"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Breakfast of champions
Some European exquisite thought to make fun of Americans by posting a picture of a huge breakfast with a side of semi-automatic pistol. The real comedy, however, is in the comments. Check it out here (big H/T to Jeff G. at Protein Wisdom).
They definitely are, Paco. Not only is the gun facing the wrong way, there is only one egg. C'mon who eats just one egg! And wheat toast? Missing potatoes as well. I will give the poor chap points for trying.
"If the toast looks at you the wrong way, shoot it."
In at concert by the Ckancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Tom Clancy encouraged the audience to sing along with one of the songs. He said they shouldn't be afraid to sing if people were looking at them funny for singing.
"If somebody looks at you funny, belt him one. Wait a minute, I thought I saw a few nuns come in. If one of them looks at you funny, belt her anyway."
WHAT? No grits? No hot sauce? Just one egg? You call that dry mess buttered toast? Multiple floral dishes? No insulated coffee mug that will hold AT LEAST four cups? BURNED BACON? Pistol facing the bacon instead of being properly situated for easy access?
*sigh* It's like watching a Bollywood version of a country line dance.
As I posted over there:
ReplyDeleteNO American would bring his sidearm to the breakfast table and then place it with the grip FACING THE WRONG WAY. Qu'elle gaucherie!
Europeans are notoriously bad at getting American table settings right.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite comment: Only one gun? What are you, a little girl?
ReplyDeleteSecond favorite: Europeans...how do these people think we bailed them out of two World Wars...butter knives?
That's my 6 year old granddaughter's breakfast... now show mine.
ReplyDeleteWheat? I think that's Euro-rye. They haven't heard of white bread over there.
ReplyDeleteFreakin' hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast of Champions!
