Let's celebrate England's national traitors on this Pegasus Friday!
Here's how I imagine this whole rebellion thing got started:
Some dudes were sitting around on the docks one night after partaking of some of this country's fine "tobacco" cop. Have you ever wondered if "tobacco" is a euphemism for "marijuana?" Imagine that it is.
Dude one: "Maaan, my stomach doth feel the acheth of emptiness. Dost thou knwoest of a Taco Bell nearby?"
Dude two: "Thou art trippin, good Sir. Taco Bell has not been invented yet."
Dude one: "Surely this dock must harbor a delicious import from afar. Here! What is in this crate?"
Dude two: "Tea."
Dude one: "TEA?! Nay, I requireth something gooey and melty. What lies in yonder crate?"
Dude two (giggling to himself); "Tea."
Dude one: "Silence! Heeeeey....what if we, liketh, dumped ALL the tea into the harbor? Then we could bath our musky, unwashed colonial bodies in it and we could, liketh, ABSORB THE TEA?!"
Dude two (collapsing into laughter): "Awww, man....let's doeth it!"
The rest is history.
If it HAD happened like this, I'm pretty sure I would have paid more attention during fifth grade social studies.

That's a wonderful description.
I wish you taught MY history class.
Stephanie, people didn't talk like that, even if they were high. It was 230 years ago in Virginia.
Hey, hug your soon-to-be sister in law for me, eh?
Scooter, they would if I ran the world.
