Reasons to Come to America
 
This is a current precis.
There may be more.

Oh - and I've been to the US twice already. But that was BC, if you get what I mean.

Dwellars of course, above and beyond anything else
(this list is mostly superficial)
Theme Parks
Real BBQ
Taco Bell (what?! we don't have that here)
Larger clothing sizes
The spread of opinions I get on the Cellar
Great service
Local food I've never heard of
Extraordinary scenery
Being foreign (don't knock it - you'd get it over here too!)
Tasting things I've only read about

Great service?

Nice toilet paper. Cushiony soft. Absorbent.

Great coffee. The tradeoff, though is execrable tea. In styrofoam cups.

Our history is shorter than yours, but no less rich.

Should you come to Philadelphia, in addition to meeting a LOT of Dwellars, you can see exactly where the colonies flipped the bird at King George. And where Rocky ran up the steps.

What are plane tickets going for these days? I bet you'd have a blast.

Our wonderful national parks where you can go back in time much further than 1600 or 1700. Mesa Verde for example. It has 600 cliff dwellings that were created by Pueblo Indians between AD600 to AD1300. Come on out West and I'll show you some incredible stuff. I won't even make you camp unless you want to. ;)

I'll take you skinny-dipping in the old sewage lagoon!! Not many women can resist that

FTFY

Really good all you can eat buffets
Films showing months before they are released at home
Cheap petrol (so people will drive miles to meet me)
Powerful showers

...But there are many good reasons. These are just not they.

I have to question the coffee thing. Dazza has been to the US a couple of times, and he reckons he has yet to find a place that serves good coffee. I wouldn't know having never been there myself.

All I have is here-say from pretty much everyone.

Wooden rollercoasters would be the only reason to come -the rest is just Alton Towers on a bigger scale -queues and all.

This is awesome but........ the cellar is in NO FUCKING WAY representative of the majority of the US. That's why we like it. it's a worldly release at the end of the day. Look at us dwellars -we're all people who need a little extra mental stimulation outside our everyday lives. Most of America is sat in front of American Idol or some such. Same as Most of UK is watching Corrie. And the Aussies are watching their didgeridoos and the French are watching paint dry.......

The coffee thing is crazy. It's kind of like freedom. Americans are taught from birth that they have the best kind and they just can't consider any other suggestion.

monster 02-16-2012 09:45 PM

(Sorry Guys, I do love you and I love living here, but American coffee sucks and you are not the freeest nation on Earth)
