Optional Opinion said:
I am a self appointed emissary of the English. I would like to say, we forgive you for throwing the tea into the Boston Harbour, we forgive you for having better dental care than us and we even forgive you for Jersey Shore *shudders*
Most importantly, I would like to thank you for bringing Mountain Dew to our shores.
I might be late in finding these bottles in our shop fridges, but I don't care. Thanks, these are some bloody good beverages.
I don't know how long Mountain Dew has been stocked in our shops but if you haven't tried any then I suggest you find some.
I would also like to thank you for making 'Family Feud' so we were able to copy you and make 'Family Fortunes', yes this was years ago but I would still like to say thank you, I grew up on Family Fortunes.
Why the hell are you thanking them?
They should be thanking us!
They gave us mountain dew?
We gave them empiricism and therefore science and therefore every invention they'll ever invent! Were it not for
our science pioneers, Locke, Hume, Newton and so on they'd have
nothing.
They gave us Family Feud?
We gave them television! Were it not for Willoughby Smith they'd not even have the damn idiot box.
They freed themselves of our reign?
We gave them George Washington! Were it not for John Washington, an Englishman, they'd still be ours. They think they're an independent nation? No, they're our prodigal sons.
Dear America,
You tried to break free of English influence? The only thing you've broken is our hearts.
