America is all the history there is.
We are the past, present and future.
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.

Thought Sir Tim Berners Lee invented the internet. We won the Falklands, and lets face it if you're going to have a war its better to win than have to run away as the communist tanks roll into the grounds of your embassy.
I think as far as history goes you should pipe down. You kinda run out after a few hundred years.

Too cute for words
Real rednecks drive pickups with long, wide beds. This increases the intervals between having to back up at high speed and slam on the brakes with the tailgate down.Inkara1 said:I would love to see a 1975 Chevy Stepside with mud-bog tires, a gun rack and the Rebel Flag driving around downtown Tokyo.
1814 Norway's constitution was signed in the town of Eidsvoll.
The day is often referred to as the "children's day, the celebration usually puts the kids in focus, starting with parades, then we bring on the hot dogs, soda, ice cream, games and whatnot.
I shouldn't have had that last brownie. *burps*

Rule number one in dealing with rednecks. Never mention the words house and hunting in the same sentence.
