On further reflection, the shittiest people convince everyone else that everyone else is shitty. Or enough of us, at least.
Another good response is: "Why do you hate Americans? Why do you think Americans are lazy, greedy, morally weak scum? Why do you keep saying that?"

I recall Pogue telling a story about Stoppard turning down a $US gig because he was committed to the BBC for something. Upon being informed he was foolish for choosing BBC TV over $US, he informed them that it wasn't for TV; it was radio.

I check it out myself and change my mind if I think it's right.
Hell, I used to vote Conservative (granted the Conservatives up here used to be, well, basically what the current Liberals in power are right now).

Except for the sea life, of course. Gotta travel for that.
And no rats. Ever. Never seen a live, wild rat.

Wolf, bison, black bear, brown bear, grizzly bear, moose in my front yard once, no end of mule and white-tailed deer, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, golden eagle, bald eagle, hawks and owls, orcas, seals, walruses, coyotes, muskrat, beaver...
I just got on a roll. Sorry. Alberta's pretty cool.

I would respectfully disagree, but even if it's true, it was a helluva trick and it would have been nice to see them try it once or twice. The WC final offensive game plan seemed pretty clearly to be "line up your backs so steeply you've lost ten metres before it gets to the centres, then kick."

The 6th pic, I kid you not, was a selfie taken of my back to check moles and skin tags.
So, thanks for that melanoma diagnosis, Dr. Happy.

Breakfast Pie: Cold Pizza
Savoury Pie: Any of hundreds of meat pies, maybe even a quiche, depending on how liberal you are with definitions
Sweet Pie: Chocolate Cream
Special Pie: There was already something in the cream pie that has you feeling good, and surprisingly peckish, but maybe wait a bit.

I think we managed an upgrade. Personally, I blame his game plan (wayyyyy too conservative - we had the world player of the year out on the wing and it was like they didn't want her to touch the ball) for losing us the 2014 final, and of course 2017 is best forgotten entirely.

My first car was a 1980 Impala. Underpowered, gas-guzzling, boxy, and I'd give my left leg to go back in time and take one more long drive with preferred company.
