Today, I was in a conversation about the World Cup with a British guy, and I referred to it as "soccer."
And he condescendingly responds: "We don't play 'soccer' here, love."
And I'm like: "Well, clearly. It'll be a miracle if y'all make the semifinals."
And he got real quiet after that.
A work of art.
250 years ago exactly Britain was locked in an unwinnable war with a distant, poor yet stubborn opponent.
The French ambassador wrote: "This ruinous and mad war is the reverse of the philosopher's stone."
Happy anniversary.
