So here I am, delivering pizzas. Busy night, I'm the only driver. I'm running south on Jarrettsville Road, and hike a left onto Manor. Over a hill, around a bend ...
FUCK!
There's a deer in the road!
Then I realize. That's not a deer. It's a fucking STALLION with a blue blanket on its back. Just standing there, in the middle of the road, like it owns the fucking pavement.
Thank goodness for brand new brakes!!!!

did the blanket say 'Coolidge High School' on it?

Sadly for this loveless Pompatus, though, they are all attached. Two of the gals are married, and three of them (including the one who's ill) are in very serious relationships.
However, the party was a blast. I got kissed on the cheek three times. And I have pictures of them. Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :

Well, Tim is smaller than me. And he's more attractive than me. And he's probably a whole lot more fun to be with than me.

Of course, the whole "I'm no good for you, you deserve someone better" ploy is almost guarateed to get you your man, especially if this is a made-for-TV movie. Which it isn't, but the approach is still sound.

How to be British:
1. Develop a Superiority Complex.
2. Developpe a tendencye to add unnecessarrye lettyres to one's wordes. Especially 'u's.
3. Oasis.
4. Remember to refresh that superiority complex.
5. Scoff at the French, but do it better than everybody else.
6. Belittle the Americans, but not too much, because they might kick your arse.
7. Belittle the Australians, but not too much, because they WILL kick your arse.
8. Export your best comic book authors to the US. And your worst musicians.
9. Pay 4 dollars a gallon for gasoline, and think you're getting a good deal. Tell Americans who pay $1.40 for the same gallon that THEY need to switch to solar power.
10. It's illegal to dance in bars.
11. You have to inform the government if your car is undriveable, or they fine you.
12. Two words: TV Tax. Supposedly, to continue "quality programming" on the BBC.
13. Promote a "Mary Poppins" image of nannies, then send psycho au pairs to the US to decrease the surplus population.
14. Remember to maintain superiority complex.
15. Fail to understand why Americans, even those who 'get' Monty Python and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy can't understand that they're part of an Evil Empire which must be destroyed.
16. Benny Hill.

quote:You're drinking with friends in a pub in London's lively West End when a catchy tune comes on the jukebox and you begin swaying to the music. Stop right there -- you might be on the verge of breaking the law.
A British pub chain was fined $7,850 after undercover inspectors caught a few patrons dancing at two of its popular bars. The crime: flouting licensing laws that ban "rhythmic moving."
Another pub where customers were found "swaying" was served two written warnings.
quote:For those unsure about whether their movements constitute dancing, Westminster Council believes the rules are clear.
"Dancing could be described as the rhythmic moving of the legs, arms and body, usually changing positions within the floor space available and whether or not accompanied by musical support," Bob Currie, director of the council's community protection department said in a letter to an industry newspaper, The Publican.

Saying that our country has a superiority complex does not negate the assertion that yours does, as well.
In fact, one could say the the main reason OUR superiority complex aggravates you brits so much is that it interferes with YOURS.
