re the snow: US response = massive snow plows and people with mechanical snow blower machines clearing a path as it falls. Result - clear highways and we had no problem driving from DC to NYC

UK response - wring hands and wonder what to do as snow falls, end up doing nothing until a thick layer of ice covers everything, then get one elderly man with a bucket of grit (salt) to sprinkle it lightly over odd bits of road in case we run out.

Even the names you gave to the weather were better than ours. US: 'Winter Storm: Round 2' 'Snowmageddon' 'Snowpocalypse' 'February Fury' (my personal favourite)
UK: 'Frozen Britain'

Jazaray: I would have visited but unfortunately I had to help look after 25 students who were with us. One day I will visit the US without this handicap and do some proper sightseeing! :]

Two things: First, your description of the British response to snow made me laugh for about a good 30 seconds solid. That was truly hilarious. I hope for your sake it was hyperbole, but then again, there is that whole North Atlantic Current thing to deal with. Second, I didn't realize you had 25 kids with you. In retrospect, coming to my house might have been a bad idea, as there is no telling what combination of the aforementioned entertainments I might be enjoying at any one time.

Wish me luck!

Good Luck!

At lunch today we were talking about her deck, and I mentioned that one of her cards had a nickname, and before I even hinted at which card it was, she asked me "Jar Jar Binks"? I was indeed talking about Sphinx of Jwar Isle. I was proud.

Then after she returned from the restroom, she said she had just come up with an idea for a new Magic card that she thought would be fun for the next UN- set. I think her chances at living a normal life are officially over.

We have those trash carts where I live, and I have never once had any problems, or heard of anyone else having problems, with them.

It appears the solution is quite simple: Close the stupid lid when you move the cart! I'll take my $540k please.

The sad part is, this moron who's apparently too stupid to use his own fricking trash can without injuring himself is going to make a crapload of money by conning other people into thinking that their inability to carry out common everyday tasks is somehow the fault of a piece of molded plastic. Sorry Darwin, you lose this round. Survival of the brain-damaged.

This comment comes from me looking back at old smacks that Dad and Han used to give me when I ****ed them off. Reading my smacks has made me come to the conclusion that I was a pretty big ******* back in the day. It seems I even annoyed Leshrac. I'd like to apologize for that to anyone affected.

Also, the way he's looking directly into the camera is creepy, like he wants to have his way with everyone watching.

Well, it's much easier when I actually totally agree with you, and was being sarcastic in my original comment, then backed it up with stuff that I don't buy for a second.

Naw, sarcasm just doesn't always come off so well in this medium. Was hoping that posting pure insanity would tip people off.

Oh, I agree. This is a clear case of the liberal media giving me something else I'd take at the time. I was just curious about what he was going to say. Everything he said seemed to be the right thing to say, it just wasn't sincere to me.

He pretty much said "I'm sorry. I've been a bad husband, father, role model, etc. Everything else is private. Good day."

You have no idea how fun it is to go back and forth with Jeff when he takes the whole thing seriously instead of just dismissing you with frighteningly annoying sarcasm when all you really wanted to do was mess around in a fun, friendly way.

If this was all over the news, I would probably go "look it up... duh", but it's a pretty obscure and low profile event so I'll give you a pass.

Seems pretty darn fair, but I'm sure the media is like WTF, why didn't you say more crap to please the fans? Like, srsly, it's OUR problem that you cheated on your wife. We're REALLY disappointed in you, where's our box of chocolates and out of court settlement??!

I would respond "why should i look it up when i can have a conversation with someone i respect and admire in the process of him telling me about it?"
