Um...

Yeah? Give me Stephen Colbert or even George Bush malapropisms any day. Rooftop is so seriously into cool or irony or "the meaningfulness of meaninglessness"or whatever it is that their head has disappeared up their tailpipe.

I guess what I'm saying is...not to my taste.

Take it for what it is.

I thought it was funny, dammit.

Also made me want to visit the Shetlands.

Another 'aye' for 'The Nyuggle'

I really enjoyed it...giggled aloud at his analysis of the tale at the end. I'd like to see more of these. There's plenty of room here for both these and Colbert, I think.

Tee Hee!

Hey, the t-each uisge! (Or puca, although I dont' think those ones go in the water.) Those are ancient stories, I didn't know England had the same creatures, although it makes sense, the folk who live on those islands are all much of a muchness no matter how hard they protest the contrary.

However, the best part is his analysis at the end, and how Shetland ponies all look like Tina Turner, and how the story was told to him whilst sitting in a barn full of sheep poo. Ah, there's no humor like dry English humor.
