It’s America’s birthday, y’all! Happy July 4th! If you’re like most Americans, your plans today mostly involve getting hammered and watching fireworks. And don’t get me wrong, that’s always a great time, but we can all do better. There are those among us who treat Independence Day not just as a day of celebrating our nation’s birth, but as an excuse to go all-out. For example, getting a Benjamin Franklin face tattoo.
Here are 15 people who went above and beyond celebrating the 4th of July. If anyone’s thinking about adding more faces to Mt. Rushmore, these are some great candidates. (via Bored Panda.)
