This post screams of your Englishness.

You are aware that George III called Washington the greatest man that ever lived.

Agree with Liza Minelli, forgot abuot her

actress- Resse Witherspoon, don't now if anyone actually does rate her but if they do she's overrated.

Couldn't agree more, she got an Oscar for that Johnny Cash bio, and I kept thinking why.

Athlete- John Terry or maybe Jerry Rice

Spencer, the Jerry Rice in a Raiders and Seahawk jersey (in his late 30's and early 40's was not the Jerry Rice in a 49er jersey). Don't like the team up north, but he is the greatest wr of all time and there isn't a close second.

 

B4L - We do, but Celine is granted an amnesty.

Don - Thank you for the defence.

Mo - I am very proud of being English and I hope I have to opportunity to show you some English hospitality when you visit the Cottage.

'Fog - Braveheart - were you right?

 

Don- Don't forget "Road Warrior"!!! And even Mad Max...

I hope you didnt feel you needed defending. I love England and I would happily accept some of your English hospitality when I'm at the cottage.

 

...Better quote:

"It's amazing how much you can get accomplished when you take credit for the work of others"

 

I think that is painted on the wall of a lot of NBA locker rooms.

 

Let's see....in 1980 we had rampant inflation, 20% interest rates and a President talking about the malaise we were all in.......hmm....Then we had a President come in office who cut the size of the gov., lowered taxes drastically, put everyone in a positive frame of mind, and business growth started expanding rapidly.............How do you overrate that?...............God Bless Ronald Reagan!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Reagan's "Spitting Image" puppet was also my favourite....

Athlete: Shaquille O'Neal. Yes, he has a few rings w/the Lakers, the last one w/the Heat he got was a gift from D'Wayne Wade. Yes, he was dominate at times, but he should have done ALOT more.

President: In appreciation of Misfitkid's Rutherford B. Hayes, I will go w/James Polk.

Since more than one person has mentioned Al Pacino and his downfall since Scent of a Woman (1992), these are some of the movies he has done since... Glengarry Glen Ross, Clarito's Way, Heat, Donnie Brasco, The Devil's Advocate, The Insider (great movie), Any Given Sunday (see the thread Jambo started), Angels in America (he won an Emmy), The Merchant of Venice. Enough w/the overrated talk, that lineup speaks for itself.

 

Abraham Lincoln

... cause he started a Civil War that killed more Americans than all other wars combined (so more of a "war-criminal" than George W. Bush), didn't try to keep the country united without war ("warmonger"?), prolonged the war by poor management of the Union military (just as, or more, incompetent than Bush's handling of the occuaption of Iraq), and didn't emancipate slaves until over 2 years of his administration had passed (definitely a racist... which is really the truth).

So technically Abraham Lincoln was a warmongering war criminal who was also a racist.

Not to metion he didn't change United States policy towards Native-Americans, i.e., genocide, genocide, genocide.

 

What are you talking about? My response was only half-serious by the way.
