1. That was hysterical. I actually remember seeing this movie as a kid and thinking it was lame.

   It’s never too late for redemption.

2. My loathing for Gilbert and Sullivan is exceeded only by…

   nothing.

   I loathe Gilbert and Sullivan. There is no effort to make them look asinine that I will not support. As you can see.

3. I’m sorry, but their left-handed slap at Garnet Wolseley still counts for something in my book

4. HOW old are you?

5. Who’s singing this? Any idea?

6. Oh god, are you asking me to listen to it?

7. You owe me, bitch.

8. Old enough to know about Wolseley’s Red River expedition which, if I recall correctly, was in . . . . . CANADA!

   Helpfully providing the exception to the rule about American ignorance about the North American continent since 1980, if not earlier . . . .

9. Remind me to slap you after we conquer you.

10. You’re just jealous because I added that extra bit of pedantic hip-ness to help you get that vote >;8^D>

11. This is funny. Thanks although I’m not a fan whatsoever.

12. That was pretty funny. It made me laugh. But not quite enough to sustain me to the end of the video…I hope I didn’t miss anything.

13. A rousing finale, full of words and music and signifying NOTHING. As always with G&S.

14. Slap me? You’ll make me the greater American minister of culture (or lack thereof . . .)

15. “American culture”. Seriously, we’re rolling in the aisles here. No, really. As the song says, when you fled in 1812 you ran so fast you forgot to take your culture.

16. Ah, but I regained it as a resident of the U.K. . . . well, at least as a resident of Cornwall

17. That’s not YOUR culture, Yank boy!

18. Hey, it worked for Salman Rushdie, so why not me?
