I PREFER THE 'PROM DRESS' ANALOGY MYSELF
That distant roaring sound you hear is Bill and Hil laughing themselves legless.

BRITS YAWN AS IRAN DECLARES WAR
As a Brit I'm all in favour of a calm and measured response, for the time being.
Yes, it's a hostile act, an act of war even, but if a cool approach gets our sailors and marines back unharmed, so long as we make NO deals, I'm for it.
Even given the blatant Iranian violation of conventions regarding military detainees, and their obvious barefaced lies about the circumstances.This seems to a widespread attitude among people I've talked with; annoyed but not suprised, and willing to exercise restraint in the short term.
If the Iranians try to drag this out beyond a week or so, or start anything like trials etc., THEN we impose a blockade and reduce their navy to matchwood.
