Any Star Wars Authors British?

It's a shame you don't have any America left.









We drink milk with out pie, thank you very much.

 

do australians still put the british monarch on their money?

Psstt...She's on the currency because she's the Queen of Australia not the "British Monarch".

Nothing wrong with sharing a Head of State with another country....especially when they're paying the upkeep.

 

I think he's talking about a game - baseball, I suspect.

Oh, Americans and their "sports"! Next thing they'll be talking about that sissy football game they play with big helmets and padding.

Why can't they play real football? We'd even let them play against the Under-12 Girls team to start with....

 

Oy! This thread can't be going anyplace good

 

Yeah... tell us in the "United Statian" language instead.

 

I'd be willing to bet that a soccer player would want pads if being charged by a 300+ pound American Football player. Basically it comes down to not dying.

Though I never got why soccer has such a bad rep here in the states. It's more exciting to watch than baseball. Dunno.

Anyway, I guess the answer is, there's Karen Traviss and not many others.

 

Soccer and Football are just Rugby for Whimps, yeah that's a real mans sport!
Seriously though who cares, hey?

 

And Rugby is just the SCA for wimps! Pah, running around with a ball like a bunch of squirrels who found a nut. I'd rather be charging into the enemy shieldwall with my hammer a'swinging.

 

I did a Google search to find out what the SCA was...here's what I came up with.

Society for Creative Anachronisms, Inc.
The Student Conservation Association
Sexual Compulsives Anonymous
Scottish Canoe Association
The Sydney College of the Arts

So yes, I agree. Rugby is any of the above for wimps.

 

I assumed it was some mando thing, but yeah uh don't mess with the conservationists, you'll only regret it (if you survive).

 

Though Yank Football is not truly considered "sport," when the practitioners thereof are being paid SALARIES. It's merely a sanitized gladiatorial combat exhibition.

The very concept of "sports" on TV, as a sublimatory outlet for people who need more exercise -- but choose instead to sit still and further pollute themselves with salt, fat, sugar, and alcohol -- is best regarded as an Evil Communist Plot aimed at the final destruction of our nation.

Every time you sit still for a few hours and watch paid performers in safety armor disputing ownership of an inflated object of no intrinsic value, you personally hack another chip out of the very foundations of our society.

If you *need* to take part in confrontational exercises, even vicariously, the *least* you could do is get a few horses and like-minded friends together and engage in a bit of Buzkashi.

This would at least help keep alive basic skills that our society will need when the Socialist Brits invade to steal our gasoline and our dentists.

And it depends on what "sports" are involved. The Aussies traditionally whip the Limeys in any form of team-based gladiatorial combat, whether it's rugby or cricket; but on the other hand, the Limeys still have Scotland to draw on for world-champion caber-tossers and haggis-eaters, so there will be at least a few events where they'll be able to keep their chins up.

 

problem with the americans is... they eat so much pie that too many of them are obese... the state of West Virginia is planning on putting Dance Dance Revolution machines in middle schools as a strategy to fight childhood obesity.

at any rate, be proud of where you come from, even if you put someone else's queen on the money.

 

*shakes head with a sad look* what have I done...all this from one simple question *bursts into tears*













BTW, everyone knows it goes Britain>America>Australia just for clarification purposes

And thats coming from an american

 

Though the Isle of Man was once a sovereign state ruled by kings who originated in Scandinavia. In 1406, it passed into the possession of Sir John Stanley, Earl of Derby, and remained their property (as a separate principality, not a possession of the English crown) until it was inherited by the Duke of Atholl in 1736, who sold it to the Brits in 1765.

<innocent look> Tell me, are the gold mines still in operation?

I wouldn't want to work Down Under unless the pay or the fringe benefits were decent...

If I were placed in charge down there, my first official acts would be to create a directly specie-backed currency, eliminate income tax, augment government-operated education and medical-care and welfare systems, and order the execution of every politician who ever voted in favor of any sort of gun control.

Then I'd order a Constitutional Convention of the five or six remaining politicians, and toss them a copy of the U.S. Constitution to use as a model, with particular attention to the ten sections of the Bill of Rights. (We had a pretty good country over here when we were still abiding by it.)

Once it was in effect, I'd abdicate in favor of an elected official, take my gold, and move to Switzerland.

 

Tell 'em, james!!

::eats some apple pie::

Ate the pie, Copoper . . . or something else?

 

Pick 'im off at second?

 

Abbot and Costello has a funny baseball comedy act, and I had it, until I lost my codec. Not I can't read it.

 

It's absolutely classic.

 

That's the whose on first, whats on second one right?

 

Don't forget I don't know on third

 

I'll grant that I can't remember where I got the stealing third joke from, but it wasn't Who's on First. It was something related to a person's message being hard to understand.

My most embarrassing typo yet.

Yep, that's the transcript, but it's not the same as hearing it on clip.

 

Now THAT is comedy gold

Watching the video of this skit is a thousand times funnier though, but thanks for the link!
