VU, I recall a linguistic survey of the US where they asked what the generic term for soft drink was. I forgot that the third colour accross the south was coke.

Man I love southern food, not Tex-Mex but the food of the old South. Grits, cornbread, buttermilk biscuits, black eyed peas.

Kraft Canada makes a distinction between jelly only clear juice with gelling agent and jam which contains the remains of fruit. Of course there's a wide range of quality of those remains and price ranges too. I guess it covers the range you call preserves.

Hoagy!! I always wondered wtf that was...

If you tried to order 'pop' in California, I think you'd get laughed at. It's soda or bust over here.

I'm also a firm believer in the 'jam and jelly are not the same thing' theory 'cause I like jelly more than jame.

Dude, since when does American beer = water?? I thought we'd at least graduated to piss by now... buuuummer.

Incidently, Joey, you never answered my question about whether the female visitors were required to be scantily clad as well. Not that it's an issue for me either way... but I am curious.

Caliente,

Based on your avatar, I don't think you can get more scantily clad without going au naturale.

You can thank Sketch Lad for that. Or blame him. Whichever.

"Root for the team"

mmm free beer;)

Wow... up here in Maine, if you buy a bust it just means you're getting a boob job

Obviously you aren't as cultured as we are.

(Man, my own tagline is coming back to haunt me... stupid context!!)

Nice place, KMB. Right now, I'm heading for the Bar and Grill for a nice big steak (hey, I'm not a health nut every minute of every hour, that's no way to live.)

People in Buffalo drink pop. Well, actually most people in Buffalo drink beer (Canadian beer mostly, Tamper's right, American beer sucks!), but their kids drink pop!

My college girlfriend grew up in Billerica, MA. She called it tonic. Drove me nuts! To me, tonic is carbonated water (for use mainly with gin).

They're subs here.

We call them either subs or eye-talians (damn Mainers... can't pronounce anything properly )

In honour of Lou who I know likes hockey, I present this snippet of the official language of hockey. That beautiful language known as Montreal Franglais.

Passe le Bleu s'tu plait, Loseur. We're watching de hockey, and drinkin biere, eh? Shoot da puck, callisse.

Nous mangeons les chicken wings et des steamies. Passe la rondelle, tabarnak Breezeby you @!#$.

I'm actually drinking a Blue right now. At 2:00pm on a Thursday. I rule!

In Quebec they call hot dogs "steamies" because of the way they usually cook them at hockey arenas. Beer is generally Bleu or Ex etc, depending on which brand is prevalent in your house.

And to swear, even in English, you take in vain the things used in Church sacraments. The chalice, the tabernacle, the host, etc.

Proof!



This, of course is also proof that: 1) I have a shitty digital camera, and 2) I need to shave!

And any anyplace they call hockey, "ice hockey".... don't get me started.

Come on world. The only other type of hockey really is field hockey, and that's generally played by school girls running around a soccer pitch in skirts and knee socks and these golf club thingies.

I love hockey! I like seeing grown men take swipes and cheap shots for fun and game.

But a question for all of our Aussie frineds.

We have fosters here in the states but I heard that most people kind laugh at Fosters in Australia and that it's not real beer.

Kinda like how we in Texas Think that Lone Star is the worst beer ever and the cheap stuff, but in New York they all love it and think it's the best beer ever. I perfer Dos Equis wiht a lime myself.

Also Tamper- I LOVE SOUTHERN Comfort food. Macoroni and Cheese and green beans and big ole' pieces of fried Chicken and biscuits. Yum. But you haven't lived until you have a Krispy kreme Peach Cobbler. Yeah, a dessert where you get krispy kreme donughts and add even more sugar and fruit to it.

Does that mean someone, somewhere must think that Genny is good beer? *shudder*

Love terry's discworld books. I have every one that i know of that has been released in the US.

Bleh...Im a tooheys new kinda Guy....was an Old drinker for years but I got over it. Lately though Ive been drinking a beer they make around my parts called "Blue Tongue" (its not blue, but named after the lizard)...though I mkust say an extra Dry always hit the spot. Infact, Im drinking one right now
how about Chicken Fried staek and Chittelens?
Well Im not such a fan of public nudity (being that I see it enough at work)...but just wear what you feel comfortable with...also feel free to make use of Four-ecks' Specialised tailors on lebel 6

hee hee hee...Im glad someone got it

"American beer is like having sex in a canoo"
"why?"
"Because its fucking near water"

this joke will never die!

I purposely avoided those southern meats. Chicken fried steak is deep fried breaded round steak , like a schnitzel It's okay I guess.

Chitlins is interesting. That's the African-American name (Ebonics) for tripe. Tripe is the one of the stomachs of a cow. Remember my discussion of the comparative anatomy of digestive systems in Kill-this-thread.

Yeah, have you any idea what the inside of that thing looks and smells like before its cleaned. That said, I've eaten it doesn't taste like anything much, probably because they have to wash it so much.

OK enough talk of that.

I have aswell....just for the experience. Never Again. (And I knew I had spelled Chitlins wrong )

I miss you Pierre. I recall fondly your last appearance on CBC two years ago, well over 80 years old and in frail health, teaching a whole new generation how to roll a joint.

Now you American Kids never see a famous American author on Prime Time TV teaching you how to roll a joint, eh?
