How American are YOU??? *insert image of Uncle Sam pointing here*

[Mimi]

Guess I'm too conservative to be an American. All a's and b's for me as well.

I suppose this would be funny if the C answers weren't so greatly exaggerated.

Ever thought of a career as a limbo dancer, Cav? 😀

Not quite Meemster. 🙂 It's only cool for Americana-aspiring Brits to act like Americans. Any American aspiring to be cool needs to act like a Brit.

This means drinking tea instead of coffee, having milk in it instead of cream; trebling the size of your pancakes and squirting lemon juice on them instead of maple syrup; not ever considering going to see a psychiatrist for $500 an hour to resolve inner-conflict started when daddy didn't take you to the circus when you were 8; not believing that levelling a country 9,000 miles away containing armed forces that couldn't hit a target 10 feet outside their border is "defending our freedom and liberty"; developing a sudden, burning interest in Australian soap operas; reducing your defence budget every year for the last 10 years instead of trebling it and last but not least, call your casual footwear "trainers".


But of course, if all Americans acted like Brits, we wouldn't love ya as much, would we?

Re: Very true odd job.......

...and so is BJ, wich one though?

Oh I'm a complete and utter jerkoff, and proud of it. 😀

 

[Cav88]

I got it, I just didn't find it that funny.

 

[BigJim]

Someone tell me why this doesn't come as a heart-stopping surprise to me? 😀

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Lord, I am stuck!!! My calm side wants the a's, and my psycho side wants the c's. @#$^&*(@)#_$%&*(!)@_#+$%#&*(!!!!!

 

[BigJim]

This is the danger of the dark side. Unbalancing it is. Strange does it make you feel.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I have always had a history of imbalance. But, some of those c answers were downright ROFLMAO material.😀

They were true though. I see much worse on Jerry Springer. 😀

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Haven't we all?😀 Oh, and they send Jerry Springer to the U.K? What a world. I'll take the BBC comedies any day.😀

 

[BigJim]

Mike Myers definately had something there. Bless his little British/transplant Canadian heart.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

LOL, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. The triad of nuts.

"c) A thinly disguised morality play set in a massive lounge where the audience whoop for 10 minutes, every time an overpaid actor makes an entrance to deliver a lightweight wisecrack."



I could never have thought of a better indictment of the vapidity and mediocrity of the sitcoms on American television if I sat here continuously at this keyboard for the next three years. I'm convinced that watching TV here can actually lower your IQ (Jerry Jerry Jerry).
"Men Behaving Badly", the BBC version, rules by the way.

 

[BigJim]

I'm with ya Knoxy! You're talking to a guy who named the pride of American chat show TV, "The Jelly Sphincter Show".


And up with The Young Ones, Bottom, Blackadder and all the rest! Yeah baby, yeah!

 

[Knox The Hatter]

Yep. "Sphincter." Perfect.
He's always talking about going back into politics, but if he does, he loses the chief foundation of his ego. He can't give up that show. I think the combined intelligence of everyone who ever appeared on that show just might be there with one of the jam butties Onslow is always pining for, in his dingy cap and tank top shirt, tooling along in his rust and primered Ford Cortina...
On my cable, I have like eighty channels to choose from, and there's nothing on. Only more and more fecal matter, including the Fux News Network (we report right wing rubbish, you decide if you're intelligent enough to accept it), Lifetime (showing yet another film of the same plot, some battered woman trying to escape a sociopathic husband, they run two hundred films with this plot during the course of a week) ESPN (featuring slick, quick sports commentators who spend most of the time making each other laugh) and C-SPAN, watched by the Ted Kucyzinski-Unabomber constituency, ready to take a gun and shoot the next Liberal who calls in. Lots of fun.
I long for the day when I can pick and choose my channels from the provider, any provider!

 

[BigJim]

While TV remains the best form of brainwashing, a little thing like constructive choice won't be on the menu. 😀
