Did everyone have plans for the weekend and I'm the only nut left here! I'm busy packing moving boxes and pop in and out for entertainment, and POOF, nothing.
It's Sunday, post your best PIP funny or LIP video, let's liven up the place.
Here's my first (Stever, I know your DH will like this):

DH and I moved from London to Vancouver in '05. I came back to So Cal to visit my family in November and flew out to Vegas to meet up with a British friend of mine who was spending a month in the US before going on to New Zealand.
We were staying at a hotel but she had spent a few nights at a hostel before I got there. She made a few friends there and, before heading out our first night, my friend called the hostel to arrange a meeting.
Friend: "Hi. I'm calling to leave a message for my friends X and Y."
Hostel dolt: "How should I track them down?"
Friend: "I don't know. They're both staying there."
Hostel dolt: "What do they look like?"
Friend: "A South Asian girl and a tall white guy with a guitah."
"A what?"
"A guitah."
"A what?"
"A gee-tarrrr."

Bahahahahaha! I am so used to hearing UK accents (Scots, Irish, Yorkshire, etc) that it doesn't phase me, I understand perfectly. But that totally explains why they subtitle British films that are broadcast on the 'nets. Yeah, you get a highlander on there, and most people are probably wondering wtf he's going off about, but a Londoner?? Yeah, I suppose if you aren't used to it, it's hard. Kinda like needing an interpreter for Creole (which I can understand too, most here can't).
