It's tough, to be the only superpower left, after bankrupting the other one. Hopefully China will catch up in a decade or so. Just remind them that when they reach the Moon, to look for the Stars n' Stripes already there.... that an American put there. 40-plus years ago.

I'd ask you for your health history, and point out what you owe American physicians and scientists for in your medical history, but no doubt I'd curse the fact you benefited from an American medical breakthrough.

ANd it was Americans who invented the communication tool of the internet- and not just Americans, but the US Defense Department's DARPA agency.

So when you are cursing the US of A, on your elevator ride up to your apartment, remember, it was an American who invented the elevator too.

Though I think most Americans would just accept a "thank you" from you, and that you move on your way.

What do you do with your yolks?


A yolk's a yolk but enough is enough: stop egging him on.

AC/DC are coming out with a new album soon.

Bear in mind that they're Australian; not American. Let's nevertheless try to NOT hold it against them.

Interestingly enough, AC/DC's largest fan base resides in the US. I therefore pose the question: is AC/DC's popularity in the US significant due to the band's voluntary appropriation by making themselves increasingly marketable to the US market, or is the US public's penchant towards purchasing millions of AC/DC's albums prove testament to their intrinsic 'bad taste', therefore rendering AC/DC's music artistically unsound?

I side with neither postulation: AC/DC are ubiquitous deities, therefore how can ignorant Americans hold this rock band in such a high esteem? Perhaps it's because Americans aren't that ignorant after all:

If it's on Yahoo answers, it MUST be true!

I love eggs over easy and then you break the yolk and you get 2 pieces of rye toast and scoop up all the yummy yolk. I don't like when you overcook an over easy egg and the yolk is solid, it defeats the whole purpose of "over-easy" eggs

And if your going to throw out the yolk of an egg which color trash bag do you put it in. I just put everything in the white bag and go down at midnight to put my trash out, I think I am doing something illegaly so I do it on the sly. I throw away all my recycables in the white bag, too!!
Are the Korean police going to come after me???

I like AC/DC but I don't like when old bands come out with new albums, I think they are poor and need money, thats why the Eagles got back together, they admittted they needed the cash!!

Apartment owners and other tenants always watch to see what the foreigner throws out in their trash, so don't think you're getting away with anything! One bag for trash and one for recyclables--it ain't too hard.

"For Those About To Rock..." was AC/DC's best!

Good pick. I vote Powerage with a 'Highway to Hell'ish aftertaste.

Well as much as I'd love to perpetuate the "I HATE AMERICANS" rants that go on I feel that eggs are a much more delicious subject. Come to think about one thing I miss about home is my Grandmothers egg salad sandwiches. She puts pepper, paprika, onion (usually chives) a hint of salt and whipped salad dressing in. The eggs are chopped up really nicly so you get lots to spread on toast. It's really good... Now I have to e-mail my Grandmother.

Oh yeah... America Sucks... at hockey Laughing

My dad used to make me scrambled eggs on toast and he would put pepper on the egg which was delicious.

A tip for cooking delicious scrambled eggs is cook them over a bain marie but if you don't have one of these use a boiling pan of water - if you can use 80/20 eggs and single cream you will turn out some delicious and creamy scrambled eggs.

Smoked fish like mackerel or kippers are always a good compliment.

I make something I like to call a scrambled omelet. Now there's a good time with eggs. Basically your regular omelet only its scrambled. I've also experimented with cinnamon and maple syrup... good times... good times.
