@haseen, regardless, I'm not even going to try. I don't think it's actually possible to get high enough to make sense of ... *flailing one arm* that.

As for Palin's quote, well, there aren't enough drugs in the world to make that make sense. Well, maybe those "bath salts" might. Or datura. Bath salts make stealing raw chicken from the market, flinging said chicken at passersby and passing cars, then smuggling a chainsaw in your pants to go cut your mother-in-law's head off seem rational. |

Palin is currently on Fox News Sunday and was asked about the Revere goofup. Her comment was essentially this(paraphrased because I can't remember exact words), "I was right, Revere did warn the British. The British troops had been in Boston for 7 years, everyone knew they were already here. Revere was warning the British that they didn't stand a chance." <facepalm>

You had food up your ass? riposte, that. Indeed. ;D Palin is currently on Fox News Sunday and was asked about the Revere goofup. Her comment was essentially this(paraphrased because I can't remember exact words), "I was right, Revere did warn the British. The British troops had been in Boston for 7 years, everyone knew they were already here. Revere was warning the British that they didn't stand a chance." <facepalm> Now I just have an image in my head of Revere monologuing to tied-up Redcoats on a conveyor belt. |

That us the most Wonderful Palin quote I've heard yet. Better than the one about the bailout or the one about our North Korean "allies"? |

I may be wrong but, "he would blow my brains out" doesn't sound like the kind of english they used in those days. |

Yeah, it should be: "Verily hee wouldde bloweth mine brainsse outte." That's how people always talked in the past.

Somehow I doubt she knows any of that. She probably thinks Longfellow is the pirate from "Treasure Island." I'd be impressed if she knew Treasure Island more then just a movie with Muppets. ...wait, it is?  |

Yeah, it should be: "Verily hee wouldde bloweth mine brainsse outte." That's how people always talked in the past. That's what William Henry Ireland thought too, when he was forging Shakespearean documents. Even though he and Revere lived only a few years apart. But certain phrases are older than you'd think. I was surprised to find "put that in your pipe and smoke it" in a Sherlock Holmes story (The Solitary Cyclist). |
