Having just returned from 3 weeks in Florida, I don't recall any one wearing stetsons. Baseball caps in profusion, though
Hi there!

I think a baseball cap would be more like it, check shirt, shorts, socks and trainers...oh and stick a cushion under your shirt to give the body shape same authenticity! 
Hey American cousins I'm only teasing. I'm sure you lot could come up with something equally parodic about us Limeys! 
Hi there!

I'm losing the gut after having Faith, thanks. (Though I can't blame her, as I was about 5 pounds heavier when she was a year old than I was 3 days before her birth)
Some people brine their turkey before cooking it, but I don't, and mine turns out quite juicy, if I do say so myself
Hi there!

What? Make fun of limeys? Never, sir, I say never! 
Hi there!
Smigg-the-Miserable Posted Nov 24, 2005
Really? I make fun of the english all the time, and I am one. Then again I'm naturally cynical.
Hi there!
EvilClaw: The Catmanthing Posted Nov 24, 2005
I prefer to make fun of my fellow americans. Its so much easier!
Hi there!

I reckon we'd push you close though Evil. Actually laughing at ourselves and self parody is one of the things I like about being a limey. I prefer to call it irony rather than cynicism, smigg. Personally I'm not much of a fan of cynicism as I'm still such a little kid at heart!
Happy Thanksgiving to all Uncle Sams and Aunty Samanthas!
Don't eat too much! Fat chance!

I followed your advice and didn't eat too much! 
I can still move around!

I sincerely hope your attempt to dress American was a success. I also hope you didn't burst into the room, clad like an extra from The Magificent Seven, yelling yeehaw and firing a six shooter into the roof. ...Or should that be rough, as it's American

I think you're mistaking southern culture for the whole of america.

You could be right, there. Not everyone chews tobaccy, drinks from a hog jar or rides into town. I do apologise. One, of course, should beware of stereotypes.
Yup it is bloody cold today
