DocPop 1 #8 October 12, 2010 Quote Most Americans read that to mean "Honky racist" That says more about American parochialism than it does of Shropshire's choice of words. In this context, "right crackers" means "some excellent ones". On a separate note, if black people are allowed to use "nigger" I don't see why they would object to whites using "cracker"."The ground does not care who you are.

Yeah, I thought it was ironic as well that the 'away team' has the better 'home strip' (God forbid there should be any terms in there that can be misconstrued ). They should swap when the Brits come home! Also, notice that the only servicewomen you ever see in pictures are the really pretty ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, he also said that the meals out in the field were catered and we would all get our own car.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
