Hey, if they hadn't been successful, we'd be tied up in this mad media junket.

I could have sworn that the media announced the result a couple of days ago. What's going on now is just good citizens following the instructions of their TVs.

Incidentally, do you think that if we carry on like this, the seismologists will be able to determine Thomas Paines final resting place?

The revocation of Independence charter was consumed by its own overly-wordy dead weight, like a verbiage black hole. No wonder no one knew about it... it disappeared into quantum nothingness before it could impact anybody.

(And trust me, as an e-book author, I know whereof I speak...)

Scotland FTW!

When I retire, I'm gonna buy myself a farm in Scotland and move there, raise sheep, possibly goats, Bernese Mountain Dogs and drink scotch!

And I'll wear a kilt every day!

Frilly bloomers or ruffled bloomers? There is a difference. Frilly implies lace and ribbons. Ruffles tend to have less...well, frills. And you are talking about wearing them on your head, right?
