We roast a chicken every sunday in britain

All the meal, every weekend, all year round, and then on Christmas we just multiply it by 10.

NO WONDER ENGLAND IS SO FAT

I'm not fat.

Also, in time-honoured tradition, (insert jibe about how Thanksgiving is really a celebration about stealing everything from the Native Americans).

Sorry, but it really kinda is.

I spoke to an American colleague at work today. I asked him if he was gonna celebrate Thanksgiving at home (not intending to be rude, just asking for sake of conversation), and HE said HE has a problem with Thanksgiving because of the aforementioned reasons BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO SAY ANYTHING.

So I'm not just being an asshole, 'kay?

Every year I wish for the Pikachu balloon to end up floating away and terrorizing the populace.

Maybe this'll be the year...

I want that balloon to end up at my house now.

Did Jay Sean look like he was lip-syncing?

How about that ramadan?

I hate the announcers now, they show NO emotion when describing Pikachu! Like they were reading it straight of the Pokemon website itself
