Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, October 2, 2005, 20:35:37 Went to a sports bar today to watch the various football and we were served by this American woman. We were watching the Man City v Everton game and came to deliver our pints. She noticed that we were watching the football and said 'Who is playing', I replied 'Man City v Everton'. She then asks, 'who you going for'? 'Man City probably, but I am not really bothered either way' is my response before asking who she would like to win. 'The team in blue' she replies prompting immature giggling from me and my mates. 'They both play in blue, which one do you mean' I say? 'Oh well in that case I'll go for the yellows' as the referee and linesman come up on the screen!! :roll:
For a sports bar, I have never seen so many clueless people in my life! Surely to work in a sports bar, you should have even a basic grasp on UK Sport, especially when the team from that City is actually playing. :roll: Title: How thick are Americans?

There were some hotties working there. :wink: Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: pumbaa on Monday, October 3, 2005, 14:20:19 Americans are so insular - trust me I live here.
Its great getting your own back though, which I did to an American mate on Saturday night, watching his college 'football' team getting thrashed :D Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: fatbury on Monday, October 3, 2005, 14:22:42 Wouldnt it be nice to acutally HAVE a SPORTS BAR in Swindon!!

Well it would, but they'd put it in the bottom of twon, and it'd get full up with toss pots like all the other bars in Bridge St/fleet st. If it was anything like Sport Cafe it'd be spank.

Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: Batch on Monday, October 3, 2005, 21:33:25 More like typical women than typical yank.
American crowds suck ass when it comes to cheering thier team on. Deeeeeeeefense,deeeeeeefense, yawn. They get going when there is a good fight at the (ice) hockey though. Also I have always worked for an American company. In my last job I was in Chicago and it worried me how many people a) didn't have a passport and b) hadn't been outside Illinois. It may be a big place, but I'm quite sure I'd leave my own state. In general, contarary to popular belief there are some nice intelligent people there . There are some banjo playing, sister marrying wierdos too (like the Isle of Wight really) Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, October 3, 2005, 22:04:52 Most of the intelligent Americans seem to like golf. Although even they managed to disgrace themselves at Brookline. I can connect with some of their baseball fans, who seem to enjoy the history and traditions of their game. But the rest of US sports seem to be watched by all manners of loosers. And what do they get most excited about? Wrestling! Its not even real for fucks sake.
Yanks popular culture seems to have insatiable apetite for tat. But when people say all Americans are stupid, it reflects more on you than it does them. After all that ingenuity, hard work and enterprise didnt come from nowhere to make it the richest country in the world. Although their love of the redneck and its culture is baffling (Nascar, Dubya Bush, etc). What if I said all Nigerians are thick? After all look at all that corruption and crime. Whats your gut reaction to that? Revulsion I bet (is anyone here thick enough to call me a racist? :roll: ) But Dan Jackson, I told you a month ago, its We are red, we are white, we are fucking dynamite! You thick cunt!

There are some banjo playing, sister marrying wierdos too (like the Isle of Wight really) There is a guy in my office that readily admits he has not left the state of Ohio. "There's different laws over the state line" is his defence of this position. Mind you, if you've ever been to Kentucky you can see his point. He's an oldish bugger too, in his 50's. What a fucking insular lifestyle. My wife and I spent a weekend in a log cabin a couple of weeks back. What an eye-opener. Hicksville or what? Walking around Walmart in the local population centre (I couldn't really call it a town) convinced us we were the only normal people in there. Reminded me of the movie Deliverance - banjo's, chainsaws and all that. Actually reminded me of the Forest of Dean, minus sheep. Tis true, the only time they cheer at (Ice) Hockey is during the fights, and when they do the Chicken Dance. Its all good harmless family orientated fun though. Season starts in two weeks, must get some tickets soon. Title: How thick are Americans?

I'm not sure how you tell if somebody has ring worm, and I've never heard of Elephantiasis, but I certainly spotted the rest a couple of weeks ago. In fact I'm popping to Walmart on my way home tonight, I'll print the list out and give it a shot. Report to follow tomorrow. Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: land_of_bo on Tuesday, October 4, 2005, 17:49:06 Good work my friend. Elaphantitis is like when you have a massive head or something like that!
Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, October 4, 2005, 17:53:19 So nothing to do with having big ears, a trunk and a couple of ivory tusks sticking out of your head, and spraying dry mud over your body then? I'm guessing it may be difficult to spot somebody like that in Walmart.
Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: pumbaa on Wednesday, October 5, 2005, 17:23:28 Report on Round 1 of the Walmart game.
I actually didn't get to Walmart last night. Instead I went to Target, which is Walmart for snobs. Regardless of the higher class of redneck that Target attracts, I managed to spot Chipped Teeth and a Neck Brace. A poor start, but I was subject to time constraints. However, a trip to Walmart at lunchtime yielded more positive results. Several Broken Bones, more Chipped Teeth, Female Bald Spot, Radical Obesity (not diificult to spot here though, many examples seen today) and a Neck Brace were all spotted on the short journey to and from the Entertainment section via the checkout. Granted, most of these are easy, so the challenge remains to spot the others. Time to head off to a NASCAR race in the boonies to get the rest me thinks. Standby for more redneck posts shortly. Title: How thick are Americans? Post by: weekendwarrior on Wednesday, October 5, 2005, 20:05:26 I used to sell lots on ebay!
Sold an item to some American woman, days later she said I was trying to rip her off and what the hell is that squigly thing infront of the figures. I explained to her that it was a pound sign and that there were more currencies in the world than dollars :evil: She then said that I was blatently ripping people off because Ebay is an American website! DOH They must have some good schools in America, probably better than the ones in Burnley even! Title: How thick are Americans?
