Let me be the first to willingly submit to the domination and control of Her Majesty. Where do I sign? Think of all of the benefits. I'd lose 20 pounds in a heartbeat if I had to eat British Food day in, day out. Besides, maybe my kids would have a better chance of marrying up if surrounded by royalty.

Poor Salada Lipton... Quebec is that beautiful French Province you Americans tried three times to conquer... and failed. So much for that!

Oh, yeah, the US really misses Quebec. French fries with gravy?!

In France the heir apparent to the throne was called the Dauphin. In Britain he is called The Doofus. <BR>I had not heard that term in a while; not since my son graduated from high school. So thanks for reminding me of a funny word. He had several friends who were various degrees of "Doofus." <BR>I think the ultimate was "Stupid Ass Doofus," because it seemed to be a degree of two below "Dumb Doofus." <BR>I don't think baby Charley is stupid; I just think he was denied normal human role models and grew up spoiled rotten and immoral, complete with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old. <BR>I mean with old Prince Philip as a father, what is a poor boy to do?? <BR>Betcha Philip never kicked a football at Charley, or beat him at a game of checkers. (I knew I was growing up when my Dad quit letting me win.) <BR>But poor Charley grew up in such a way that to him turning on his own light switch is a hardship. <BR>

Well look on the bright side; you would get to play some decent sports and take part in world cups that the rest of the world takes part in, as opposed to watching the Kansas Inbreeds vs Chigago Crackheads in the "world series" of monster truck racing or whatever passes for a sport over there. <BR> <BR>On the down side; if you were part of the British team you wouldn't win any of them. <BR> <BR>Also; we could get rid of that arbitatry border between you and Canada. <BR> <BR>Can we colour (note spelling, there are going to be a lot of changes) the US pink on the map again now then?

For the uninformed. Americans play soccer, aka football. In case you had not heard, the womens team did rather well in World Cup competition. <BR>As for having British soccer (football) over here, no thanks. We have enough killing and riots for other reasons without introducing British hooliganism into our society. Drunken American football fans may be the norm, but rarely do they kill anybody. That happens at youth hockey games.

dave

same as here then. You wouldn't want to know about our cricket hooligans tho'. Five days of non-stop rampage, city centres decimated, all supplies of panama hats panic bought, not a rheumatism pill to be had for love nor money. It can get nasty.

Woe is me! I could never be a British subject: my teeth are beautiful, I hate tea, and I understand the punchlines to jokes. Love the Beatles, though. <BR> <BR>Why does Queen EII always carry those big, ugly granny purses?? Jeez they look dopey! <BR>
