I always loved having the feast of the immaculate conception off every fall at MU. Still have no idea what that was about.

I always thought it was the feast of the immaculate reception. Now I guess I have no idea either....

A few sandwiches ago, I was thinking of cutting off the crusts, but thought that was pretty juvenile.

So I cut off just two of the four crusts. 

It's really improved my sandwich enjoyment.

But if you could improve your sandwich enjoyment even more by cutting off the other two crusts, does it matter.

Oh, wait - it just occurred to me that as a Scoop mod, you have a certain reputation to uphold.

Isn't the edge on an uncrustable technically a crust though?

Looks like it to me. If it was truly crustless, you'd see the filling running out the sides.

It's an edge, not a crust.

Filling will run out of a sandwich if you cut the crusts off.  Or even if you don't.

Arby's onion rolls don't have crusts.

Isnt the outside of a roll just one continuous crust?

FWIW, most dictionary definitions of "crust" include pastry or pie-type shells.

I don't think so.  They obviously use an industrial strength one of these, which does, in fact, cut off the crusts.

out of curiosity, how many dictionaries were involved in this research?

Anyhow, there's still the July 2 vs July 4 question....

No, there isn't any question at all.  You celebrate action, not a vote to take the action.

Look at it this way... the beginning of a President's term is recognized as Inauguration Day, not Election Day.  If the President-Elect dies between ED and ID, their legacy will forever be as a President-Elect, not a President.

If the signors took the vote but never signed the Declaration of Independence, what the hell would there be to celebrate?

No love for ECD?

Cutting only two crusts lets me feel slightly less unsophisticated.  Then it's like a pizza crust, something you hold on to, maybe eat.

Which brings us back to my original point: If the signers signed the declaration but we didn't go on to win the war and form an independent nation, what the hell would there be to celebrate?

You seem to be making an argument for the date of the Paris peace treaty, or perhaps the date that the Articles of Confederation or Constitution were adopted.

We'd be celebrating the defeat of a rebellion while enjoying membership in the Commonwealth. If our ancestors would have even bothered to emigrate to a British territory in the first place.

Which raises another interesting question: has anyone here done any ancestry research and have ancestors who were here before the revolution?

It's pretty mind blowing how quickly the numbers of direct ancestors you have when you go back a bit. Two biological parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents and so on. By the time you get to your great x 5 grandparents, you have 128 of them!

Anyhow I tracked a couple of mine back to the 1600s and 1700s in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, and have two direct grandparents who served in the Connecticut Militia during the Revoutionary War. My daughter is even thinking of applying for membership in DAR.

Every single one of my great grandparents, and one of my grandparents, was born in what was basically Germany. I don't believe I had a single ancestor here prior to 1880.

Genealogy is fascinating stuff.

If you go to my moms side I'm technically (sorta) first generation American.

But on my dads side, They've been in Chicago for at least 5 generations, may have been one of the first settlers in the city.

I am a direct descendant of Miles Standish from the Mayflower. And that was also a favorite sandwich at Suburbia on campus!

My French-Canadian ancestry has the relatives in Quebec in 1635 as part of the Percheron Immigration, the first sustained Immigration to French Canada.
It's the French equivalent to the Mayflower.

I have done Ancestry.com twice. Absolutely fascinating to me. The last time one branch kept telling me there was a record of this person's parents and the parent's parents.  I kept hitting accept, accept, accept, I believe about 15 times.  I was thinking it was cool to see all these names of people in England. Several "Sirs" and "Lady's". It ended at some guy named "Henry VIII Tudor". I lost confidence in the validity of the branch.
