Lollerskates

I found a coupla neato comdeians today. Ed Byrne and...Frankie Boyle, I think it was? Anyways, both very amusing people. Just finding it fascinating to see how Europeans joke about Americans! And how it's all true!

I went to the Grand Canyon, and the Aericans were just so *proud* of it! "Oh, look, I bet you don't have one o' those Ireland!" Well of course not, where would we put it!? Though really, I find the name misleading. You call something grand no matter what. You're having a completely awful day, and someone asks you how you're doing, and you say, "Oh, just grand." This hole was fuckin' brilliant! They should call it the Fuckin' Brilliant Canyon. Much more fitting.

This, of course, paraphrased from the original. I just find it hilarious, and I'm not entirely certain why. I also find it fascinating just to hear the different accents. That's how I should learn accents. Listen to the comedians. But I'd have to find ones who don't use accents as part of their act...
