Lets Stop George Bush before he Destroys the Whole Planet Earth.

By the way, congrats. Just to hijack the thread further, did you get to go anywhere exciting for your honeymoon?

Thanks (and to Bodisthathva)

We spent four days in Whistler, then four in Vancouver. I'd thoroughly recommend both, although my wife - still feels weird writing that - wasn't as keen on the latter.

I was guessing "flinch", but it didn't seem to quite fit the rest of the paragraph. Neither did my other options of "fling", "flange" or "flan".

What about phlegm?

Not for me thanks, but don't let me stop you.

I do not "fire right back", I merely try to assertain what is happening. The visions we get of America are continually shot down (by Americans) as "pure Hollywood" or untrue.
Col

American are the only people in the world who deny that their media reflect their culture. I wonder why they're so ashamed of it?

While I think of it, credit where credit's due:

Terri321's "Are you a mutation of scripted media?"

ranks right up there with

"You do have a spleen?" (I forget who posed this little gem)

as one of the most insane remarks I've read on any of the forums.
Top marks for originality if nothing else.

I forgot all about that comment, and was so amused I had to look it up. Bon appetite!

Instead of relying on what you hear - why don't you find out for yourself

Yes as long as you're white not a muslim or are part of a gay couple you'll be allowed in to the "land of freedom, equality and justice"

Sorry, don't agree. They were not allowed in because they refused to fill out the proper paperwork.
The reason the paperwork needed to be filled out in that manner might not be a real valid reason, but that is not why they were refused entry.
How ever I do have issues with the articule and what they said, in that the U.S. should recognise marriage by an outside country. I disagree with that, because I don't wanr some guy let in because his country deems they can marry a atomic bomb, and so he is allowed entry with his atomic bomb spouse, or his sheep, or whatever they think they are married to.
This one however seems to be one of those, I am going to make a stink about it to get some press, issues more than any thing else.

 

[Rich]

or his sheep, .

Is that because the country's full of sheep already?

Yes, we've imported enough of them.

 

[Rich]

Yes, we've imported enough of them.

From mainland Europe presumably?

 

[MrsGorilla]

Predominantly.
Definitely not from the UK, if that's what you're hinting at. We let you keep yours.

Excellent stuff!

I was leaving a club, some years back. One of my friends used to dress somewhat flamboyantly and a drunk stood, swaying in front of him before coming out with the unforgettable "Why don't you f*ck off, you velvet-trousered b*stard?".

I can always appreciate an imaginative insult, especially if it detracts from whatever nonsense the person is otherwise coming out with (which leads us back nicely to the two previously mentioned remarks ) The fact that this guy had the presence of mind to correctly combine those two words while heavily inebriated impressed me no end. His vomiting and falling over lessened the effect only marginally.

How did he know you were born out of wedlock?

 

[Matt Greatorex]

I was wearing a t-shirt that said so , but the comment was actually directed at my friend.

Amen to that! The art of really-good insults is lost, I'm afraid, and replaced by generics. Bravo to this fine, young man!

See Rich, as time goes on you really do come to realize our countries are not so different after all.

That online report doesn't give all the details of the incident and in any case they were allowed to enter the UK

And if those two Canadians filled out the proper paperwork, they would have been allowed to enter the U.S.

Yes, I wonder whatever happened to nomorehype? Do you think he gave up at trying to 'educate' us?
