I was watching CNN last night and on the bottom of the screen where it scrolls its "headline ticker", I saw a very funny thing. I couldn't help but think to myself, "stupid limeys"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1589133.stm

I don't think that news article mentions it, but CNN reported something like 360,000 limeys listed Jedi as their religion.

Christians from all over the UK are getting ready to take part in a night of celebration for the most ridiculed yellow person ever to walk the streets of Springfield.

Ned Flanders chic has arrived


The guy who does Ned Flanders voice touched on this during the Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo.

The Jedi thing was due to a rumour (untrue) that they could get it listed as an official religion. Instead, they just get lumped in with the atheists, which goes to show that the Dark Side are well in control in UK beurocracy.

for internal purposes only they had a separate coding for jedi, simply to save themselves time.

Yeah, well there's apparently a British campaign to try to encourage them all to examine their shit. "Don't blush, look before you flush"?!?!

The Jedi thing doesn't seem so odd to me now.

What if you use an outhouse and can't see your shit down in deep shit hole?

Cage, I hope your waterpipes freeze and you have to shit on the living room carpet. Then you'll be like "Oh! I sure wish I had a shithouse."
Shithouses are a good real estate investment.

Christ, if you're that worried about it, but a fucking webcam in the shitter. Then when you're done downloading your brownware, you can go back inside and see if you have colon cancer or not.

And if my pipes freeze, there are any number of restaurants or bars I can walk to. Or I can drive 4 minutes to the office. That's precisely why I live in the city. So I never have to shit on my living room rug. That doesn't mean I can't if I want to, I just never HAVE to...

Yokel.

They do in Boston. That's what distinguishes a real Bostonian. They know how to get around and find parking in the city. Suburbanites and newbies take the T (the subway).
