oh my. Sark is back on Alias this excites me beyond excitement, because with the exception of Sydney Bristow Alias is rather sexless. Nothing sexier than a sarcastic British super villian with a sexcore accent (even though its fake). British accents rule like no other accent in existance. Closely followed by those really cute melodic southern belle accents. ooh yes Sydney and Sark as a couple on an operation this episode is 100% pure sex. (ok the fact that sark is free makes me delerious with tv show happiness because it means he will be in a few more episodes.
I have typed 986 words of my 2,500 word essay. I dont think that is too bad for almost an entire days work. Taking it from my massive pile of aust. text. notes various caffine breaks, email breaks, procrastination breaks, cat bitch fight breaks etc. ok, and i gotta add that MSN winks are one of THE most distracting things ever.
ok, so I have a question, its rather perplexing so im open to all possible theories and ideas. Perhaps the origins of it are really obvious and I am completely ignorant of the fact.
So, we all know that yankee doodle stuck a feather in his hat. But, the question is:
why did he call it macaroni?

As to your enquiry re: Yankee Doodle, I am completely stumped. As a Kindy teacher maybe this is something I should further explore?
And I am with you about British accents.
Why did yankee doodle stick a feather in his hat and call it macaroni? Back in Pre-Revolutionary America when the song "Yankee Doodle" was first popular, the singer was not referring to the pasta "macaroni" in the line that reads "stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni". "Macaroni" was a fancy ("dandy") style of Italian dress widely imitated in England at the time. So by just sticking a feather in his cap and calling himself a "Macaroni" (a "dandy"), Yankee Doodle was proudly proclaiming himself to be a country bumpkin, because that was how the English regarded most colonials at that time. But times have long since changed, and it is important to reflect on the fact that despite the turbulent early relationship between England and the American colonists, our two countries are strongly united.
