Why just the other day I was having dinner with some Saxons and Huns. It was disgusting, neither knew what to use for the oyster fork. The Hun chose a chablis with Chilean Sea Bass. The Saxon returned the pate stating that it was "greasy".

Oh, and then, right in the middle of our discussion on Byron, they both started arguing about NASCAR!!!

Never again, never again, never again...

Angles and Saxons and Jutes, oh my!!!

If you use Goggle earth, you can see a large army of Saxons gathering around the borders of Idaho.

My advice for the citizens of Idaho - better start hiding your women and sheep.

You're fine with the Saxons and sheep.

If it were the Celts you would be in deep trouble.

I'm appalled, this is slanderous. The Saxons are a perfectly nice people, who on a one to one basis are as friendly as anybody. Admittedly, when they've had a few mead, and get out in a group together, then some invading, pillaging and rape may occur, but one shouldn't let the behaviour of the few tarnish the reputation of many.

It's nothing to burn a cake over.

Everybody KNOWS that the Saxons are a bunch of good-for-nothing terrorists who think their god is the best one of all.

What is worse, they refuse to get into the modern age by taking their laptops on trips; they continue to use old fashioned paper maps to navigate from place to place; they act like tourists whenever they show up anywhere, especially in restaurants where they absolutely refuse to conform to the strict dress code being imposed by some of the other diners and yet..they get served just like everybody else? What is that all about?

Furhthermore they actually go places like Italy but are too stupid to go to Venice; they have been known to skip Paris for places like Berlin, and in Amsterdam they actually stay near the Red Light district and were overheard blaspheming the Vondel Park.

And worst of all: some of them actually plan a trip without asking for anyone else's help.
