Do you guys even watch the simpsons??? Macaroni was a small southeastern Asian man from Season 3. He got into a fight with four different people, one of which was Vince Vaughn. There was some kissing and heavy petting, but that was during a dream sequence. Macaroni kept his roller blades and sport coats in his shed. He also had the memorable quote "this porridge is rather pedestrian."
Now you know.

No, I had no idea, I really thought it was pasta! :lol:

I think I remember that! Or a different one. I was born in the early 90's so it might have been a different one. But I remember buying it because it was Simpsons.

Anyways. I don't know if any of you have ever seen the show "Assume the position" with Robert Wuhl, he talks about history and some of the lesser know "facts" about it. Here is what he had to say about the Yankee Doodle song.

The U.S. patriotic song "Yankee Doodle" as an example from the American Revolution. "Yankee Doodle," Wuhl said, was actually a British song mocking what they saw as disheveled, disorganized American colonial soldiers -- but the colonists didn't realize they were being made fun of ("Doodle" meant "simpleton") and proudly adopted the song because they liked the tune. Indeed, the line "He stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni" was a reference to excessively dressed effeminate 18th century British men who spoke with outlandish, epicene affectations and were derided in England as macaronis, Wuhl said. The song's meaning, he said, was that the simple colonists were so foolish that they didn't even know how to become macaronis -- all they did was stick a feather in their cap!

Omigod. And we American children sang it so proudly. What a riot!

Thanks for the background. (... As the UK contingent of the forum smile broadly ... )

Que me ROFL at you guys not understanding British sarcasm aimed at you... Now then I'll just go eat some limes ;)

I need to stop spending donuts on decorative stuff. This horse shed isn't even cool.
