Bicentennial? “The United States Bicentennial was a series of celebrations and observances during the mid-1970s that paid tribute to historical events leading up to the creation of the United States of America as an independent republic. It was a central event in the memory of the American Revolution. The Bicentennial culminated on Sunday, July 4, 1976, with the 200th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Founding Father delegates of the Second Continental Congress.” (Wikipedia not me)
Hey, I just realized that the 250th anniversary of the U.S.‘s founding is coming up in 2026. Does it have a fancy name? It should have, it’s a quarter of a millennium. I know “sesquicentennial” means 150. So surely 250 has a name.
“Why do you always rag on Snoopy?” Gee, I dunno. Who wouldn’t like a character who wants to bite someone to infect them with rabies just cuz they wanna sign a cast?
I still have an “I’m just wild about Harry” (Truman, not Potter) pin, a Bicentennial tee shirt, and an Atlanta 1996 Olympics tee shirt. D##n, I’m old. 8.)
Well, Snoop, that’s a pleasant thought for a Monday morning. You’d bite her, but only if it would result in her getting serious and lasting damage. How sweet.
I was told with my first cast I’d get to keep it after folks had signed it. I was lied to, the doctor who removed it threw it out immediately without asking if I wanted to keep it. Still a little miffed about that.
Bought my first new Harley Davidson that year, a 1976 Sportster I customized and believe it is still running from what I have heard. Watched the Tall Ships sail down the East River in Astoria, Queens, some sight to see.

I guess Snoopy won’t be watching any broadcasts of The Bicentennial Minutes.

Don’t bother with a bite Snoopy .. you might catch something. Better off just “lifting your leg” on her … sure to keep her FAR away from then on.

If Snoopy was a Doberman, he would maul her to death.

If you bit her Snoopy, she’d probably give you rabies…

cause the “taste” of Lucy might otherwise not be worth the expended energy.

Kiss Lucy instead, Snoopy. That always chases her away.

Does he merely suspect he has rabies?
