Bucky sings anthems.

Fratelli d’Italia is one of the best hymns to shout out in a crowded football stadium

I’m not familiar with Italy’s anthem. But they do have nice bathrooms.

That’s true: our anthem is a zum-pa-pa music and few Italians know the meaning of the lyrics.

Biggest problem with Bucky’s anthem theory is that it puts Russia and Canada on the top level.

It is Bucky the world best anthem is the one about the enemy’s blood watering the grooves

An anthem that lends itself to cannon fire is to die for.

You mean litter box don’t you Bucky?!

Italy is a beautiful country Iwas there!

I bet Bucky could undo the entire Renaissance in just a few days in Italy.

The United States is the only country whose national anthem is a question. If things keep going the way they are, pretty soon the answer is going to be no.

I just saw the movie Rome Adventure. Despite being a chick-flick, it gives wonderful views of the city, and much of Italy. In a movie all can enjoy, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck give us a lovely travelog in Roman Holiday.

Holland isn’t bad, either.

Growing up just outside of Providence, RI, I remember Paladino Tours always advertising trips to Italy. I had planned to go to Italy a few years ago, but had to cancel. Rob should go, take Satchel with him and leave Bucky in a shelter for a few weeks.

What happened about Bucky’s door? I wanted to see how Bucky got his door back but they didn’t finish that series.

Italy! Come for the food, stay for the bathrooms!

As opposed to the US anthem, a third-rate poem about a minor battle in a war that this country lost set to an English drinking song?

“America the Beautiful” would make a far better national anthem.

My husband was watching a racing event from Azerbaijan yesterday and he brought me in to see their anthem being performed. It was beautiful, plus all of the notes we able to be reached by the average person. I truly hate the USA’s. I’d much rather have “America the Beautiful”. I was curious about when “The Star Spangled Banner” was adopted. I knew it was fairly recent, but I figured it was after WWII when all of the patriotic dreck against the “Commies” really took hold. Surprisingly it was 1931. I’m guessing it was formerly adopted then to make people forget about the Great Depression. “Hey we know you don’t have a job and can’t afford to feed your family, but GUESS WHAT!?! Here is a song for you to sing so everyone will know how much you love the good old USA!”. Seriously the thought processes of politicians (of ANY! kind) rarely stray from trying to give any actual help and instead they throw pablum at the masses.

Someone forgot to continue the lost closet arc, oooops!

The parts that tourists visit are nice or, at least, they used be – before the tourists …

Does anyone remember when Tony Soprano, Pauly and Christopher went to Italy? Pauly wasn’t impressed with the bathrooms one bit. Christopher spent the whole trip shooting heroin, and Tony brought back a psycho enforcer, Furio.

There is a gas retailer in the U.S. that claims washrooms “Even your mother would approve of”. it’s name,,,,,, Bucc-eeees.

Italy’s anthem has fun music but the chorus, “…we are ready for death…” is odd. I mean, that’s what your wartime opponents want from you.

“Most beautiful place on Earth”? Sorry, Pinkish, but you’ve obviously never been to AK/BC/YT!

Is there anything that Bucky does not insult?

Hell hath no fury like an anthem scorned …!
