Yep, Happy 4th to everyone! We're going to a pool party and cook out and, being British, perhaps I should just drink tea and look hostile, or, better yet, dress up as Princess Leia ...you know...The Empire Strikes Back!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Have a great day all!!!

Our Second Anniversary

I want to succeed in America where, unlike Britain, they do not regard ambition as being the same as eating babies.

The National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, people do," but I think the gun helps, you know? I just think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it? You'd have to have a really dodgy heart to have that happen.

There's a huge hole in the whole Flood drama, because anything that could float or swim got away scot-free, and it was the idea to wipe out everything, He didn't say, "I will kill everything, except the floating ones and the swimming ones, who will get out due to a loophole."
