What I don't understand is why Scotland has to vote on independence. Why can't they just have a revolution we can watch on prime time, like the rest world does?
Just think of the profits they could get from sponsors and ad campaigns!

They're pissed off cos of the state the English overlords have gotten them in.
Conveniently forgetting that the previous two prime ministers that played a large part of getting the country in the state it is in were Scottish.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

 Not in this instance. Born and bred in Illinois (just south of Chicago) so I'm a damn Yankee. I used that phrase purely for the humor.

The poor Scots, as you know from watching movies made by idiotic Americans, live in mud and have their women stolen from them by evil English kings, but, far worse than that, they are subjected to prime-time BBC shows on Saturdays.
They want independence so they can make their own show: "Strictly Nothing is Worn under the Kilt".

Hey, it's only been four months[^] since that one was posted! You're supposed to wait at least six months. 
It was first posted to the Lounge in July 2001. It's so old, links to the first copies in the Lounge don't work, and it even pre-dates Leslie!
