Americans have no taste
James A. Watson
>Keep in mind that I
>have almost _no_ patriotism at all.
I hope this is not true. Patriotism is love of one's country. Surely
there is enough beauty and goodness here in the United States to
prompt love for it, even as is the case with most countries. Remember,
one can love the _country_ without loving its _government_ (though I
think ours is a pretty good one). The Doctor loves Gallifrey, though
he does not always approve of Time Lord policy. I hope, for the sake
of your happiness, that 'nationalism' represents your meaning far more
accurately than does 'patriotism'.

Of course Americans have taste, providing you marinate them gently
overnight in the right mixture of herbs and spices, then serve them
with chips....I mean crisps....no, chips.....oh, buggerit!
Sadly, it's another case of dealing with the stereotypes - the
stereotypical American is a terrible, terrible creature, but then
again so is the sterotypical chinless Brit wonder and the lager
swilling cork-hatted Aussie..... then again, with America producing
such a high proportion of the worlds TV, film and other entertainment
media it's a pity that so much of it is geared to the lowest common
denominator..... or, as a compatriot of mine once remarked,
We gave them Shakespeare, the industrial revolution and the judiciary
system - they gave us cruise missiles, McDonalds and Beavis'n'Butthead,
not to mention good ol' slick Willy C! Given the track record, I fear
that some degree of trepidation over the Americanisation of Dr Who is
only natural, n'est ce pas? (Lets slag off the french - EVERYBODY hates
them!)

With comments like these, its no wonder the colonies decided to
overthrow the Brits rule.
And one MORE thing.....*WE* have (or will have) Doctor Who being made
...unlike some poor sod of a country who for the last 5 or six years
wondered not how to bring back this programme, but to milk it for all
its worth ;)

I rather hope we taste like chocolate. :-) Actually, there *is*
someone you can ask about how Americans taste: Jeffrey Dahmer. :-p

Alt.drwho.tasteless? How can we be sure what the Doctor does or doesn't
taste like?...
Oh Kaaaaaaaate... :-)

Well, thanks, Timelady...sometimes it is. :-)
Hmm, Christopher, what *was* this image you had of me? :-) Your post
hasn't arrived here yet, as far as I can tell, but were you referring
to my mention of Jeffrey Dahmer knowing how Americans taste? Yes, I'm
sorry about that; if I remembered when I'd posted it, I could excuse
it with my silly frame of mind late at night. ;-) Otherwise, there
*is* no excuse. Hee hee hee...
An apology is probably in order. <grovel, grovel>

The real question is of course whether the Doctor is "slimey, yet
satisfying". (Those outside of the US with the possible exception of Canada
will have to wait about 3 months or longer to get that one.)

Hee hee! Well, you know, Timelady, *everything* that's exotic meat
allegedly tastes like chicken, so why wouldn't a Time Lord? :-) I
wonder what Huitzilin thought his *mind* tasted like... <grin> ("What

Nectar, of course.
Ooo, I just gave myself a frisson. How pitiful. :-)
Embarassingly, the pizza line is from a zombie flick...
