England Cannot Fail While The Cheese Still Rolls

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Many are worried in England and abroad that the English are forgetting who they are and fading away as a culture. I say that the Lion of England can never fall while the cheese still rolls. God save the Queen and protect us from the Nanny State.

Third shark attack in a month at a beach off Mexico. Story is actually calmer than normal, which is frustrating to the Shark’s chances of for the Summer of Fear title. They do manage to blame it on global warming which is a bonus factor this year.
