I must not be quite following, because it sounds like you're saying you enjoyed it.

No, i didn't enjoy it. I figure if this is how i'm to wake up, it would be better if it was because of a hangover. At least then I could have enjoyed being drunk the night before.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

A year after almost failing her high school physics class, a girl told her older brother,
"You know, my physics teacher was right about the optical Doppler effect. You see those cars. The lights of the ones approaching us are white, but the lights of the ones moving away from us are red."
I do all my own stunts, but never intentionally!

The national accessory in England is the umbrella!

British probably can call upon the Morning Suit[^] (especially for breakfast)
You need to think larger. Cowboy ties and hats in the south-western US; Brooks Brothers suits in the northeast; camouflage in north-central with the 'seperatists', and of course, big toothless smiles and grey 'Johnny Reb' suits in the South-East.

But those are all Americans, not English!

Morning suit though, I havent seen that in a very long time, even at weddings!

National dress is often less 'national' and more 'regional' or even 'social class'-based. How large the regions are can, paradoxically, depend on the nation. In the UK, we historically seem to have very small regions with historically very strongly differentiated customs, languages/dialects/accents, and clothing, and within these regions clothing, accent, etc. may also depend on social class.
Here is one illustration of a particular social class-based dress style...

Not really a collector, but I needed something to try out my new 3D printer two weeks ago. Something that's big and notoriously hard to print. I chose this 22 inch model[^] of the Eagle and scaled it at 200%. That would bring it up to the size of the original studio model[^].
And now, two weeks and more than four pounds of filament later, I have quite a pile of largish parts on my desk at home. So far the printer held up very well. The only problems come from the 3D model itself. Round objects tend to look facetted due to having used too few polygons and some bigger chunks must be cut up into separate parts for better printing results and better access when finally assembling and painting it.

That's awesome. I'd consider buying myself a 3D printer just for that purpose (if I had had the necessary dough, that is!)...
