"The Pipers Little Friend" as it's affectionately become known amongst piping circles worldwide has rapidly become an indispensable part of the traditional music culture worldwide.

And for the record, Phillip would have done much better NOT to have worn it on his head. *sigh* What can one do but pray?!

Dear knnigggets and nonetheless our vassals of Angleterre, formerly known as Brittania.

Considering you're ready to elect about anything, as long as it's labelled "New", we hereby remind you that your allegiance is not due to the New Hereditary Crown of Ameriga, Inc. but to the Duc of Normandie, which we pray vous to spell out properlie since, when transcribed into your peasants' idiom, it makes us puc.
2) You may keep your Archbishop of Canterbury, as long as he behaves and doesn't support the group of terrorists known as "pilgrims".
3) Your tea, you may keep too, as long as you don't smoke it in public premises, and generally keep it in a safe, dry place: it gives cods a terrible aftertaste, same as mint on mutton.

(etc.)

The British are just a bunch of Germans in disguise, to whit:

You are welcome to respell
Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct
pronunciation.

and:

All American cars are hereby banned. They are cr*p and it is
for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand
what we mean.

and:

The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer, is not
actually beer at all, it is lager.

Come on, admit your true roots! Be proud! Be true! Be Deutsch!!

P.S., that was, like, pretty freaking funny.

P.P.S., I beg to differ, Budweiser is bubbly sake, not lager, as it is made with rice.

Rice isn't the primary ingredient. The primary ingredient is still malted barley. Other commercial breweries in the US use corn or corn syrup for the same crispening effect that Anheuser-Bush gets from rice. It's a "flavoring ingredient"...Lindeman's Cherry Lambic is still a lambic beer, even though it has cherries as a flavoring ingredient.

It's properly classified as an "American Lager"
(emphasis mine)
http://www.bjcp.org/finalstyles/Category01.html
(Beer Judge Certification Program)

Aroma: Little to no malt aroma, although it can be grainy, sweet or corn-like if present. Hop aroma may range from none to a light, spicy or floral hop presence. Low levels of yeast character (green apples, DMS, or fruitiness) are optional but acceptable. No diacetyl.

Appearance: Very pale straw to pale yellow color. White, frothy head seldom persists. Very clear.
...

Ingredients: Two- or six-row barley with high percentage (up to 40%) of rice or corn as adjuncts.
Commercial Examples: Miller High Life, Budweiser, Kirin Lager, Molson Golden, Corona Extra, Foster’s Lager

It's my own opinion that "American Lager" is another way of saying "P!$$ Water"

Robin, please quit insulting sake.

I believe those Clydsedales show up in the Budweiser ads under truth-in-advertising requirements, since they are intimately involved in the production of Budweiser. It's fairly obvious that it's been recycled at least once.

And Wanderer is quite right in his derivation of "American Lager"

If certain of us would prefer to be reabsorbed by Scotland, may we begin feeling oppressed by the crown right away?

Probably thought it would be hard to make Anglicanism the State Church.

Yeah Walden, you're probably right - but then HEY! We could have our own little holy war right here! I wanna be the first to blow up Provo! (an ultra-mormon town soth of here)
