"It's raining, it's pouring,
the old man is snoring,
etcetera, etcetera…"
It's pretty well known, even here in this Podunk of nations, that the British Empire once spanned the globe 'n spawned the phrase, "The sun never sets on the British Empire!"
I wuz just thinkin' about the fuss bein' made over the oh, so British remarks made by Mr. Piers Morgan who, it is assumed, came uninvited to this hinterland of ours in search of fame 'n fortune that has eluded him in his homeland. Of course, it's prob'ly only fair to concede that if it wudn't for the Brits, us Amurrican's 'ud no doubt still be eating raw meat with our fingers 'n belching after every bite (t'show our appreciation) 'n washing every bite down with Coca-Cola (Amurrican table wine of choice)…I'm thinkin' howsumever, that not too many of us coarse Amurricans'ud be so rude as to invite ourselves to someone's home 'n then criticize the lodgings but, maybe it's just me…
As I recall, Mr. Morgan wuz sumwhat indignant when Mitt Romney, after being asked, suggested that the British could possibly tighten up a wee bit on the security for the Olympics…of course, he wudn't alone in being indignant, as I recall, NBC wuz kind'a derisively indignant also, but that's another story…
And I'm not suggesting that all Brits are rude…they aren't, after all, they are not French 'n not even all the French are rude, just the Parisians 'n they're rude to everyone including themselves….
And lest sumone misconstrues, I'm not criticizing (critisizing in Brit?) Mr. Morgan even if he does have an admittedly odd first name…He has every right to live 'n work here 'n criticize our government if he wishes….Oh, wait a minnit! He wudn't criticizing our government, he wuz criticizing all us gun-toting, bible-thumping rebels that kicked England out of our business two hundred 'n fifty years ago….ah well, live 'n let live, I almost always say….
What it is, is the day after Christmas when me 'n da boyz have been practicing our hibernation skills 'n kind'a failing at it….
