Post your "American Moments" here.

[Dysnomia]

Gilroy Garlic Festival traffic.   

[Juana]

Clubbing followed by Taco Bell

[Jasper]

The kids we have as guests have informed me that they don't normally have any activities other than tv and computers.

They are six and three-ish.

Amurrica's future leaders, right there.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Thread over.



(not really, keep going)

The older one seems a bit intelligent, but even she has no attention span whatsoever, and can't describe simple things to me.  And is it normal not to know your own birthday at six?

I'm pretty sure I did at that age...

[dontblameyoko]

Having a pretty nice house, a big TV, a shiny fancy car, and a motorcycle...and still complaining that you have to pay income tax *at all*.

(This is true of someone in my extended family.)

lol

I'm outraged that I should have to drive on asphalt roads to take my kids to free school at all!   

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Shit, my American moment was that I just watched that and said "Wow, even the foreigners know Palin is a nut job"

Well, yeah, she had shit written on her hand. If you need a cheat sheet for politics, you should just sit down and keep quiet.

[AFK]

Driving my Hummer to BJ's Wholesale Club to get gigantic tubs of cheese curls.

Clubbing followed by Taco Bell

That seems fairly reasonable to me.  Clubbing is hard work, food is required afterward.

The American part is Taco Bell. Gringo-fied Mexican food with giant serving sizes for ridiculously fucking cheap.


Today, I had an orientation (which I bailed on, because the place is shady). The lady giving it gave us rule lists which were absurdly draconian and horribly misspelled, and she was morbidly obese. Her fat pooled around her hips in one smooth roll, which dangled five inches below her hip bones (or where I can only guess they are). There was a dimple in the front of her jeans, a good three inches below where her hips must be, which I believe to be where her belly button. When she passed me, she smelled of fried food.
