That ad reminds me of the first US History class I took in college.

The poor girl had apparently never seen printing from the 1700s. She looked at the image from the overhead projector and said “Conftitution? How could they misspell that?”

there is a

vicor of dibley episope based on that, where the vicor gets an old bible and her assistant blows all the words. the phrase the bit ended on was supposed to be “and i will be your succor”

ahhh sophisticated bristish humour…

I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth ... while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Dawn French FTW.

Get a Vicar of Dibley and a Jam and Jerusalem (Clatterford) marathon going, and it’s the perfect night if hockey’s not on. I love sharp British humor, esp. when it’s coming from French & Saunders.

YES.

I wish that BBC America’d start showing Blackadder again. Less Star Trek: TNG, more actual British programming, please. Red Dwarf’d be nice to see too, and frankly even though I’ve already seen both seasons worth, a Hex marathon’d be appropriate for this weekend.

Heck, and if they could lay off the Gordon Ramsay and play more Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson, I’d be very much a happy camper too.

I like the cut of that Jefferson characters jib.

That Adams fellow seems to lack the fortitude needed for public office. And seriously, importing European mistresses? Are American paramours of inferior quality? Hrumph.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

But Adams' son was our ambassador to Prussia during the reign of Frederick William II...

…who was one of the least-accomplished members of the Hohenzollern dynasty, the nephew and successor of Frederick the Great.

I’d love to hear someone today refer to, oh, Sarah Palin as a “hatchet-faced nutmeg dealer.”

I love Frederick the Great.

His irrational hatred of Maria Theresa of Austria is hysterical to me, as is the 250 or 300 years of hatred between the two countries until they realized that working together for European domination is much more productive. :)

Frederick should have just kept going after he took Silesia...

..and marched straight on through to Vienna.

Austria’s army at the time time was pitiful; they probably couldn’t have stopped him.

All the German-speaking parts of the Habsburg Empire would have been absorbed into Prussia, the Slavic parts could have gone their own way, and you’d have had German unification a hundred years sooner than you actually did.

The Russians probably wouldn’t have interfered, as they have gotten Slavic Europe as a zone of influence right off, and France and Austria were antagonistic towards one another.

This would have paved the way for an alliance of Germany, Russia and England, which would have dominated the world and would probably still be dominating it today.

That’s my theory, and I’m sticking to it…

World domination = a good economy.

A good economy = no chance for Communism to really take hold, which equals no Russian Revolution, which equals no gulags, Stalin, Lenin, and everything that comes with. Also, a happy Germany = no Hitler and such.

Kind of wish your theory would have happened, in retrospect.

oh no lets not elect masticators and thespians!!!!! wait a sec reagan was both. why didn’t we realize it sooner?!?

"Bernie Miklasz gives the Blues some love."

Fuck that guy. See if he writes anything about the Blues if they start 2-4-2 (besides Payne/Halak/Armstrong a bust). Cards are done, LaRussa/Duncan/McGwire are back, World Series is boring and Mikllasz polly-come-latelies the trending Blues.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

by TheDuke32 on Oct 30, 2010 7:30 AM CDT via mobile reply actions

Seconded...

Miklasz, like the so-called “Hockey Guy” Gordon, is a weathervane. He writes in whatever direction the wind is blowing.

I’ll say this for Miklasz, though… at least he’s a little more knowledgeable than that idiot Burwell, who has only one card in his deck.

Sheldon Kennedy/Theo Fleury

I know we all make mistakes, but you might want to fix the Theo Fleury link description. Those were two of the victims. Kennedy wasn’t the dirty old man.

do we have a tootoo

suspension over/under? cos i’m thinking its zero. nashville pretty hard on the “not a head hit” and even hard on “didn’t leave his skates” although i think the evidence for the skates leaving is there, the head shot is kinda dicey to “prove” on the ice it was charging (meaning skates left the ice) therefore not a head shot) will be interesting if they do decide something.

besides the first offense is no damage under the rule anyway, they would have to pretty much assume intent to injure or decide that tootoo’s nasty past counts under this rule even though it happened prior to the rule.

and all this has lead me to something else

overtime time, no shoot out, go to a cage match.

and yep i’m serious

“no one ever leaves a shoot out” blah blah blah, “more people come to the game to see the fights than stay away because of them” blah blah blah i’m not sure i believe eitgher, but i’m telling ya this, they drop a cage from the roof onto center ice and stick cam and tootoo into. two men enter one man leaves. i’m staying.

by Childhood Trauma on Oct 30, 2010 12:16 PM CDT reply actions

I really don't see a flagrant penalty under the new rule BS

It’s still headhunting IMHO and TooToo needs to answer for it next game on the ice. You get the number on the back of the jersey and bide your time. Good things come to those who wait.

I bought the NHL Gamecenter thing

I know it costs a lot for the season, but the ability to watch games when you want to makes it completely worth it. The controls are good and the quality is too. I’d consider it if I were you.
