To quote a Professor Elemental song; "See we used to have an empire, but we got a little cocky. Like haha, Johnny foreigner, I'd like to see you stop me!"
Not embedding the video out of respect for your holidays.
I'm not up on my history, but I believe this is how you crossed the Delaware.
Yes, the grill provided enough smoke to cover the forces. The scent of delicious BBQ distracted all the hungry soldiers as well.I'm not up on my history, but I believe this is how you crossed the Delaware.

Take that, you damned Brits!

Hey don't bring reality into the fireworks partyAs bad as things are over there, it is better than what is going on here. There they at least have health insurance, no tipping culture, women have control over their bodies, and have good public transportation
Read somewhere that independence from the British is the most celebrated non-religious holiday in the world.Nearly half the world celebrates freedom from you fuckers.
You're welcome, world!Read somewhere that independence from the British is the most celebrated non-religious holiday in the world.

Ancient Romans.

a.) Simpsons Did It means when you say someone did something before that was the same. Ie:A) Either I had a stroke just now and forgot how to read, or that make not sentence much does sense. (the first part)
B) I mean, I acknowledge it, but if you go far enough back England was all just happy little druids until Big Rome showed up and built straight roads everywhere.

It certainly was!![]()
I stopped watching South Park when I was 12, so no wonder it was lost on me.
Chef Aid was a banger of an album, though.
LEAVE ITALIANS ALONELook, can we not stop this senseless slander of Britain and place blame on the true monsters?
Ancient Romans.
Not all Italians. Just the really old ones.LEAVE ITALIANS ALONE
The Romans walked so that the British Empire could suck the world of its resources for its own enrichment.Look, can we not stop this senseless slander of Britain and place blame on the true monsters?
Ancient Romans.
Someone posted a thread in r/movies a week or so ago wondering why Italian Americans like Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are never cast to play Ancient Romans while British actors are, and they refused to accept that the Italians of today (and especially Italian Americans from New York City) are nothing like Ancient Romans. If anything, modern day Italians are descendants of old Germanic tribes as the Germanic people took over the Western Roman empire after numerous conquests. Which would kinda make British actors pretty well suited to portray Ancient Romans as they're much closer in language than Americans... and especially Italian Americans from NYC.Not all Italians. Just the really old ones.
Makes sense. I believe I heard the same general premise around William Shakespeare probably sounding more like a hick from the Appalachians than your current eloquent British accent.Someone posted a thread in r/movies a week or so ago wondering why Italian Americans like Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are never cast to play Ancient Romans while British actors are, and they refused to accept that the Italians of today (and especially Italian Americans from New York City) are nothing like Ancient Romans.

What has the Romans ever done for us?!Look, can we not stop this senseless slander of Britain and place blame on the true monsters?

Define "old?"Not all Italians. Just the really old ones.
Now, I kinda wanna hear Shakespeare talk like a hick from West Virginia. Imagine Romeo and Juliet but it's all hicks.Makes sense. I believe I heard the same general premise around William Shakespeare probably sounding more like a hick from the Appalachians than your current eloquent British accent.
Like, 2040 year's old, not 40 year old. Kinda why I specified Romans and not Italians.Define "old?"
I'm an old Italian is why I ask.
I kinda do too.Now, I kinda wanna hear Shakespeare talk like a hick from West Virginia. Imagine Romeo and Juliet but it's all hicks.
It's not really hick, more pirate.
It's not really hick, more pirate.
Yes, but those from Rome are still Romans.Like, 2040 year's old, not 40 year old. Kinda why I specified Romans and not Italians.
It's not really hick, more pirate.
English farmer, you say?
Tangentially reminded me of the Mainer saying "You can't get there from here."Legitimately sounds like rural Newfoundland ers to me. Me and my friend were driving thru and stopped to ask some old fella for directions. We ended up thanking him and driving away, neither of us having any idea what he was saying apart from the odd word here or there.
My abstract algebra professor in college absolutely hated Rome and he went on about how he got a C on a paper when he was in college and his Latin class that went on about how he hated the Romans and they were savages, because they murdered Archimedes while he was working on a problem.Look, can we not stop this senseless slander of Britain and place blame on the true monsters?
Ancient Romans.
There's got to be soooooo much of that in history. Incredible people poised to revolutionize the world before anyone dreamed possible, then snuffed out because of ignorant dickholes.Also learned that Archimedes had started to develop calculus basically and I can only imagine where Math Science and Technology would be if calculus came along much earlier than it did
