Guess he's never heard of second breakfast, Pip.

Pip?

Whoa, Warbler has seemingly never seen The Lord of the Rings film(s), or at the very least didn't find them memorable.

I thought the political ideals in America were mainly focused to the right and the EXTREMELY right? And as for the Boston Tea Party? Well...

I watched them one time.   I couldn't really get them.   Maybe if I had read the books, the movies would have made more sense. 

Listening to the radio at work today and on comes 'Ironic' by Alanis Morissette. Now something has always struck me about this song, is that all the examples she sings about in the song are not actually ironic. The song SHOULD be called 'shit happens'. 

People have been proudly pointing that out since the song's release.

I guess most people don't understand irony that well, and only tend to think of verbal irony when they think of the word "ironic". Rain on your wedding day, or a fly in your Chardonnay, would both be examples of situational irony, which is when something pans out the opposite way that you expected it to. You plan an outdoor summer wedding, imagining a gorgeous bright sunny day; then the date arrives, all your guests are in town, and the weather is all dreary and wet.

The fact that the internet still gets jollies from pointing this out so many years later leads me to believe that Canada has a better school system than the US (and maybe Italy ;), and are better educated than us.

There's someone who works for the Local Council that is in charge of traffic congestion, and are on their way to a meeting about traffic congestion but are late for the meeting because their stuck in a traffic jam. That's ironic.

damn, sorry to hear that, Leonardo.

Yes, because football players are wimps.

Exactly.

If I found myself in a bar fight with a professional American football player, I'd run away and knock over a few chairs and other objects behind me, and wait for him to trip on them and call a time out.

If I found myself in a bar fight with a pro rugby player, I'd reach for the nearest pen and paper and start jotting down my will.

A professional Rugby League player would trip over the chairs too. A professional Rugby Union player would probably be so polite that you wouldn't get into a fight in the first place.

Oh your so wrong. Rugby players love to fight. But they'll shake your hand and buy you a beer when its all over. That's if your not slumped over a table unconscious offcourse. :-)

^That is more of my experience with rugby players, and footballers in general.

American football players tend to go for bulk. Yes, they are massive guys, but I find the lean muscular agility of your typical European player to be far more intimidating than brutish tree trunk sized arms.

I once found myself stuck in the back of a tiny airplane with the Liverpool football team. It was kind of awesome. They were loud and crass, and continually tortured the rather attractive flight attendant with subtle sexual harassments, which she genuinely seemed to really be enjoying. These guys kept ordering gin and tonic after gin and tonic. I decided I needed to see what all the fuss was about. The G&T has been my drink ever since.

As I had to replace my broken original X-box I thought I might as well soft mod the thing.

I mentioned this to a friend who wanted one done too.

I got his to work really well.

Today I screwed up on my own one and in frustration looked at the internet for solutions (I think I know what I have to do but I'm out of CD-RWs).

Most of the information that would have spared any eavesdroppers from my quality swears is on an Xbox forum which picked today of all days to go down.

It seems almost every page I landed on trying to solve my problems reported back to that forum.

It's rather amusing now but around noon I was rapid with retro-techno-rage.

I liked like to bitch about something that happened last night.   My parents and I went to a local theater last night.  We have season tickets to it.  We saw  musical called the Drowsy Chaperone.   It was okay, a little weird, but ok.  That is not my complaint.   My complaint was what happened afterwards.  We decided go get a little something to eat and drink at the nearest Applebee's.     Applebee's as you may or may not know is a bar/restaurant type place.    It was 10:30 PM.    We walk into the place and are seated at a table and what do I hear?  Crying kids!   At 10:30 at night in a bar!  There must have been at least 4 for kids that were not much older than 2!  I know my brother and his wife have my niece 6 year old niece in bed a couple hours before that.  These kids should have been in bed hours before 10:30 PM.   The people with the kids(they are really just babies) stayed at the bar after we left.  We left after 11 PM.   What are these idiots thinking?!?!!  THESE KIDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN BED!!!  I should not have to go to a bar at 10:30 at night and hear kids crying!!!  Kids/babies crying drives me nuts!  These parents clearly don't care about their kids too much.    No way my parents would have had me at a bar at 10:30 PM when I was their age.   I wanted so much to go to these parents and scream "WHY AREN'T YOUR KIDS IN BED YOU MORONS!!"   (edit: possibly racist statement deleted)   I just don't get taking your toddler to a bar/restaurant at 10:30 at night.   These parents are dimwits. Well, that is my rant.
