I have now adopted an all apple pie, burger, coke and Budweiser diet. Whoops, scratch that last one. Waffle-eating surrender monkeys. The only true sports are the one with the stick and the ball, all the waiting around, scratching and spitting and that other one with the pigs bladder. Shortly after 10.00am this morning I abjured potentates and agreed to bear arms (or was it bare arms?) WITHOUT crossing my fingers or saying "....NOT!" at the end. I was joined by 40 other new citizens from a total of 18 different countries. I've never really enjoyed that "Stand Up..." song until today, when it brought a tear to my eye (accompanied by suitable video footage showing vast sweep and diversity of nation including, importantly, much reference to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to make it what it is). Anyway - I'll shortly be popping a bottle of California bubbly and toasting all of you (us!). Not someone I always agree with but this is what the President had to say in his welcoming message: "...Americans are generous strong and decent not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it...." Thanks for having me. |

Welcome, my fellow American.
You're still a little limey-ish. However, nobody will question you now when you're driving around in your cool new wheels. ![]() Also, you're now eligible for protection by the one and only:

Congratulations Mr. Scooba, US citizen extraordinaire. Just wondering how you could possibly give up the Queens world for this derelict, totally confusing, racist, liberal, conservative, religious, atheistic, red necked, gay, lesbian, bi, democratic, war mongering, peace loving, racially integrated and seperated blimey country? Irregardless of the fact that now you have to allow the government to search your every cavity should they feel you may be harboring something that the authorities might be curious about, I might just understand..............this is the greatest country that has existed in over 2000 years. The reason? Because of every one of the reasons I previously mentioned. Welcome to the fold. And although you are equal in every respect to OG and Jake as a citizen.....you can never become the President of this country. Yeah, I know, more racism. But seriously, when you had to say the pledge of allegiance...did you put your hand over your heart? Man, you are deep doodoo now. |

You totally left out epidemically obese and hopelessly in-debt. Scooba, you can pick up your insulin and bankruptcy forms at the voting booths. Still, for all her faults -- and boy does she have them -- Lady Liberty and the States she watches over are something to truly behold. I love this land, from sea to shining sea. ...Great, now I'm thinking of that Lee Greenwood song and crying like a newborn.

Welcome to our/your dysfunctional little Utopia. Remember to get your hand stamped when leaving so you don't have to pay the cover charge again. |

Oh geez....don't be gay (well, ok...go ahead). Please, even though we have Lady Liberty watching over us (and I know I go into the harbor once a week just check up her dress....yes, she changes panties on a regular basis...but always the same drab green color), do not forget, she was a French gift. Which means it could be considered soemthing like French Fries, even though the French Fries/Freedom Fries didn't actually come from France but from Belgium. And they taste much better with mayonnaise and not that bloody red sauce known as catsup (Ketchup is a registered brand name and not the true name of the sauce...it's CATSUP you morons). Mayonnaise has a certain regal quality to it, similiar to people living under the rulership of the Queen. I wonder how long it takes to become a British citizen. Does anyone know the required procedure? |

If you find out what it takes, I'm totally in, as long as they don't make me eat black puddings and stuff. I look forward to using words like "bloody" and "smashing" without referring to my drunken weekends... and I also look forward to poor oral hygiene and a tweed hat like Sherlock got at the Scotland Yard. Right? Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Do they make tea as strong as espresso? Because, if not, I'm going to need to invent that. |
