USS Stargazer

[Mikey]

You could tell Deep wasn't around, because the name-calling came AFTER the tempers flared.

[Deepcrush]

Well someone has to help you guys out of those slow starts.

Its like watching old women driving in here somedays.

[Mark]

There there. Never fear my friend, I'm sure you'll be present for the next one

[Deepcrush]

I know I will, most likely because I'll start it.

How about now maybe,

Hey Seafort, the UK military sucks, france rules!

[Captain Seafort]

Hey Seafort, the UK military sucks, france rules!

I know. We're working on it. At least the UK wasn't created by a French victory.

[Sionnach Glic]

Zing!

Depending on your viewpoint, you could say it was - does the year 1066 ring a bell? Or would you prefer to say that England was conquered and settled by an upper class of Frenchmen?

[Mark]

Oooohhh, Ooooohhh, I wanna play too!

Q: Who can identify the Flag of France?
A: :::waving a white handkerchief::: I can!!!


:::disclaimer, unfortunately that one was not mine. A french friend of my mother, Jezell, told me that one years ago, just waiting for an oppertunity to use it :::

I rather point out that England was conquered and settled by yet another bunch of Norsemen. Who needed the country's resources to help fight wars against their uppity southern neighbour.

So, we'll ignore the fact that the Normans were, in fact, from Normandy? That's OK, I won't tell.

All kidding aside, just so you know, not all of modern America is ignorant of the French contribution in the American Revolution. In fact, there is a popular beachside resort town in my township called Lavallette, named for the Marquis de la Vallette.

I know several people that were STUNNED to find out that the Statue of Liberty was in fact from our French friend, and not built by the US.

At least we've never lost to the French!

[Captain Seafort]

At least we've never lost to the French!

No - you lost to the Canadian TA.

[Deepcrush]

When have we ever lost to Canada?

[Captain Seafort]

1812 - the might of the US regular army stormed across the boarder and was promptly sent packing by Isaac Brock and Tecumseh.
