Ultimately Off-Topic VII: The Miles Frontier

[RockyBanks]

Nah I still have to work so that sucks. At least we got comics this week.

America disapproves.

We had our Thanksgiving weeks ago ;)

What day is Thanksgiving? It's my birthday on Saturday, the 24th November. Is that the same day as Thanksgiving?

I think on that day, regardless of where we live, it would be nice if we all show our gratitude for certain American creations. Like Marvel, DC, Image, God of War, 500 Days of Summer, Crispy Cream Doughnuts, The Matrix, Quentin Tarantino, The Marshal Mathers LP, Guns & Roses, Back To The Future and your excellent, excellent food industry. I want to go on Holiday in America just so I can eat all your wonderful food. I think it would be cool if the entire world for one day were happy about America and its accomplishments instead of complaining about it all the time. There's undoubtably something about America for everyone to be thankful for.

Do Canada celebrate Thanksgiving?

In the US, Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November (the 22nd this year). Canada's is on the second Monday of October.

I'm down for that, and would gladly reciprocate. For such a small island, you guys have had an inordinate impact on world history and culture. I'd give my left arm to come visit sometime; the few hours I've spent in Heathrow hardly count.

So what everyone's thoughts on the upcoming Bendis/Hitch Age of Ultron?
Hitch hasn't been that relevant for awhile now. I'm not sure if his artwork is the right fit. Ever since his ultimates work his own artwork can't compare to it. It already reached it's max and it feels like anything else he draws is just lower quality art.

Coming from Texas, I suggest you bring a very warm coat.

A lot of people from Europe like the UK because of how hilly it is compared to most of Europe which is quite flat. I was really surprised at how well we did in the Olympics, considering our reasonably small population. We came third, just behind the US and China.

I'm often very impressed by the British gaming industry. Nowadays I buy more British games than Japanese, which I never thought I'd end up doing. I'm also extremely proud of our music and our actors. However our motor vehicle companies are now practically non-existent. We haven't made a good car in decades. Most of us blame Margaret Thatcher for our massive decline in ingenuity and exportation. Thanks to her, we've got very little profits coming into the country, except for what we make via warfare. Practically every business is in a state of monetary decline. In average, 26 pubs/bars go out of business every week, and every few days a huge multi-billion pound business goes bankrupt, despite the growing popularity of our entertainment.

I love British period dramas. ^_^

Tell me about it dude. I have to work 9 hours on Thanksgiving. At least I'm getting paid time and a half for it.

Yes! I'm glad it sounds like they're fast tracking this line of books now. MOAR!

I like British music (Muse, Jamie T, and Enter Shikari to name a few), television (Sherlock!), and film (Snatch, This is England, many more). I can't say much about your food though seeing as I've only been to England once when I was about 13.

I love Muse. They're one of my favourite bands and I love the songs they've been pumpin out recently. Their newer stuff more influenced, but I think they're all the better for it. I've been singing 'Uprising' a lot lately, really loud in the shower and on the landing when I come out of the shower. It gets me in a good mood before I start my day.

Yeah This Is England is great. I love how it was about friendship. Woody was a very likable character. I also liked how it sort of explained the ugly, stupid, dick-head-ish-ness of some of the racial hatred within the UK. There is quite a lot of general ignorance amongst men between the ages of about 45 and 65 in the UK who often get drunk and complain about immigrants, military, terrorists and shit. They're hateful human beings who drink heavily and often show their disgust for Thatcher, her selling the country out to Europe back in the eighties and the war in the Falklands. There are more brown people in the UK than white, so it's a pretty cultured country, but the News doesn't really help when it complains about immigrants. There are a lot of stupid folk in Britain who are mostly older men, and they blame everything on immigrants, arabs, asians, the lot. However nowadays, in the 21'st Century, those stupid old ****s are dying of liver failiure or some shit, and their beliefs are dying with them. So good riddance to them.. Have you seen This Is England '86 TV series. It was a short series but it was brilliant. All the characters from the film are in it too but a little older. It explores each of the characters a little more and it's absolutely superb. And because it's 1986, the World Cup is on the telly. Ever heard of the Goal of Maradona? You'll laugh when you watch it. :}
