Polishing the London Eye

@Boz-pot That... definitely sounds like a euphemism

Canada, Australia, and America look so cute as kids!

@Ice0tea - I really don't know why people go to McDonalds, so you're asking the wrong person. It's awful, terrible food. I think people are just too lazy to make better food themselves, so they go to the "fast-food" places and pay too much for crap that can just barely be called "food".

I agree with you on Subway. It's one of the few 'fast-food' places I'll go to eat. Another is Long John Silvers, a fish place. I know that oil-fried fish fillets aren't very good for a person, but I do stop in there every couple of months - because it does taste pretty good. So long as you ask them to NOT put any of their terrible 'sauces' on it. Another American shame, that. Most of the 'sauces' people put on their food items are just made of sugar syrup, and they're awful. Even ketchup is terrible, it's half syrup. (bleh)

@KOakaKO Subway is utterly pointless, you can make the same sandwich for the same price, in almost the same amount of time, with a trip to the grocery store - and often with 80% less secret turkey.

Long John Silver's, though, I entirely agree. That fish is appalling in all the most delicious ways

@centerflag982 All fast food products can be easily reproduced by yourself. Most people just don't have all the ingredients ready, especially when it comes to fresh things that spoil fast (there's like a dozen different veggies on my sandwich, which I only need small amounts of). Also, don't forget about the convenience. I visit Subway's every few weeks, usually when I'm spending time around town anyway, and I ain't driving home just to make a sandwich. I've got an open question though: What on earth is secret turkey? Does Subway's try to sneak turkey into my sandwich when I doesn't expect it?

@Nethyae Eh, fair enough. I live about twice as close to a grocery store as I do to any of the restaurants around here, fast food or otherwise, so I guess I've just kinda come to associate them with being slightly *less* convenient :P
As for the turkey bit, I was just making a joke about the how many of their less-expensive meats are actually turkey products flavored like and labeled as other meat. Granted, they do have footnotes clarifying this on their menus, but I still find it amusing.

I asked Humon on Tumblr about Sister England being the mom if Brother England is the dad she said

thehmn

I’ve had a few people ask me about satw canon and the answer is simple: there’s no canon. Soft canon at best. To give an example, sometimes Denmark is the oldest of the Scandinavians because he was the first to become a named country, but other times he’s the youngest because he was the last landmass to be formed.

So go with whatever works for you. The way it sorta works in my head is that the countries aren’t really brother and sister but the same entity that was split into two people and they simply call each other brother and sister. Like a person named Alex who become a male and a female version of the original person and they call each other Brother Alex and Sister Alex.

But that’s just how it works in my head. You do you.


and yes I am even more confused but I guess it's not technically incest

how I see it is the countries are made from the same land but aren't biologically related to each other or at least their DNA is different enough to breed and not have in breed kids it could also be how a humanoid country Wales and animal/sheep base country like New Zealand were able to breed and have a baby [links removed] Sheep Are Cute

though I still wish humon made this clear and gave America and Australia a different mom other than Sister England but it what it is

Who the hell celebrates Mothers' Day in March?

@Xordic
Uh... Everyone in England, obviously. (All of Britain, in fact)

@Xordic here in Mexico it is celebrated in March

I love America's eagle teddy

OMG CANADA AS A KID IS SO CUTE X3
SAME WITH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA

Sad New Zealand isn’t there

@ApplesRock

Yeah but I don't mind if New Zealand doesn't appear in this.

?
Reason?

@Hinoron

Well, seeing that my comment was 2 years ago...I forgotten already. =(

Awwwwww! Some of the kids.

Really, only some.

I began by feeling sad, because we do still use the term, "Mother England" from time to time here. But we use it as sort of a " England begat us but was an overbearing mother" sort of way. So I got over it and drank some pineapple juice.
