America are the bad guys in the Alamo story.
The Alamo is worth being forgot about. It's always told as a feel good story but it's actually just kinda fucked up. Pretty on par for American history
In other news, you just lost The Game.
I've started ignoring random posts about it.
Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout "I lost the game" for next 5 months. It gets old quick.
Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I'll have lost the game.
Nah. The moment you even think of the game you've lost it, the only way to win is to die and hope there's no afterlife so you don't have to think about it.
Fuck you
Can't forget what you never knew in the first place.
I forgot about Wednesday until someone asked if I "celebrate", their words.
I'd like to forget the Alamo
me: hey, racistpieceofshit, why do you hate Mexicans?
racistpieceofshit: they killed Davey Crockett at the Alamo!
I wish I was making this shit up
Happy dia de la independencia 🇲🇽
Remember that's the first time Texas fought for slavery.
Fuck 'em, I do what I want.
I think that only applies to Texans.
I almost forgot about Dre once

If that were the case, how did you know to post about it?
Forget about Dre though?
The bicycle is in the basement
As all things will be forgotten. So it goes.
"Have some apple pie. Oops, can't forget the ala mode."
Idky this seems like something weird al would say
I think I got it from Colin Mocheri on Who's Line. So close.
What the fuck is an Alamo? Is it like an Internet but with less porn?
Remember the Alamo!
Clearly, you haven't seen PeeWee. I ONLY remember the Alamo.
The stars at night ARE BIG AND BRIGHT!
👏👏👏👏
Deep in the heart of texas
What about the Lusitania? There's so many things we forgot to remember!
Weren't they telling Mexicans not to forget the Alamo? I'm not Mexican, so I shouldn't need to remember the Alamo
Aren't we all Mexican on the inside?
Only on taco tuesdays
If someone weighs 120lbs and has severe munchies, probably from that Grave Reaper Vanilla Kush Zombie Lettuce OG, and eats 12lbs of tacos would that make them 10% Mexican?
I didn't so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.
You know... Like Dallas Cowboys fans?
San Jacincto was a different battle wherein Mexico got their collective ass kicked in there. The Alamo was a rallying cry.
Alamo itself was a rout for the Texians [sic]. There's no side-stepping that. It goes as it goes.
