born in the usa

Happy Thursday!

The Frisky alerted me today that we're smack dab in the middle of National USA Week. Yep, it's another occasion to wear your stars-and-stripes patterned thong. But this time you don't have to worry about whether some creepy guy will try to make out with you during a fireworks display.

That's because in this context, "USA" refers to Unmarried and Single Americans. Congratulations, you get a whole week to celebrate the lifestyle choice Grandma maintains makes you a worthless human being.

But seriously, singletons: Do these quasi-holidays make you feel proud, or more alienated than ever?
