A Message from the Queen

All levity aside, there actually was a scene in the first seven minutes of the  1984 movie "Red Dawn" , supposedly in Colorado , which showed a bumper sticker displaying the 1980s slogan.

The camera then pans down to show one of the invading Russian paratroopers taking a Colt 1911A1 style pistol from a dead man's hand.

Per my recollection, despite that initial scene, the movie script emphasized what could be accomplished with team work.

Perhaps the reason why the main charcters were football jocks.

Bish -

Funny guy. However let's clear a few things first.

Soccer is not football in the US. 

Baseball is our national pastime. Spring til October season. Cricket? Pfffft... 

Basketball is a sport that last from October until June. College basketball has March Madness.

Hockey season October til June.

BBQs and cook outs are mandatory weather permitting.

Fishing and hunting seasons rock here in the USA. 

More to add soon....

LOL!

Does this mean I now live in Waterlooshire?

Thanks for the laugh Bish! Merry Christmas!

 

But you all have such...bad teeth!

Odd that it would get around to bad teeth.

A quote from "THE JOURNAL OF NICHOLAS CRESSWELL" :

"When one recollects the high standard of dental hygiene in America to-day it is surprising to learn that " to counterbalance this great perfection (their goad figures) they (the American women) have very bad teeth 

---since they eat " so much hot bread."

Of course, that was a few years ago around the time His Majesty King George III lost the colonies .............

I did come across an artical last nigth after GM posted that, as this idea that the Brits have bad teeth is a new one on me. According to a WHO report, the Brits have pretty good teeth, better than many nations including the US, and more of us go to the dentist. I think the idea we have bad teeth is a bit like the idea Stephan Hawkins would die if he had lived under the NHS. A bit of a scare story by those who don't like the idea of a universal helth care system.

Nothing wrong with the idea of Universal Health Care so long as it is designed and managed by competent and honest people. 

Looking forward to HRH ERII's people setting up shop around here.........

Unfortunatly, the words competant and honets don't really belong in the same sentance as the word goverment. That being said, i have always had great service from the NHS. It may not be perfect, but i certainly prefer it to the alternative.

Bish,

If you have had great service, then I definitely look forward to the arrival of Her Majesty's representatives.

Well, so far I haven't been unhappy with the level of care and service I get from the VA.  And my stuff is not service related......

And teeth????? Pffffft- haven't had any for five years and still get by with everything I did before except cashews (I do miss those).

Goldhammer......no cashews!?!? as a liker of cashews I feel for you brother.

Bish

Dear American friends, i have been asked to share this important announcement with you all......

 

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Well, in recent years, it might seem that we have we failed to nominate competent candidates for President, but you wait... we have yet to play our Trump card.  And no need to look up revocation; it means to change jobs, doesn't it?

Bish

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).

It's all or nothing, m'Lady.  Perhaps a vacation in Northern Sweden will change your mind?

Bish

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.  A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

It already has, Liz, at least in a functional sense.  Hasn't helped much.    And the typical response rate of us Americans to surveys is about 1%, so you won't get much insight with that approach...

If your offering a choice between Queen Lizzie or Trumpenstien or Shrillary, I'll have Lizzie anyday, heck I'd support King Chuck and his horse Camilla over Them. PS... Do I get a complimentary Bentley for being Pro-Lizzie?

There's always commercially made Cashew butter............

King Bill!

Don't ya mean his cookie baking Hausfrau, Hillary? 

No, that handsome blonde kid with the hot wife!

Ach ! 

Of course. 

Taking your cue from the average voter; concerned with the important issues of the day. 

I'm wondering if we should " take a raincheck " on a new king until they produce another George.

Looking more and more like the colonies will come apart at the seams before he can inherit, though...

Space might end up being sub divided by close neighbors

The southern half is well on its way now, if not already there...............even starting to see it around the 45th pararell.....

I'll have to get a jar of cashew butter when I get flush again and check it out.

Had the Scots not recently bought into the idea of hanging around for George VII, the UK might have been a bit smaller....

Heck, seeing it in my local hive of scum and villany.

Might be wise to look for reviews, considering the expense.
