It's ralph day on TMO everybody! As a celebration to TMO's most patriotic Axe-Wumper, we should discuss our favourite imports from America and the things blighty could do well without. As a subtle twist, Any Americans can talk about British imports they love and the shit they really didn't want.
Yes please Industrial music. Fruit roll ups. Dominos Pizza. Cadillacs. Claire Forlani.
No thank you Gary Busey's fucking mouth.

I like the American films, all the way from quirky indie stuff through to the gigantic mega-budget schlockbusters. Not sure about things like Little Man, and Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. They should probably stop making that sort of stuff. Or at least stop exporting it. Larry the Cable: Health Inspector may provide big belly laughs for the ralph family when they all go and see it during half term (do homeschoolers even have half term?), but we've no use for it here.
The Americans can hang on to their TV sitcoms, too. They're mostly pretty bad.
On the other hand - yeah, we'll take the drama please. I was watching terrestrial TV for the first time in ages yesterday; three :seriousface: dramas on at the same time, all of them shit. British TV actors can't act worth a fuck, the scripts were shockingly bad and the direction seemed like a massively watered down version of the American style. Awful, really, really awful. Stick it next to something like The Sopranos and... well. Quite.

Dude, I don't watch tv. I've mentioned this no less than a million times. Are you being intentionally dense? If so, to what end?

It's a 'film' like what you see at the 'cinema'. I know, I know you're probably 6000 miles from the nearest cinema and you have to book a hotel as a half-way house whenever you want to go catch a movie, and there was probably one nearer to you once and all the locals marched on it with firebrands and pitch-forks because they couldn't understand the black magic that made the flat pictures move and talk. Look, forget i brought it up.

You see, I'm so out of the loop in regard to Amercian popular culture that I didn't even know you were referring to a film! Poor Thorn...knows more about crappy American culture than most Americans. Posts: 7436

I get the impression ralph would like to escape the ratrace and do the mountain-man Michigan-militia thing, but he hasn't got the cajones to quit the dayjob.

I'm not sure where you could have come up with that impression. Certainly not from anything I've ever posted here.
I get the impression Black Mask wishes he could move back in with his parents, as being an adult is too much hard work for him.

Hell, yayah! Ben & Jerrys. Westerns. Comics. The Simpsons and a lot of other animations.
Ewwww. Deep pan pizza. Sponsorship of TV shows. All American sports, except ice hockey, only that was probably invented in Canada. Import/export laws (do not bother doing business with anyone in the US). RnB. Friends. Scientology.

No, not childish. Most of the children I know are caring and full of wonder. You're full of bile and anger. I bet if Pratchett were here he could come up with the word I'm looking for.....

But, ralph, I'm driven primarily by love. It's just you who are too stupid to see it. I think you're way off about me. You say I'm not adult and yet you profess to an admiration of Terry Pratchett. What's going on in your little hairy head, ralph?

I see no evidence of love in your posts, Mask. And your posts are all I really have to go on, aren't they? I see no love...I see an angry, bitter man. Passionless. Poor angry bitter passionless Black Mask.
Pratchett helps me fall asleep at night. Any author who can accomplish that is ok by me.

Yes Louche. You may have been lied to but it helps to be good.
I took Louche to be asking what I was wondering too - what makes an American blow job any better or different from a British one?

Yes, I actually meant to post something along the lines of 'are good blow jobs exclusive to America or is this some bizarro named film/ group that Darryn likes?' But I was distracted by the bag of crisps I bought walking round the building to ascertain the lack of snow in Stockport. Which reminds me that Zygote owes me 35p for said bag of crisps, which I wouldn't have bought if I hadn't been walking round the building looking for snow in Stockport.

It's falling asleep that tends to give me problems. I used to suffer from insomnia.
I see.
A recovering alcoholic, trouble sleeping, given to violent fantasy, turned your back on society, hidden away with your family in the woods, denying your children access to socialisation and community, in denial about your environmental profligacy, fond of Pratchett...
