"Why do the American Establishnment persist in stepping on other folks' National Icons, fail to realise they've done it, and then act all outraged when foreigners tread on theirs?"

'Cause we're Americans ferchrissakes. What we ain't got we buy and what we don't use we throw away and we got the money and power to do it so just suck on our SUV tailpipes. You doofus Brit types have traditions but the damn things are all real old. Shitfire Bub, what good are those? They're all worn out! Get yourselves some new ones like us. We have traditions that matter.....like having 14 guns in every household and if you fuck with that one, it could cost ya'!!

HP Sauce? Who gives a flying fart about that crap? Get some A1 and be happy. You need something a lot less bland than HP. It ain't no wonder y'all like it I suppose since your "traditional" foods have the distinction of being bland as hell and yet capable of producing monstrous amounts of flatulence. You need some new tradition like ours......Pizza, Nachos, General Tso's Chicken, Phad Thai, Sushi, Samosas, Moussaka.......a few still eat hot dogs here but that tradition went down the tubes in favor of Bratwurst.

Yeah, you talk about American, that's a tradition.....Brats on a hoagie roll with onions and Swiss cheese and a Budweiser. Y'all ain't got no beer like that do you? Damn right ya' don't!!!
