The show takes place in Monterey I believe. though I don’t think that is the Bay Area as we know it, it is the Monterey Bay Area, not the San Francisco Bay Area

What could you possibly mean by that? Berlin is one of the world’s most international, multi-lingual, progressive cities. You elected this moron. You. Not us.

Fielding’s references both in his comedy and appearance were way too British for a general American audience not made up of hardcore Anglophiles.

Stolen Custard! They recently did an All Stars mini series though and Howard got to make it again and actually get to use it this time! It brought a tear to my eye.

I’ve always imagined that it was a sentient portion of Ian’s beard wot done her in.

The Fridge Incident had the added Miss Marple mystery of Diana then vanishing, with the claim she’d fallen and severed her olfactory nerve.

Which is worse: The fridge incident, or the stolen custard?

I’m still angry about The Fridge Incident.

THROW IT IN THE BIN, IAN!

Toksvig is a superb choice... BUT THE DAMAGE IS DONE, LOVE PRODUCTIONS! YOU’VE SHAT IN THE CAKE! THIS IS A SHIT-CAKE!

1) Completely redoing your constitutional model is not easy. Why haven’t we Americans gotten rid of the electoral college? It’s anti-democracy, after all. Having a queen with no formal power is less anti-democratic than having Presidential canidates get over 2 million more votes and still lose. Changing things is…

There isn’t a rational answer. It isn’t about rationality, it’s about national identity.

Love your hats too! I have one great beach hat and would like to get more, but I live in a big city hours from the beach, so it’s not very practical. Le sigh...

I think for a lot of people, “Irish pride,” “Italian pride,” and interest in Scandinavian cultures are all just socially acceptable proxies for “white pride.” Which is completely awful on the level of promoting bigotry, and also a bummer for people who are actually interested in understanding/celebrating those…

There was a dude I went to college with who made a big deal out of being 1/8 Irish, even occasionally wearing a kilt on St. Patrick’s day, that sort of thing.

I dont know about this (or any) parade, but I just hate the bastardization of Irish culture and heritage that comprises most St. Paddy’s celebrations in the US. Wish the holiday involved more engagement with actual Irish culture and history and less excuses for people to wear cheap plastic shit and get wasted and act…

As an descendant of Irish immigrants, I appreciate the fact that Ireland is being “celebrated”, but also immensely embarrassed by the whole affair.

10am? Try 10pm the night before. It’s the worst...I think the more Irish you are, the more you grow to hate St. Patrick’s Day.

I so solidly agree. My kids and I traditionally do the road race in Southie the morning of the parade and people are already getting drunk along the route at 10am. It’s so gross.

She’s a loony bin Islamophobe who thinks Russia killed Andrew Breitbart. She should be ignored.
