Finally, the US government does something I like: they celebrate the immortal holiday known around the world (or at least around the Capitol) as Seersucker Thursday. Guess what they do on Seersucker Thursday? Sure, wear seersucker suits, but they also…um.

Um.

Play seersucker games?

 

Seersucker sidesaddle?

Eat special seersucker foods?

    Sorry, but Americans didn’t invent seersucker. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seersucker.

    Doesn’t mean it isn’t the most American fabric ever. Look at denim!
