I doubt many will poo poo those sales when they go out to get the newest mode of telecommunications that day and there on.
If that's the case,tell him to get in line.I know that.... but apparently old Chris was a rotton SOB... and we have Columbus day... So I was just wondering if we need to take some sort of action?
