Monty Python’s The Life of Brian.
Do you have to be beaten over the head? FUCKING GOOGLE IT, YANK!
Kidding. I’m American. And I have no idea what this is from, or about. In fact I’ve already forgotten what it even said.
Brits wearing googles, Canadians in drag. You kids need to get some better hobbies. 
Our hobbies are PERFECTLY FINE! hmmmmph, storms away 
Umm, I think if I Googled “I’m BrainGlutton…” etc., I probably wouldn’t get my answer.
But at least now we’re all having fun with it. 
I’m Spartacus!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!

Yes, but who’s Al Beit? And who’s a broad?
I recently politely answered a Canadian’s question about why the U.S. was having elections when Bush’s term runs to 2009. I now know that I should have responded, “You dumbshit, why don’t you fucking google it?” Thank you for the etiquette update.
No, no! Al Gore played the dying chick in Love Story.
I thought the ruskies had invented Google. Or at least one of them was a Russian.
Google results for BrainGlutton .
It seems to prefer Barrington for some reason.
Uh, no. TCP/IP is the Internet. If the networking system predates the invention of TCP/IP, it by definition is not the Internet.
I never claimed Cerf and Kahn invented computer networking. Neither did my cite. I claimed they invented the Internet, and they did that by inventing the foundational protocols.
I thought Al Gore invented that literary device that you use when you talk about one thing, but really secretly mean something else. With symbolism and stuff. Like with Animal Farm or The Crucible.
One final thing: Of course someone else would have gotten there if they hadn’t been around. The same is true of Edison, Ford, Newcomen, and Franklin. They did get there, however, and their protocols took off. “Time and chance happens to everyone,” as the book of Ecclesiastes says.
arsing?
sounds fun!
Allego-- oh. I just got it. :smack:
Whoops. This pitting is probably my fault.
Note to self; link to wikipedia when citing famous brits.
To be fair on the poor OP, Blunkett is probably the biggest news at the moment over here (well, not including the backbench rebellion*). Are you saying if a non-american asked who Rove, or DeLay, were, they wouldn’t get roundly insulted for being thick? Or told to go google it?
*Not an actual rebellion. Well, there were no swords, anyway.
Good for you! I didn’t see that thread before. And you know I didn’t really mean all Mericans, I was just been snarky.
You are, of course, more polite and knowledgeable than me. But IMVHO, some things require an explanation, such as the example you gave, when other things are more easily googleable – such as Blunkett.
Not at all! Besides, wikipedia isn’t the be-all and end-all.
Who’s Rove? No wait – I kills meself. Hahahaha.
I’m the dumbshit whose question you answered. I really do appreciate it, too.
Next time, Fortean, I’ll Google it since I don’t know any better.
