How should we get even with Britain for the gulf oil spill?

[struggle4progress]

Poll question: How should we get even with Britain for the gulf oil spill?

[Deep13]

1. Pssst ...Texas was never an English colony.

And blaming the average Brit for the gulf spill is like blaming the average American for mountain-top-removal. Yeah, there's some responsibility, but mostly it is the industry that is to blame.

[jobycom]

3. Don't stop him, he's rolling.

:rofl:

[struggle4progress]

4. Oh, horse-hockies! Haven't you ever heard of the Alamo Rental? We were renting Texas

from England and then we did that Louisiana purchase thing. I learned all about it in high school

[jobycom]

2. The last option only works if Favre comes back this season.

Otherwise it would just be a laugher.

[nolabear]

5. Aw c'mon. The last thing we need is to make an enemy of the average British citizen.

[gratuitous]

6. What are they gonna do?

Make us eat spotted dick?

[struggle4progress]

8. So yer votin aginst givin em Texas?

17. love RedDwarf...smegheads..

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Turn the white cliffs of Dover into the Blackened Cliffs of Nuke-Created Radiactive Glass

Oh, and we should send them dentists to improve their teeth so they will discover how truly overcooked their meat and two veg are and maybe they'll stop cooking everything into a mush.

[Brother Buzz]

10. Steal St Andrews and secretly airlift it to the Gulf for the British Open

Visualize Mother-of-all water hazards for the world to view.

[KamaAina]

12. Disseminate this far and wide

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

13. Declare war then let 'em conquer us.

Universal health care, anyone? God save the Queen! :yourock:

[whistler162]

14. Make Sarah Palin Ambassador to the Court of St. James

of course they will likely attack us if we did.

[petronius]

15. Here's what we do: we all start spelling words like honour and colour the British way,

we call trunks boots and hoods bonnets, and we pronounce schedule in that weird way that they do. At first they'll think we're mocking them, but we say "No, no, we've realized that you were right all along!" After a couple of years they'll let their guard down and start feeling warm fuzzies, at which time we all revert to proper American English, point and laugh, and say "Hah hah, we were mocking you the whole time!"

They won't admit that it hurts, but inside they'll be sobbing...

[struggle4progress]

21. I never did understand why they couldn't bother to learn English over there

I mean, one ought to say "elevator" when one means "elevator," instead of confusing everybody by saying "lift"

[SoxFan]

16. Implement an organ meat embargo

That'll show 'em.

[HipChick]

18. start driving on the other side of the road

[struggle4progress]

20. This is the sort of excellent protest any of us can make anytime and

anywhere: alleyways, residential streets, city thoroughfares, highways ...

It's something people are willing to do, and it makes a real impression! I remember driving home from a road trip once, 70 mph at 2 AM down divided highway, and suddenly I see headlights coming my way: boy, did I notice that car!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[HipChick]

31. I was on a biz trip once out of town and drove a good 2-3 miles down the road

wondering why the hell in this town they would post the signs backwards? Must be some hellva backwards arse town? Then it occured to me, I was driving down the highway on the wrong side of the street....thank goodness there was very little traffic in that town..

[struggle4progress]

32. You're a patriot! I'm sure John Bull felt suitably chastised!

[Petrushka]

22. Perhaps the question should be: How should we get even with JPMorgan Chase for the gulf oil spill?

JPMorgan Chase is, after all, BP's #1 stockholder.

[struggle4progress]

26. Whoa. A rational response! I don't think you'll fit into the American political scene
