Good lord…
OmG EN-PEE-ARE
I can confirm that Sir Lanka is a member of the British aristocracy. Great friend of Duke Airandattention.
You hear the weirdest conversations.
I think my I.Q. just dropped another couple of points.:sad:
i hope all of you learned something: The NPR that you covet so dearly is trash.
The NPR should be replaced by the NRA.
I gotta go with kismet on this one, daveidge, you do hear and see (photos)the strangest conglomeration of people on the planet, all within walking distance of the royal and ancient oak.
very observant number one…
That is one of the staying points of Royal Oak. Even the homeless people and freaks have the most amazing conversations in the coffeehouses.
Hey Anna, maybe Freaks no 1 and 2 listen to NPR because they think it is affiliated with the NRA.
Maybe Sir Lanka is the Ron Mexico name for China folk? My Ron Mexico name is Papa El Salvador.

Every name comes with thick green discharge!
My Ron MExico name is Dr. Fill
Sir Lanka was knighted by the queen for his outstanding contribution to the British t-shirt industry…..what’s wrong with you people?
I’ve noticed that a lot of the things that I buy are from this town called “Hecho” in Mexico. Yup. Gotta get down and visit “Hecho” sometime! Hah!!!
If all t-shirts are made in China, as these guys are saying, then I suppose that Mexico and SIR Lanka are part of China.
Sort of on the same topic: I have a lot of shirts from American Apparel, which are made in the U.S., but ironically the company is owned by a Canadian.
You all know that the t-shirt industry is ruled by the all mighty and powerful evil Midget Clown Ninjas, right?
Right?
Thank god that the world production of MOOSEPANTS is based in Canadia.
Hail EXPORT “A”!
click my name to see “foot sculpting”!
My Ron Mexico name is Juliet Laos!
You might be a redneck if…you listen to NPR
Depending on the accent, Sri Lanka sometimes sounds like Srrh Lanka. And sometimes it sounds like “Ceylon”.
Hey! I heard that too!
