So they were able to keep the clowns and crusty jugglers at bay?

Nice catch, subs.

i heard the devil went to scoonthorpe, looking for a soul to steal

got to love one of the linked articles from 1999 Link (new window)
""In the US we all have a right to free speech, as part of the First Amendment, and this company is not allowing that," she said. "It's something it just can't do, and we will fight to get the names released." and "The US Justice Department is to investigate Network Solutions' monopoly."

Scoonthorpe is a real hive of scum and villany

I'm not really foreign, you know. I just do it to appear more sophisticated! I mean, nobody'd buy Evian water if it was called Blackburn water, would they?
