Comment on my Facebook wall.

For the Win.

[Little Star]

1. lol

[Logical]

2. LOL. n-t

[Paladin]

3. Jeez, Will, don't give them any ideas..... (nt)

[krispos42]

4. Only if you use the Freedom language

You're in the United States, learn to speak Freedom!

[MNBrewer]

9. I no longer speak English. I speak American.

dammit.

[krispos42]

10. American?

Or Amurrrrykan?

[MNBrewer]

12. Or 'Merkin?

[krispos42]

13. *looks up "merkin"*

Ahhhh... okay.


I speak Merkin, but I'm hard to understand.

[xocet]

26. How about Freenglish? n/t

[sufrommich]

5. Except in this case americans agree with the brits.

So,yeah,that makes no sense.

[treestar]

24. +1

DU default - let's be victims. Overlooked that here we are not. No one is saying that. But let's pretend they are so we can indulge.

[n2doc]

6. Yep. And Canadian Bacon become Freedom Bacon!

ahhh.....free....bacon....drool.....

[carolinayellowdog]

7. time to outlaw the English language as subversive

Freedomish is the language of genuine patriots

[OmahaBlueDog]

8. It's not Britain -- it's those commoners in Labour

If we had King William and Queen Kate in charge, you could bet bombs with the Union Jack would be falling, straightaway. Prince Harry would see to it personally.

Meanwhile - It damn sure means a Downton Abbey boycott

[Ghost Dog]

17. Sure, you would not be obliquely referring to the likes of the Orange William,

would you now?

... His reign marked the beginning of the transition from the personal rule of the Stuarts to the more Parliament-centred rule of the House of Hanover...

[OmahaBlueDog]

37. Certainly that's where most of the problems started.

Why oh why couldn't the House of Commons be the figurehead, and the House of Lords be given the real power? Better governance, and (frankly) better BBC mini-series potential.

[woo me with science]

38. I'm sure they're working on it. nt

[MNBrewer]

11. The Freedom Horn!

[yellowcanine]

20. But I thought this was the Freedom Horn!

This is all so confusing.

[MNBrewer]

21. That's going to make orchestra rehearsal very confusing.

[demwing]

14. Yes, and we now all official speak "Freedom" ...

and our schools will only teach courses in Freedom Literature and Freedom Composition.

On the bright side, English-Only advocates have all become Freedom-Only advocates, and subsequently decided that people should be free to speak whatever language they damn well prefer. In the ensuing confusion, the advocates all went home with nasty headaches, and promised to never bother the rest of us again.

[MyshkinCommaPrince]

41. I had to give my sister some Freedom lessons last week.

She needed to brush up on some things in preparation to study French. Do we need to call French "Freedom", too? She's brushing up on Freedom to learn Freedom. This could be fun. Has to be good for confusing your pets, or something, at least.

[pinboy3niner]

15. DUzy!

[zeemike]

16. And when you make that pool shot

Put some left hand freedom on it.

[yellowcanine]

19. I promise I didn't see your "spin" on "English" when I wrote my post.

[yellowcanine]

18. How about English bicycles and British sports cars and putting some English on the bowling ball?

Put some Freedom on that bowling ball!

[treestar]

23. Brings back memories

When I was a kid, it was cool to have an "English" bike!

At the time, it meant having gears and thin tires.

[yellowcanine]

47. Three gears and within the hub gear changer. When it broke you were stuck with high gear only.

Bummer that was. And they all broke eventually if you rode them very much.

[treestar]

22. We would if the President were Republican

And the media was beating the war drums in consequence.

[Buenaventura]

25. Isn't he? n/t

[Cha]

45. You poor thing.

[Cha]

46. Yeah, as it is.. it's the French who are behind President Obama so

what are they, who are against the President, going to do about their French Fries?

[itsrobert]

27. Freedom Bulldog

[RebelOne]

39. I will have to tell my son to change the breed's name.

He breeds English and French Bulldogs.

[JoeyT]

43. Well that's going to get confusing.

It'll be like a scene from The Dictator. "What kind of dog is this?" "It's a cross between a Freedom Bulldog and a Freedom Bulldog."

[Stuckinthebush]

28. Damn straight, Skippy

Enjoy your Freedom muffins, Freedom tea, and Freedom peas.

Damn Brits.

I'm going outside to trim my Freedom Ivy.

[heaven05]

29. yep. LOL

[LearningCurve]

30. Don't forget, we need to change Irish Setters and Scotch Tape As Well

I love the delicious irony of Freedom Tape and who wouldn't want a Freedom Setter as a pet?


I didn't want to exclude Wales, but I could come up with nuthin.

[11 Bravo]

33. Freedom rarebit?

[LearningCurve]

34. That'll have to do

[erpowers]

31. Old England vs. New England

Those who supported David Cameron on this issue can be a part of New England while those who opposed him can be a part of Old England. For those who do not get my point, I am making a reference to Donald Rumsfeld's statement that the European countries that opposed the invasion of Iraq were a part of Old Europe.

[11 Bravo]

32. And hereafter the Brits shall be known as "Beef-boiling appeasement poodles"!

[theaocp]

35. Did we declare our independence from Freedom

in 1776? How ironic.

[JHB]

36. Winning has a well-known Colbert bias

Colbert Proposes 'Freedom Muffins' As Oil Spill Strains U.S.-U.K. Relations (VIDEO)
First Posted: 06/16/10 12:55 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:45 PM ET

As fallout from the BP oil spill continues to strain relations between the U.S. and England, Stephen Colbert has proposed re-naming English muffins "freedom muffins" until the nations smooth things over.

On Monday's edition of The Colbert Report, the political satirist went on to use details of Saturday's infamous U.S. versus England World Cup match -- which ended in a 1-1 tie, but was curiously lauded as a U.S. win by the New York Post -- as emblematic of the more adversarial terms by which both nations have been corresponding since the spill.

"Let's just say the oil was a ball, and our coastline was a goal," Colbert joked.

[Zorra]

40. I'm looking forward to some hot "Freedom bangers". nt

[Rex]

42. LOL!

[madinmaryland]

44. Heh! The coach of the New Freedom Patriots is video taping this!! Will trumad change his

avatar once again with the phins lose to the New Freedom Patriots??
