Thank you for your service.

How would you know? The only way to verify this is to actually watch something from the last twenty years of The Simpsons, and nobody's going to do that.

Liquid cheese? Oceans of Cheese Whiz?

I'm imagining situations like that episode of Seinfeld with the BO car. He couldn't even get people to steal that thing.

The broccoli I buy is Belgian, anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to get more Canadian stuff when the weather warms up.

To be fair, the crickets were being held unjustly.

But you see, America is the Greatest Country in the World™, and therefore anyone they elect as President can't be that bad. It doesn't matter if he repeatedly states how he absolutely will be that bad, he won't actually do the things he says he'll do because those things Can't Happen Here.

Just take a common word and remove a vowel or two. That's still hip, right?

I think I'll need a bigger box.

I think he said "Oh bother."

Even the US, with their absurdly bloated military, only spends 3.4% of their GDP.

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say:–
"We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:–
"Though we know we should defeat you,
we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:–

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

Rudyard Kipling

Anyone who's seen the last 30 years of American history? It's all about doing the minimum effort, patting yourselves on the back and then expecting the world to see you as a beacon of justice and liberty.

Go to Chia-Earth and you can get it for free.

Time to invest in some shiny pants.

And they pissed off their northern neighbours a bit too much.
