Starbucks?!? C'mon they don't drink that weak-assed poor excuse
for coffee in Europe.

You obviously haven't been in a while. There seems to be more of them
there than here.

Anyway, you can have my Cote du Rhone when you pry it out of my
cold drunken fingers.

Then I guess you are not very intelligent, because it's really
irrelevant where something is made or grown, because they are all
products of US companies, and therefore, they symbolize America.


Oh...

So, if the company has a branch or office in the US, then the product
symbolizes America?

****.

That really takes the shine off the new (obSki) Volkls.

The Brits are pussies who can't even produce an exportable automobile
anymore. Oh wait, that is sorta like the US.

The French can do no wrong (except for Salomon bindings), and everyone
should stop bashing them and be all nice and friendly to them from now
on, regardless of how they feel or act towards the US.

It's good we finally got that sorted. Now can we move on to bashing
those heathen Inuit? Anyone noticed how they aren't part of the
Coalition of the Willing? Fact is, those lazy ****s have done nothing
but laze about in sod huts eating walrus blubber while the rest of us
fight important wars.


And Canadians.
Don't forget Canadians.
We're beginning to feel so unnoticed we might need to have an election of
our own.

Or I could just go skiing...

It doesn't matter. They had the colossal gall to not take orders
direct from GWB, so they must be slagged at every opportunity.
Didn't you get the memo?

Well said.

Barf!


Astro, I have criticisms of the French but I dislike what I see as
knee-jerk French bashing. I could never hate a country with that much
culinary expertise. Britain, on the other hand, is a culinary waste
land....

It certainly was in 1988. food terrorism. Nothing gets out alive (or
edible).
Someone said it'd improved since then, which I believe, as it couldn't get
worse.

god it was horrible.
We'd go to Pizza Hut just to get the salad. I'm not joking. It was that bad.

The breakfasts is the worst stuff. Quite often we eat in at my bil's
house so there's a Dutch twist to our meals there as well. When we go
out for dinner is usually at their favorite Indian place, that's real
good. Most of the times we've gone out to dinner it's been good,
meaty stuff. Not particularly imaginative or anything. Meat, gravy,
potatoes, and (something that would make scatty move there) spotted
dick (he'd be disappointed to find out it's a pudding type desert).

Cool. We actually did send a couple of ships to the first Gulf War, but they
broke down enroute and never made it there. Really.
