[ America appears holding her baseball bat. She wished to go home, but got this instead. ]

Hey! Who wants to play baseball with me? I can, like, teach the aliens how to play too! [ If you don't know what America is, she considers you an alien. ]

Baseball is one of the best American pastimes, so it's up to me to teach you. Don't be too disappointed when I beat you, hahaha!

But that sounds, like, German.

Well, I'd better not tell you about hamburgers, then.

[sheroic.livejournal.com]

... Tell me.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Wow. You have absolutely no idea how many American foods started off German, do you?

Hamburg and Frankfurt were towns that loved ground beef and sausage, what can I say? Hell, they're big on apple pie, too.

[sheroic.livejournal.com]

... That's totally not funny.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Who's joking?

Besides - You're fucking America. Everyone else in the world brings the best of what they've got to your shores so you can improve it. A burger isn't a hamburg steak anymore, it's better.

Yeah, but apple pie. No good American would ever imply that apple pie isn't American!

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Are you seriously saying that's what you got out of what I said?

Apple pie is pretty goddamn American, yeah. That doesn't mean that no one else can make them, do it a different way, and have it taste good.

I mean - seriously. Most of America is picking and choosing the stuff that's awesome about everywhere else and improving on it. Making better frankfurters than Frankfurt isn't nothing.

... As long as you say American stuff is the best, I guess I can forgive you.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

More often than otherwise, yeah. It kind of is. And unlike some other citizens, I have a basis for comparison when I say that.

If you see any other countries around here, you should tell them that! They don't believe me!

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

There's a Viet Nam. A female one. Who met a male you.

[sheroic.livejournal.com]

... I don't know where you're getting this stuff, sis. Vietnam's a dude, I saw him myself. And I think it's pretty obvious I'm not a guy.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Funny, that's why she said you couldn't be America. That America was male.
