One more year...

[Mikey]

...until Sonic Glitch can, just like Mikey and the Hawthorne Caballeros once did, drink the Reading Days Inn out of beer. And they couldn't resupply next day, because of Pennsylvania's idiotic dry Sunday laws...

*ahem* anyway,

Congratulations to: Sonic Glitch (20)

Happy Birthday, Sonic!

Thank you. As a matter of cosmic history coincidence, I'm actually heading to the Caballeros home show tomorrow. Spending the weekend camping in Jersey w/ some other members of the fraternity.

Nice. Even though they're not the top of the DCA class anymore, there's still something about seeing them in a single line and marching to the sideline at half-time playing Rumps.

Happy birthday, Sonic. 20 is a weird year: you aren't a teen anymore, but you still can't drink either. "Am I an adult or not!?"

I take it, then, that you're not counting that little inconvenience in the late 18th century?

We don't need an Empire when we can have legal drinks

Tsu's point proves beyond any shadow of doubt that you lost that one.

IDK, I just checked in my wallet and it doesn't appear that any of our currency has a picture of HRH on it.

Neither do we. Besides, whose face is on the money is utterly irrelevant to the matter at hand

Maybe not literally, but figuratively it's a statement of to whom we are or aren't subject. Namely, we're not subject to you any longer. Therefore, your scorecard is a bit out of whack. This, interestingly enough, is why we can call football "football" without worrying whether or not it is the same as the game which you call "football." See, when we had that little Revolution, we won. We can call the sport "your mom's hairy ass" if we wanted, except:
a) the etymology would be a bitch; and
b) the name's already taken by a yard game.

And yet, as this discussion proves, you lost out because of it. Ergo, Us: 1, You: 0.

Or, for that matter, whether foot and ball ever come into contact.

Hmm... higher drinking age vs. being subject to you guys... yeah, I think I'll call what we got a "win." I'd gladly accept the drinking age if it means avoiding things like black pudding, "bubble and squeak," and Graham Norton.

See above. We could have called it "screw the limeys" if we wanted.

As to the first point, I have a serious question: a Scottish market and restaurant recently opened in the next town over. Now, I will not eat haggis - I don't much care for any mutton- or lamb-derived foods in any case, and the idea of an artificial sheep's stomach (as are commonly used in haggis nowadays) seems somehow less appealing than a natural one. Any other suggestions for what to try?
