I really think so...

I think I’m turning English.

This evening I heard a couple of jokes about the legendary messenger who ran from Marathon to Athens, thus supposedly creating the institution of the marathon.

And ever since then, I’ve wanted a Snickers bar.

You've already turned, Love, and not just because you used sod and bollocks to wonderful effect in your last post.

I wouldn't normally use bollocks (in the anatomical sense like this, I do occasionally like it in the to-say-something-is-bullshit sense) except I was talking to a British person and that changes my vocabulary a lot. I don't think about it, I don't mean it to, I'm not even sure I like it, but it does.

No, you are Minnesotish. A glorious hybrid that goes to eleven. All Minnesotan, all Brit. (there has to be an equation that will mess with reality to give 11 )
All is infinite.

(crikey my comments are getting pompous)

If it's any consolation, I don't think they are likely to make a lot of sense to people who aren't me. :) And I don't think they're pompous, of course; I think they're great.

I refused to eat Marathon after they changed the name to Snickers, and I've stuck to that ever since. I can't wait to see what Kraft do to all the Cadbury brands. Bastards.
