"Come on Tony, at least make out like you are enjoying it".

Bush - 'It's called old Glory Tony'

Blair - 'That's a funny name for such a small dick George'

"Trust me, Tony. It worked for Janet Jackson"

"Is this really the biggest bath towel you've got, George?"

Bush: “Shit, we’ve been captured on camera. Now hold still and make like we’re just horsing around.”

"I warned you what would happen if you mixed wine and Lem-Sip, George!"

Bush: How about a publicity stunt to detract from our troubles in Iraq?
Blair: What a special idea, what did you have in mind?
Bush: Let’s dress up naked in an American flag.
Blair: That’s a really special idea, could we use a Union Jack instead though?
Bush: Do you want this to be special or not?

"Tony, I've invited Gordon over this evening. You don't mind do you?"

Blair - 'Darling'?

Bush - 'Yes honey'

Blair - 'You will still love me in the morning won't you'?

Bush - 'Tomorrow I am going to take you to see Camp David'

Blair - 'Oh yes, I love threesomes'

Problem with that pic is that W would never do that with the flag. Maybe with Tony though.
Desicration, we call it here, especially in the "red" states.
Interesting term, it means to defile a religious object.
Hmmm.
It's my country but not my religion.

You are correct on the spelling issue but to desecrate is to desanctify or to violate the sanctity of, I would say David is correct. Also see the antonym of desecrate below.

con·se·crate Pronunciation (kns-krt)
tr.v. con·se·crat·ed, con·se·crat·ing, con·se·crates
1. To declare or set apart as sacred: consecrate a church.
2. Christianity
a. To produce the ritual transformation of (the elements of the Eucharist) into the body and blood of Jesus.
b. To sanctify (bread and wine) for use in Communion.
c. To initiate (a priest) into the order of bishops.
3. To dedicate solemnly to a service or goal. See Synonyms at devote.
4. To make venerable; hallow: a tradition consecrated by time.
adj.
Dedicated to a sacred purpose; sanctified.

Or as we Old Testament-following hillbillies say, "An 'I' for an 'E'". Or something like that.
Thanks for the spell check, Jim.
Adam, again I plead with you for a spell checker, this typographical error situation is clearly out of hand.
I stand by my hillbilly interpretation of "Desecrate" when it comes to some folk's consideration of the American flag.
I see the Union Jack run up people's arses (asses here in the USA) with swimwear and other tacky clothing and I always wonder why there isn't more pride in the showing of colo(u)rs than that.
That sort of thing is in VERY bad taste in the USA.
But at least there doesn't seem to be a religious cult following around the Union Jack.

Type your posts in Word (or similar)and cut & paste them across - after spell checking. This also gets over the problem I often experience when, having taken the time to write a brilliant reply, all signs of genius evaporate as my firewall kicks in, blocks the post and the words are shunted into some limbo area between thought and expression.

You mean that it hampers freedom of expression?

I think things only have the meaning we give to them. There is no inherent meaning in a flag. I for one could not care less about a flag including my own. I will not be reduced to apoplectic rage or severe indignation if someone burns a piece of cloth associated with my country. I suspect America has an obsession with its own flag because America is such a melting pot of nationalities. Piss on all flags is what I say. Piss on them, burn them, cut them up into tiny pieces and lets have one flag, the flag of humanity and yes we can impute some meaning on that because it will represent all of us. In short, let's grow up and stop this infantile 'we are different and we are better than you' nonesense.

Half way through that Erik, at the "Piss on all flags" bit, I could hear the Humanity anthem slowly building in the background, your voice strengthen to an emotional crescendo, the silence from the vast captivated crowds hanging on every word only to finally burst into a roar of new realised leadership.......

Could type them on a different forum and cut out the middle man.
If you suggested loading a CD on to a PC and then putting it in your NAIM CDP to play it,how do you think that would go down?

Agreed. It is just confusing to have them waving proudly in a setting of national pride while they're being used as diapers (nappies) at the same time.
And we'll all vote for you, Leader of Humanity Eric.
And Adam, thanks for the tip. I think an official "Naim's English" spell checker should be instituted. Really, checking other's posts for spelling errors is much like listening to "Hi Fi" and not the music... No offense meant, Jim. But a more constructive discussion would involve more of the meaning and less of the mechanics of our cumbersome language. I believe meaning #1 from your dictionary quote covers what I'm talking about.

As a caption, perhaps:

When the escort service asked whether he preferred a Brazilian, in hindsight, the response may have been different.

OK, I'll play.
