is the hoodie the best american import?

[Brendan]

Or an Ibanez

[mamafeelgood]

now were the russians not first to send a dog up and beyond?

[mockney piers]

Fox news, Ann Coulter, Creation museums, American 'Football', Forrest Gump, Obesity, Scientology

Jazz, Rock'n'roll, The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Henry James, Hunter S Thompson, Orson Wells

thinking about it, space travel and creation museums might not be imports.

[Annasfield]

The Hoff >:D

[mamafeelgood]

yes of course, creationism or whatever that education plan is called and scientology ... which leads nicely to tom cruise

[Brendan]

The destabilisation of the Middle East, modern christian fundamentalism, western/chinese antagonism, narrow minded arrogance, mormons.

>>What is 'Hooters'? A strip club?<<

A US burger (etc) chain whose gimmick is the waitresses all wear tiny orange shorts. No branches in the UK as far as I know but Interlaken has had one a few years and I believe there is wo one in Thun along the lake too

[Keef]

My Les Paul is pretty heavy, but a friend has got a really nice one which is a lot lot lighter. Still the best playing and the best sounding guitars around!

Bob, strats are very popular, and yes good guitars (just not my bag).

It's not a Stratocaster.. it's a 'Starcaster'..

I think the British were the ones behind instability in the Middle East, if you go back to the last century. And China and the United States became friends because of Nixon's bravery in the early 70s. China is just nationalistic and belligerent right now, which is not America's fault. Nero

Maybe it's a Les Paul Studio? They are a bit thinner (and cheaper).

Telecasters aren't my bag... it's a bit of an old man's guitar! I quite like the Fender Jaguar though.

Of course the best guitars are Gordon Smiths... which are British, hooray!

Sorry to hijack the thread...

"Import" shurley shome mishtake (RIP Bill), the hoodie is an American export, ain't it

[mamafeelgood]

i stand corrected, indeed i should have said export.

[Nero]

Anyone remember 'Rhoda'? That is worth the declaration of independence itself. Nero

Re: Hooters

Be advised there is also a Hooters airline, although I have not travelled with them. But the mind boggles

[SimonM]

Time to start a "Hooters for LL" campaign - you know it makes sense!

"Honk for Hooters"
