I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

it sure does seem to be fucked. I don't know what happened this time. I wish they would figure out a way to post status updates somewhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We'll need a new Natter soon. 1961 was a momentous year, so there's lots of possibilities....
Natter 61: I believe that this board should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing Natter on the moon and returning it safely to Earth.
OK, that's a bit long.
Natter 61: Landing Natter on the moon!
Then there's Eisenhower's famous speech:
Natter 61: We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial-Natter complex.
And there were lots of advances on the automotive front:
Natter for '61 - now with suicide doors!

Now tagless for your comfort.
There is also the Mickey Mantle/Roger Maris battle to break Babe Ruth's single season home run record by hitting 61 home runs in 1961.

Highway 61 is the blues highway to New Orleans. Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul at the crossroads of Hwys. 61 and 49. Highway 61 Revisited is one of Dylan's best albums. Okay, maybe a bit too obscure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
