aww shit. I hope that wasn't his son behind him. fuck

I recall going to the Museum of the Confederacy (across the street from the WAAAAY worth it D-Day Museum), and in a very discrete corner, they mention that, in the early days of Secession, a number of Freedmen came to the various recruitment offices, asking to join up. In their eyes, they weren't going to let those damn Yankees push them around. The commanding officer of New Orleans very politely stated, "No," and let the matter drop. Which is everything you need to know about slavery being the root cause of the civil war.

It's true...Yankees are a Fascist regime, now if we can convince enough people of that maybe they'll burn down their stadium!

I was re-watching http://videosift.com/video/Yoga-for-Yankees and made this tube chop just for you...

I couldn't resist!

I was saying Boo-ooks.



Also I don't let my glasses stay empty for twenty minutes, but hey, if that's the way you roll then who am I to stand in the way of your effeminate ass? Maybe you should be drinking wine coolers.

Black coffee isn't sweet. That's a terrible analogy. Terrible. Terrible. Boo. Books.

But seriously, when I say bourbon I just mean Southern whiskey, so I mentally include Jack and Jim and all the the other ones. But you're right, there's a difference. I like Southern whiskey because the sweeter flavor is good on my palette. It's not super sweet, just slightly sweet to the taste. And if you finish a glass of neat whiskey (any type) and set the empty glass out for twenty minutes or so, you can smell the sweet notes or smokey notes. A good Woodford Reserve smells like vanilla.

Slightly oaky doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it gives whiskey a certain charm. I don't care for Scotch, because it's way too smokey. Though if I'm in Vegas and being a douche with a cigar, I'm drinking Scotch because it just works together.

I know bourbon is sweeter than scotch, but then a cup of black coffee is sweeter than scotch too. However, all bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels, and that does give it a hint of smoky flavor, which my sensitive palate can detect. That's why if I have to drink an American whiskey made mostly from corn I'll drink Tennessee whiskey, like Jack Daniels, because it's charcoal filtered. That helps remove a little more of the smoky flavor.

Fuck Kentucky and their fucking bourbon - unless I'm on a jag and there's nothing else around. I'll drink girly peppermint schnapps before bourbon, and that sweet, syrupy shit is pretty damn low on my list.

Now I know you're a Yankee. Bourbon isn't typically smokey. What bourbon are you drinking? It's typically made from mash and is sweeter.

Really? I kid about Canadian whiskey - Crown Royal, Pendleton, and Tangle Ridge are all great tasting, and even regular old Canadian Club and VO are pleasing to my palate. I know there are a few people out there who dismiss Canadian whiskey because they claim it's too 'light' in flavor, and for the cheap shit that's true. But a glass of good Canadian hooch, especially the higher end stuff like Gibson's and Wiser's, can stand toe to toe with whiskey made anywhere else on Earth, IMHO.

Scotch and bourbon both taste too smoky to me, but they'll do if there's nothing else around.

Lol, I've only had bourbon once and it didn't really impress me. I still haven't had any Canadian whiskey. Weird, eh?

Didn't you check the playlist I linked to in my first comment? It has only 4 videos - all yours, fixed by me, only in the last few hours. You must not have understood my Yankee dialect.>> ^blankfist:

@kronosposeidon, yeah, I figure this wouldn't be successful, but I thought I'd try.

Doesn't this guy sort of sound like George W. Bush, except that he can string a complete sentence together and correctly pronounce words with more than one syllable?

Silly Yankees can't distinguish between Southern dialect.

I'm sure I didn't have to spell this out, but the lack of a sidewalk contrasting with the sports car (a 'Diablo') is clearly a comment on nihilism and religiosity, while the breasts and surgical glove (in yellow, commonly used by nurses) should be interpreted as references to birth, motherhood, and of course the life-giving sun.

'Yankee Doodle' is just a red herring. A delightful red herring.

You know what the sad part is? Everyone hates the people of the US instead of the leaders. You think a majority of the people in the US determine foreign policy? No. You think the people determine where the troops or funding go? No. The only control we have is over who we elect. Which as history has shown consistently, they preach one thing and do the opposite every single time. We think, "Hey! Finally some change and we can fix all the shit we've done wrong!" Then the guy gets elected, gives the people the finger and does what he wants. It just amuses me when I meet people from other countries who automatically hate and/or loathe me for things out of my control. I'm sure there's things we as a whole can do but...

You know what the really sad part is? Most of us simply don't give a fuck because it doesn't have a direct effect on us. So next time you hate someone for being an American, don't do it because of the leaders, at least do it for their indifference. If I could run for President I would, but I just don't have the resources or backing because doing what you say is a bad thing in politics. That's why foreign policy sucks. That's why the shit that happens around the world is out of our control.

Change it or go play basketball with my buddies...99 times out of 100 I'm grabbing my sneaks.

It's just a continuation of the sad, shameful story of American foreign policy since World War II: As long as you're not communist, or are not mean to Israel, you will be our friend, and we totally don't give a shit how you treat your people. And still some idiots are completely baffled about why so many people hate America. Are they supposed to love us when we befriended their brutal leaders? Nope, it's just easier to label legitimately angry Muslims as terrorists who hate freedom, apple pie, monster truck rallies, and the Yankees. And everyone knows you don't have to be a terrorist to hate the Yankees.
