What? Fuck you, England! That’s not how time works!

It’s the exchange rate: the US year is not worth half a hoot nowadays.

It’s known as Orange Whiz.

I guess if you imported it. But most yeast extract industries only exist as a byproduct of the brewing business, and beer tends to intensify belligerence.

Hmmm…

No beer / yeast extract: very mellow (no national examples I can think of.)

Beer / no yeast extract: very belligerent. Cf Germany, America.

Beer AND yeast extract: a healthy balance. Cf, Britain, Australia.

Although that does make me wonder how much more effing belligerent the Brits and us Aussies would be if we only had beer.

As for Columbus Day, i wasn’t even aware of it, until that Sopranos episode.

I’m here to help.

As someone who was less than impressed by the use of Paddington to sell Marmite over marmalade, I have to say that the adverts (on YouTube) are really fucking funny.

But we’re not meant to talk sammiches here, right?

… he just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich…

Paddington Bear was clearly a leftist Peruvian stooge coming over here to sabotage the tradition of ‘elevenses’, on which all civilisation depends.

Also, he was an illegal immigrant, and is now to be seen peddling anti-semetic produce. (Marmite)

How so? you ask.

In 1999, Edward De Bono was asked by the British Foreign Office for help in sorting out the Israel-Palestine problem. De Bono, an expert in lateral thinking, had an interesting solution.

Quote the Independant; “The celebrated master of lateral thinking is promoting supplies of the yeast extract spread as the means to resolve the region’s seemingly intractable problems.

The logic, briefly, is this. A lack of zinc makes men irritable and belligerent. You get zinc in yeast, which is fine for your average lover of Mother’s Pride. But in the Middle East, the bread is unleavened. Ergo, the great man says, Marmite is the answer to easing the way to peace.”

If this dastardly plan were to come into being, the Islamofascists, being the devious kind of orientals that they so clearly are, would only pretend to eat the Marmite, thus leaving the Israelis suceptable to a second holocaust.

Paddington Bear was a poor brown person, a Latin American leftist who conned the stupid liberals into accepting him into society, an illegal immigrant, and now a supporter of Islamofascism.

Q.E.D.

Has anyone ever seen Sarah Palin and Olga da Polga together at the same time?

Good catch.

According to Wikipedia, “cf. is an abbreviation for the Latin-derived (but also modern English) word confer, meaning “compare” or “consult”. It is mainly used in common and statute law contexts as well as in academic writing.”

Which reminds me, WTF does Cf stand for.

I hate when the internet leaves me out!
