These things are tough to watch....makes me want to kick in the TV - Sheila Taylor

Canada: another country that Palin can see from her house. - Brian Johns

Yeah - I agree!! Palin can't answer a question. She's just talking about things she wants to talk about. It's so frustrating... - Karen Padham Taylor

OMG!!! I had to walk away from the debate....She is so annoying!! I would kick the TV, but my knee would suffer too much!!! - Skye Miller

My violent coughing had subsided until I started listening to her "responses". Ugh. - Dan Hsiao

You're my second friend who has said that. So now my fingers are crossed that they win because I want you all to move home! - jenn schachter

Well I was watching the Canadian debate, I took a minute here and there to listen to the USA one, and Palin just loves beating around the bush on questions. - Herman

The scariest thing is that if McCain/Palin win in Nov... there is a remote possibility a day might come when America could be led by a clown whose definition of "Foreign countries" is restricted to Canada and Russia :)... - Kunal Malhotra

Herman: I agree about Palin not answering questions. It's really frustrating to see she's getting decent press and NO ONE is showing clips when she openly says that she sometimes wont answer the moderator or Biden's questions...that she wants to talk to the people. That's BS. It's a debate, not her time to rant about things she's comfortable talking about. I was really annoyed by the moderator too. She wasn't able to press on Palin to answer questions. If we had last week's moderator, I think the outcome would have been different. - Karen Padham Taylor

Mike said he wanted to move to Canada if McCain wins, I said we should go to New Zealand instead. I was glad to finally get to see both of them speak. - amelia arapoff

Karen, if they win, I pledge a dollar towards your ticket, as a sign of friendship and bipartisanship. - Charles LePage

You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. 2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix -ize will be replaced by the suffix -ise. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). 3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as 'like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell- checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize. You will relearn your original national anthem, God Save The Queen. 4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. 5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. - Amber

The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun. 6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 7. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. 8. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. - Amber

9. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline)-roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it. 10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. 11. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. - Amber

12. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie McDowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. 13. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Don't try Rugby - the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us. 14. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, - Amber

your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries. 15. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. 16. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). 17. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; strawberries in season. God save the Queen. Regards, JC - Amber

Sorry for all the comments, I wasn't sure how else to get this all on here - Amber

Yeah, that's a classic letter. John Cleese is the funniest man on earth, in my opinion. - Alex "Pew Pew Pew" Scoble

You almost wrote a blogpost here. Here my 2 cent( I know that this phrase will also be deemed non-english): The transition from dollar to pound will start with immediate effect. - Varun Mahajan

Thief! - Peter Butler

the proxy that i'm behind blocks youtube... is this the kind of thing thats going to make me want to harm puppies? - Chris Hollander

Ha! That picture of you is my new wallpaper, Shannon ;) Such a classic. http://picasaweb.google.com/sh... - Bret Taylor

At least people won't mistake you for one of the Hanson brothers: http://picasaweb.google.com/sh.... - Bret Taylor

Great, now the office has seen that picture and Ana is playing Hanson songs on her computer. I may have to switch companies. - Bret Taylor

Wow, never noticed the Hanson resemblence until now! No wonder my friends all thought you were so cute... - Shannon Jiménez

My "Like" is for Hanson's music, not Bret's pictures. - Ana

OK. Two questions. How did pictures I posted in March just get commented on now? And who are the Hansons? - Sheila Taylor

The most striking resemblence is how much Jim looks like Sonny Bono. Makes me miss him looking at these photos. - Sheila Taylor

Jim, not Sonny - Sheila Taylor

Thanks for sharing Sheila! Lots of great memories come to mind...Jim was a special person. :) So geniuine. And, Shannon...from an aunties point of view you were adorable in that pic. - Skye Miller

fun, fun, fun!!! :) - Skye Miller

Looks like you had a great time! - Anne Bouey

That's a lot of fun, it seems that Google's project doesn't work too much - Steve

This is actually very cool. It's nice to see a question that matters in the commercial mainstream, and the project is the berries! - Ed Shaz/NextInstinct

ha! Nice! I just drove through Mt. View with my new iPhone and I thought I saw google_wifi flash on the screen. Good work. - Pete Delucchi

Is it comedy or drama? - Bret Taylor

looking forward to seeing it! - Sheila Taylor

@Bret It's fantasy. The movie is loosely based on fact. - Anne Bouey

After beating USC and Cal last year, I have irrational faith in Jim Harbaugh. - Bret Taylor

@bret: not irrational at all -- we need 6 wins to qualify for a bowl, last year we had 4...two more wins is not an unreasonable expectation. go cardinal! - .LAG

I wouldn't hold my breadth... *cough* Go Bears *cough* - Raymond

I check this page every Monday: http://www.usatoday.com/sports... - Brian Johns

Anyone not a UGA fan is going to end the season with at least a little disappointment. This one's for UGA. - Jason Carreira

Ha, Stanford to a bowl game is such a joke - amelia arapoff

Stanford fan's hoping is always irrational. But I agree with Bret. Go Cardinal!!! First game on Thursday night against Oregon State--can't wait! - Sheila Taylor

Go Beavers! I have high hopes for a MIT bowl bid. - Kelly Norton

it's the most ... wonderful time ... of the yeeeeeeear ... - Steven Perez

Anyone know if FF has a Cal football room? Might need it to help squelch the Stanfurd FUD that might get slung around ("only" need two more wins compared to last year for a bowl berth? That's a 50% increase in wins!). - Brett Cannon

Go Blue! =) - Jauder Ho

i agree I am ready for football to start. getting my fantasy teams all ready to go right now. - (jeff)isageek
