What you guys don't have a "We got rid of all those bloody Yankee Puritans day?" I thought you guys would considering that you guys still celebrate Guy Fawkes day.

We're good at celebrating people trying to blow up our Government.

Thanksgiving is really a non-issue for us - completely irrelevant. But hey, I'm glad you all had fun.

"Anarchy In The U.K."

Right! now
ha ha ha ha ha...

I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy passerby

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
No dogsbody

Anarchy for the UK
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop at traffic line
Your future dream is a sharpie's scheme

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
In the city

How many ways to get what you want
I use the best
I use the rest
I use the N.M.E
I use Anarchy

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
It's the only way to be

Is this the M.P.L.A or
Is this the U.D.A or
Is this the I.R.A
I thought it was the UK
Or just another country
Another council tenancy

I wanna be Anarchy
And I wanna be Anarchy
(Oh what a name)
And I wanna be anarchist
I get pissed, destroy!

From what I read is was some Islamic sermon on something.

Essentially it was a long-ish prayer/admonition/parable from the Qu'ran.

As long as it wasn't the radical bs that plagues certain regions of this planet, I don't care....

God save the queen because no one else will. HA!

God save the queen because no one else will. HA!

The Queen is an outmoded hangover from a time best forgotten.

More seriously, given the outrageous sums of money that are just handed over to the Royal Family, and the stuff they have historically got away with, I'm really not all that impressed with them.

But I understand for people from other countries they still have a bit of a significance that isn't so resonant with me, and far be it from me to grumble about everything in the Hive.

In other news, today I slipped and bashed my knee, so that hurts.

On the other hand, COOKIES!

I got some snow this morning.

But it is all melted now.

Life sucks and I don't even get to die.



Wife may or may not have cancer.

Doctors will not so much as check her temperture.

Why?

The obvious. We longer have insurance (it went up 19% this year)




After reminding them about a few legalities they said 500 up front.

crap.... don't have 500.

Tried to get money / loan from work.

MAY have the 500.

oh- that was from ONE doctor. The other wants 650+ also.

so.... 1200 dollars to see if my wife is dieing of cancer. well Duck me.

when is this crap ever going to end?

I never found cousin Liz and the fam to be very impressive. The summers I spent with them at the palace meant nothing. Cookies, however, most impressive. Gimme!

Don't worry about the knee. That's why God gave you two.

Obama will save her.

Seriously. I hope whatever happens she'll be okay.

Only two knees?!

How do you humans even manage to move around...

My third leg isn't jointed.
