Do you get tomorrow off? Do you praise Columbus for discovering "the new world?" Will you create styrofoam replicas of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria in honor? Or does it mean nothing?
 
Tomorrow is actually Thanksgiving for us wacky Canucks.

I know, we're pretty wild.
 
No not really. not anymore. When i was in school it did. Bu since i'm out it doesn't mean a damn to me now.
 
Actually it's weird in high school you got it off.

In college you didn't.

And unless you work for the state or the government, it depended on your job.

I'm off of work tomorrow. :up:
 
Yeah, I still have to go to school!:mad:
 
We should get the day off from school tomorrow...but we don't. :down
 
Ha, I get it off.
 
I have everyday off since i'm unemployed.

Sounds like a good thing but after ahile its not.:csad:
 
I still have school tomorrow. :(

So it doesn't mean anything to me.
 
Hooray for European Imperialism! *bakes cake*
 
Just means no school. (yay!)
 
Colombus day means the beginning of the genocide of the native americans (and when I say "americans" I mean all the continent)
 
I never got Columbus Day off in school.
Btw, Columbus Day never meant s*** to me. :csad:
 
Wait who's making replicas? :huh:



And no I have to go to work,it just means I can park at a meter free,uh woot.
 
I hate Columbus, and the day doesn't mean anything to me.
 
for me it just means that the banks will be closed...and tomorrow is payday :o ....*insert curseword*

columbus didnt even discover america anyways, he discovered the west indies.
 
It means my bank is probably closed and stores may or may not have lames ass sales.
 
Fewer dumb asses on the road on my morning commute,hooray.
 
Commerce Bank is open on Sundays and most Holidays. :up:

What is Columbus Day? I dont remember

A day to celebrate a racist slave master who didn't even discover what most people think of as America :down:
 
Yeah I could have swore someone else discovered America first. Well for starters the Native Americas were already here so he didnt "discover" it. Then I heard the Vikings did, then I heard some guy with a name that has a V in it did.
