Re: Miscellany
Long time since I've read Lord of the Flies, although I recall enjoying it. It might not be a good representation of the human condition, but still might be a reasonable portrayal of what happens if the norms of a British boys' boarding school get free rein. As might the current Tory government.

Re: Miscellany
If you look at the shadows, you may notice that there may be a bit more room than it appear there is.
Still probably not enough to make it under the next overpass, though, but it’d probably only end up messing up the sign.

Difficulty to offend someone in the Anglosphere, from easiest to most difficult:
Scot.
American.
Canadian.
English.
Kiwi.
A turnip.
Australian.

Re: Miscellany
I was going to dispute the first of those, but then I remembered you can just call them English.

…also, super NSFW… but lol at the idea of anyone being at an office job right now

Re: Miscellany
lol
A lot of Canadians will respond similarly when mistaken for an American. (Very common in Europe, rhotic English, yo.)
The Kiwis I've known have been fairly good humoured for being mistaken for Aussies, though.

Your post count is 13 digits long in Roman numerals. In 2 more posts, it will be at 15 digits, and then it will drop down again.

Did
, like, do something today or something?
I gave son's girlfriend a ride to an appointment at 11:30 today, and the drive through line at Burger King was well out into the street. I'm sure I've driven past there around that time before, and that's not a normal lunch rush.
OMG, what if it was a promotion where they brought back the Angry Whopper for one day only and I missed it?

Missing out the Welsh:
offensive .
Missing out the Irish: anywhere from "I'll drink to that!" to a bomb under your car.
