Knights in white trainers

[cosmolinguist]

The next time anybody feels the need to inform me of the fact that they think American holidays are silly and Americans celebrate them in silly ways, I hope I remember to tell them that today I saw a bunch of guys walk into Wetherspoons dressed like knights out of Monty Python (the scruffy trainers under their red-and-white robes adding particularly to the Pythonesque effect).

Remember, kids: No country has a monopoly on being silly or looking for excuses to skip work, dress up, or start drinking lager at breakfast time.

Can we start drinking other styles of beer at breakfast time too?

Oh, I wish I had seen that. It would have been excellent - those kinds of weirdness are what helps reminds me of the purpose of the universe.

I am curious what people think are silly ways to celebrate an American holiday. I mean, we like a good firework or a slap-up turkey dinner in the UK just as much as anyone else, apparently *blinks*

But...but..I thought the PC Brigade had stolen St George's day to the Moslems in order to lower house prices, allow Islamic ray guns and make everyone gay.
And have Clarkson Sacked.

I call bullshit on your pathetic attempt at making the UK look as silly as the US.

They'd have been arrested by special police. That nice bloke on Fox said so.
