Cant say ive been in town long enough recently really. If im in town im probably drunk, and for one of those fat *** pigeons to land on me would be like trying to navigate onto a flag pole in a hurricane as i would be swaying too much. I did see one in Stafford land on my sisters head, as she stood there freaking out it stole the cake from her hand and ate it on her head. Then if that wasnt enough it left her a goodbye 'present' on the back of her jacket.

I hate not having money... cause I really need money for FABLE 2, SvR08, Assassin's Creed, DBZBT3, and Rock Band.

I hate seagulls, the Killer Attack Squirrels of DC, and the Attack Geese of [Name censored to protect the un-innocent] Pond.

The Killer Attack Squirrels are much like your pigeons, only creepier (I was assaulted by one as a young child. He wanted my ham sandwich). The Attack Geese are just grumpy.

And I hate seagulls because they're so much like god's dive bombers. Though it is fun to try to nail them with bread. And certain people take malicious delight in, while visiting the American side of Niagara Falls, trying to get them to land (water) close to the brink for bread.

Seagulls - depending on the variety, they get bolder and more brash with every waking minute...I've seen gulls with feathers stuck to their beaks and a distinct drop in numbers compared to a previous occasion...I reckon they harbour cannibalistic tendencies...just to get them ready for their first human meal...

I hate people who spell colour wrongly, even the damn spelling correction is corrupted its COLOUR people not color the English invented that word (probably) and the English spelling it will remain.

(Redneck/hick/hillbilly/unedumacated person imitation) Screw them there Brits! Us Murikuns spell it right!

I do disagree, though. Sure, changing centre to center doesn't make much difference, nor does changing realisation to realization (well, that one does change it to match the pronunciation); but color and favorite and the rest have the benefit of being shorter.

Anyway, I'm an American, so why would I use a spelling out of date (in the US) since Webster wrote his dictionary?

And actually, according to the bit of Wikipedia I just read, some differences came from francophile 19th century Victorian Britain, and were changed after we ceased to be part of the same country. And that probably wouldn't have affected us even if we had been one country, since we're too far from France to cross-pollinate languages by any route save telecom and immigration. Oh, or Quebec and the Louisiana Creoles.

We also seem to have some words that originated in the UK, fell out of style there, and we kept. Fall, candy, and crib are the ones I saw that I give the most credence. I know I never say "autumn" and I'm not really sure what else you'd call candy or a crib.

Damn, I just gibbered about language for awhile.

Hmmm... cannibalistic seagulls plotting to eat mankind? I can believe that.

There once was a lady who lived in a shoe...
WTF who lives in a F***ing shoe? I hate that old lady.

[FableFreak]

I hate people who attempt to kick me in the groin. I don't hate those who have kicked me in the groin though. Why you may ask? Because they are now rotting in my basement.
