Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
New day.
Same old confusion.
A quote from English naval officer Frederick Marryat, in 1837: "The Americans may have great reason to be proud of this day and of the deeds of their forefathers, but why do they get so confoundedly drunk?"
Since when do we need a reason? Silly Brits. No wonder we threw them out.

Actually, he seems to have come round to that way of thinking. The quote finishes with "There is something grand in the idea of a national intoxication." Of course, first he wonders why the nation celebrates its independence by becoming wholly dependent on posts and rails for support.

So he went and founded Australia, the end.

I saw The Daily Show last night, with Jon Stewart noting that the US did not make the final 16 at the World Cup, while Australia did. Or as he put it, "The drunken us".) But he did note that there was no shame in losing to one of West Africa's least malnourished nations.
bt, that's below the belt.
To make up for it, send us Harry Kewell. Preferably with a better haircut, preferably dipped in chocolate.

oh, that's nice.
I wound up channel-surfing this morning and stumbled across Angel on TNT. So I wondered which episode they were on, and when I hit "info" I got this fantastic description:
As Wes, Cordy and Gunn reel from the shock of being fired, their deadly serious ex-boss intently reinvents himself as a coldhearted, one-man weapon of mass destruction.
I can almost believe that Angel wrote that himself.
snerk
coldhearted, one-man weapon of mass destruction.
Pretty limited bit of mass destruction, though. Unless they mean the BLOOD MONEY Wes video and the mass destruction of people's eyes.
Oh lord. No, it was just Redefinition. So he sets Darla and Dru on fire. I mean, sure, it was cool, but it wasn't massive. Or even destructive, since they both survived..
I kinda love all the adjectives (intently reinvents himself!), but the WMD bit is the winner.
