Time for everyone to pretend they always knew the team wouldn’t make it.

The RDM always knew. Even before he knew the team was playing the game he knew.

I just realized that Charles Martel is setting the stage for Charlemagne

We'll be getting there as we proceed through the 700s.

Must be a different Yellow Submarine, because the one I saw was approximately the least normal movie I've ever seen.

While Blue Meanies are certainly a staple of normal movies across all genres, there's also some wackier stuff in there.

All those places beginning with O are clearly Canadian though. Canada should only be allowed places that start with O. Windsor doesn’t sound Canadian enough.

New York has lots of O places. Like Oneonta, Oswego, Owego, Otsego and Otego.

Windsor sounds hella Canadian. It’s where our neighbour is from. It is across the border south of Detroit lol.

I haven’t been there but I didn’t know Zaphods was gone. Sad

Could y'all arrange for something super embarrassing to happen to him? Like if he could be attacked by pigeons that would be amazing.

I think he's going to be attacked by Millennials, anyway.
There's also this thing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44788849
There's also people trying to get "American idiot" to UK #1, though I doubt he'd even notice if it was.

Surely they could find something better than American Idiot

American Idiot is good, but that was for Bush. Somebody could have cashed in by recording and releasing a relevant anti-trump song.

Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 12:35 pm Post subject:

Apparently Randy Newman wrote a song about Trump but ended up not using it on his album last year. But he did include a song about Trump’s boss Putin so let’s just promote that.

Too late now. I think Trump's here. Luckily, The North isn't important, so he probably won't come up to Manchester.

Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 1:13 pm Post subject:

Pigeons are still the best option. Trump has a history of being scared of birds. It's low-hanging fruit.

I don't know why not. We've got perfectly good simulators for that, which they can put on their phones.

Basically, to wrap somebody up, protecting them from being affected by outside threats and influences. Treating like a baby.

I had no idea that this wasn't a saying familiar to Americans.

We don't have sayings in America. Everyone is just silent all the time.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is a saying.

That really doesn't sound right.

. Considering we don't generally even call that product "cotton wool," but more like "cotton balls" or something like that, it's unlikely we'd have the same expression.

Yeah you call them cotton swabs and shit like that. I'd never really thought that it was an Americanism, as such. Guess there are plenty of other things like this too.
