Yes I can, this is America where we speak English.

**ob1** · 03-20-2007

No problems here, mi vita!

**Thender** · 03-20-2007

No problems with me either...

I happen to be English literate.

lilyvon schtupp · 03-20-2007

i give credit to my fellow TNTers
i'll bet if this goes to the "man on the street"
it'll be as silly as when TV asks people about geography
or when
jay leno asks people if they masticate

**ob1** · 03-20-2007

I masticate at least 2 times a day...it's more enjoyable when you masticate with others.

lilyvon schtupp · 03-20-2007

if you only masticate twice daily
you may have digestion problems

Hell, we really don't speak English--that is, of course, unless you consider apartments to be "flats" and "rows" to be arguments.

We speak American, a form of broken English that we have crafted for over 200 years

Regarding lilyvon's post: This might explain why the rest of the world thinks we're idiots

**mike** · 03-20-2007

I don't give a rat's ass. If everyone thinks we're idiots, so be it. Look at how much shit we are beating them at. Money, military, god damn quality of living...!

Sorry just a an opinion.

**Bud** · 03-20-2007

I China is winning the money part. I just heard they have a one trillion US dollar trade surplus.

jpa · 03-20-2007

who cares

**Bud** · 03-21-2007

You will when they buy the company you work for.

2ox · 03-21-2007

English Muffins aren't English...........WHAT!!!!!

Flounder · 03-23-2007

I don't care where fries were invented. I just know that Mc Donald's has the best.

i'm partial to runza's myself

2ox · 03-26-2007

Runza or Don & Millies.....

Burger King has the worst......tastes like deep fried cardboard

**Bud** · 03-26-2007

Don & Millies are good but nothing beats Mickey D's

Runza's remind me of the ones at the grocery store in the freezer section.

**mike** · 03-26-2007

I'm with you 'ox. Runza has the thick fries, salted plenty, they taste great.

**ob1** · 03-26-2007

Runza, then McD's for me...

**Bud** · 03-26-2007

When Hardee's was around I used to love their curly fries.

The best curly fries were from Riverside on Hwy 73/75 on the south bank of the Platte River back in the 70's and early 80's.

**mike** · 03-26-2007

Hardees' curly fries were the shit. Along with their Frisco burger/chicken.

**Bud** · 03-26-2007

Mmmmm, yes the mushroom and swiss Frisco Burger !

I used to go there when I was a kid. Don't remember the food but I do remember the giant tortoise that used to be there. Skipping rocks into the Platte.

Is that BBQ place still there? Ernies? The ribs were pretty good...
