Yeah, they don't even mine coal in London, right Jos?

I really don't get the coal mining thing.

We have asset taxes too, you know.

Pretty sure we don't.

You are from the North of England, you don't like Thatcher, at one point you talked about Thatcher and coal mines and the North. Good enough for languish.

From a news article comment section on a joint us-chinaman marching band in the Rose Bowl Parade:

This is it folks. This is how it begins.

This is likely a covert Chinese plot to sneak saboteurs into America. If this becomes a regular event, the Chinese will use it to sneak hundreds, if not thousands of special operations onto American soil.

This will be the precursor to a full scale invasion. The saboteurs will arrive hidden inside the bass drums, and will escape shortly after arriving in America. Once they have enough critical mass, likely in a few years, they will launch their operations.

Don't say I didn't tell you so.

Might I also add that all parents of girls should be especially mindful their children don't get kidnapped and whisked away to China during this event. We all know the male to female ratio in China. Don't kid yourselves.

Not only that, but they're probably going to steal the plans for our trombones and start turning out cheap knockoffs the minute they get back to the People's Republic. Sure, they SAY they can't speak English but that is obviously a ruse to get red-blooded American kids to inadvertently give away our baton twirling secrets. This so called "co-operation" is probably a precursor to the godless red hordes from the East swarming ashore to take over southern California and forcibly "re-educate" the residents of gated communities into becoming rice farmers on communes even now being established in the Central Valley.

Sounds like "RealAmerican" has got his head on straight.  Kudos, kid.

I sorta miss the days when Japan was the economic bad guy.

I have plans for a time machine, you may be interested in; all reasonable offers considered.

I'll buy your time machine, but only if there's a safety guarantee.

Sony is finally stopping production of the playstation2.

Why is the folk singer-songwriter Claire Hamill now following me on twitter ?

[Eddie Teach]

Why don't you send her a personal tweet and ask her? (You can do that right?)
