No, only one American. And not so much “hate” as “don’t see the point of”.

**RickJay** hates American baseball. Its true. He prefers Canadian baseball, with all its funky rules and wider and longer fields and stuff.

And we’re all fat and live in our parents basements. Don’t forget that. You can tell we’re fat because we need such BIIIIIIIG delusions to hide behind.

Oh Torgo. You’re the laziest man on Mars.

I’m shocked to hear there are human beings on other worlds. We really do spread like a virus.

How is **Le Jacquelope** going to get the massive infusions of attention he needs to survive with a mere post? It takes threads, and lots of them!

C’mon, man, use your brain.

It’s Brussel_ **s** _ Sprouts, moran. No wonder you hate Yourope.

(Anyone notice a distinct vegetable theme in the past two threads?)

A zombie joke in a non-zombie thread? That’s just _wrong_.

Yes, as soon as I read your post I automatically scrolled up to check the dates.

A failed invasion, I’ll note. The [War Museum](http://www.warmuseum.ca/splash.html) in Ottawa has an interesting area that covers that war.

[plug]A fascinating museum, by the way, and well worth visiting. It’s patriotic, moving, and even-handed all at the same time. Quite a feat.[/plug]

Oh gods…it’s starting to happen! The combination of FXM and Le Jac is causing the board to turn into a black hole! I went to post in the RickJay Hates America thread and instead I’m in the equally idiotic I Wish To Spout Off About Outsourcing and Tariffs In an Old and Uninteresting Way thread! :eek:

That’s an excellent question. In lieu of an answer, I’ve merged the two threads together. Post #93 was the OP of the other thread.

I wish I could say this is the first time I’ve been mistaken for a massive gravitic anomaly.

I think Jac’s problem is that he can’t figure out how to turn off the ads that say 'Hot Chinese women want to meet you! (Except if you are that dim bulb **Le Jacquelope** )."

Millions of Americans rally around Jaq. Wait. No wait. They’re coming.

Just give it a minute. Everyone agrees with him. They’ll be here reallly, really soon. This board is full of fucktards. All of America disagrees with this board. Le Jaq is the only sane one here.

You guys suck. Fuck. I thought America would be here by now.

eta: fuck China.

aeta: for the record, hot Chinese women _do_ want to meet Jaq. They really do.
