Purely with reference to the title of this thread, I often hear our American cousins take the mick* out of the British for having shonky teeth. Can't argue with them on this one! 1 hour ago, wateroftyne said: Should we be outraged at that, and create tension and angst that wasn't there before, or just smile knowingly and move on Probably best not smile too much, given the collective state of our teeth. 1 hour ago, wateroftyne said: or get right back at them with a light-hearted reference to their mad** gun laws? Their gun laws are probably the dimmest thing about our beloved American cousins and a pretty good reason not to poke fun at them: they've got guns we don't 😁 But, let's face it, there's an absolute ton about the USA the rest of the world happily laps up from Motown to Netflix via FBook and Instagram, searching for stuff on Google on our PCs loaded with MSoft Office, whilst doing our shopping on Amazon. Btw one of the reasons we're all here on Basschat is that Leo Fender did have some influence over electric bass. Another dim American, right? Quote

Jason Karloff Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Cetara you are truly valiant. You haven't left your post for days, still steadfastly picking off the occasional cretin who strays into view. I doff my cap. What have I missed? Do I still need to get the lyrics to American Pie by Don McLean tattooed on my Rear end as penance? Edited January 7, 2022 by Jason Karloff 1 Quote

Jason Karloff Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 You know this is the worst part. The waiting. All the cretins have gone quiet. They have stopped charging our positions. Then all of sudden in a few hours some wally will stumble into view with a "I think rascism is a blot on humanity" Thanks. Hadn't considered that position. 1 Quote

Jason Karloff Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 Whoooooah. I think you need to dumb it down a bit mate. A mastery of two languages? You realise the people we get in here think penicillin is a type of edible carpet lino. Quote

Jason Karloff Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Aww. See I was afraid of that. I realised my faux paus after I finished typing. Taking a crazy long shot here. Going by your moniker you could possibly be Dutch??? Which means you can speak 16 languages. Edited January 7, 2022 by Jason Karloff Quote

Jason Karloff Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 You say that but the longer this thread goes on for, the more time someone has in Texas to finish building a hoovercraft in their mum's basement. Then jet across here and shoot me in the plums. 😛 1 Quote
