You need to watch 'supersize me'
You'll think twice about eating fast food.

I like a lot of the people, although many Americans tend to be closed minded towards the idea of alternative religions (by virtue of the fact that they are conditioned to 'believe' in God) which I think impedes on their understanding of other people & cultures.

 

I like the 'independant' films, such as those directed by Cameron Crowe, Kevin Smith, Richard Linklater (amongst others)

 

I love a lot of the non-mainstream music as the people involved tend to be those who are dissolusioned by the state, or are open to ideas outside the norm.

 

I like Pizza Hut & KFC.

 

It's funny, it's always said that Texas is the right wing state, but we have an office in Austin, and everyone I know who's visited from there has been totally pleasant & seem totally chilled out. I think it's probably a case of 'he who hawks loudest gets heard'

I like the way sometimes you can buy Margeritas by the yard.

I like the word moron, when spoken by middle-aged East Coast women to their husbands on snowy Boston streets, when it sounds like "mwwwwooooooooooron" and echoes like a plaintive animal cry of lost love in the chill winter air. I imagine it happens quite often. I only witnessed it once.

 

And I like Mike Watt, Iggy & The Stooges, my basses, pisswater American lagers, the Chrysler Building, Kurt Vonnegut, the films, my American friends and lots of other things.

I like Scrubs!

Also I met this American girl in my dream last night and she liked my accent.

Good for you, I'm glad to see you doing your bit for happy international relations.
Keep it up and you will soon have some :J 

It was at this crazy house party, and there were people climbing this reallyreally tall tree and every now and again there was this "..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh[thud]" and a dead person, and nobody was really that bothered. Best party I've ever been to! Apart from when the porta-loo hose detatched and sprayed my legs with urine. That bit kinda sucked.

"..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh[thud]" and a dead person, and nobody was really that bothered.

 

 

 

An english version of the texas chainsaw massacre? :] 

But there were Americans, too! I dunno what my brain was trying to tell me. Don't climb tall trees, maybe.

"But there were Americans, too"

 

I hope you gave them a leg up :] 

Independent? Kevin Smith?

 

Did I miss something?

Evidentally.

I really shouldn't scan read threads. I must've read your post 5 times thinking "Is he taking the piss. Wha?" :( 

Larry Sanders was ace, am I the only guy who thought his sidekick looks like Dr Phil? :-& 

heh, me too. The American's have given me permission to visit Canada now. Which I am happy about as it is only 2 hours from here :] 

I like the constitution ... in theory.

 

But aye, agree with what you said, especially the KFC point. Although most KFCs here are crap compared to the UK and don't even serve fries but stupid wedges with skin on :( 

haha aye they go nuts for the accent. I so should have come here before gettng married.

I like hot redheads, especially if they are English.

 

I also like the great beer, the gracious people, the fabulous history, the quaint towns, beautiful hills, the foggy weather(at times), great puffy clouds, the cars, motorbikes, castles, cathedrals, and the way that the U.K. has a better handle on how to treat old things.

 

I also love the English sense of humour, even if it takes a while to "get it".

 

I am not so sure I could do the wrong-way driving bit... :P 

Cocaine and money.
