I've gotten plenty of action just on being American. A lot of "accent" nonsense. Many of the ladies like the accent. But not just the accent. I've had success from women who like the "American personality" (whatever that is) or "American mentality".
In England? Half of the English love Americans, half hate Americans. 50-50 chance.

I imagine you'd have the same odds in a lot of countries
But that's probably just crazy talk!

True! It's rare for other countries to like us, so it's an appealing thing!
Also, to tie this up with the girlfriend lessons that should be taught in high school, if you move abroad, your prospects go up considerably. Whatever kind of ladies you went for in your homeland...aim higher. You can do it.

Look at what your terrible immigration laws have wrought upon you England! Gaze upon this and despair.
Also, I don't believe for a second that you got a lot of action after going on your Randian heroic journey. Not for a second.
I think the laugh comes too soon, maybe a bigger pause before it would help make it more natural feeling.
Really? Like the actual motion?
No, I was thinking the actual pacing of the dialog, it matches the audio just fine.
Looking at it again and maybe it's just me but it sounds like he should be going backwards on an inhale at the beginning of the laugh rather than leaning forwards?
actually, that's the one thing that will probably drive me out of chicago eventually
the winter fucking sucks, and summer gets way too hot
we compensate by having an awesome street festival like every weekend from may to september though
And now that the Eisenhower is completely torn apart, all the assholes from the West suburbs are unable to crowd them out!
I live in the west suburbs.
now all we need to do is shut down the Metra and you suburbanites will have to start your own weekend festivals!
actually, now that the Eisenhower is torn apart, all of the assholes that live in the city are taking the Kennedy instead and fucking up my commute from near the loop to the northwest suburbs. it shouldn't take 45-60 fucking minutes to get from Division to Montrose at 7am, it should take 15-20. I want my highway back so I can stop driving almost the entire length of Lincoln Ave. every day. :x
This, or some version of this, is now the official story of every goddamn Chicago resident. Some way, some how, travel times are doubled. I am equal parts in Chicago (academic office) and Schaumburg (corporate office) and it hardly matters - both are completely fucked backwards and forwards.

I love the idea of satisfying your desire for liberty and adventure and your good old-fashioned American pioneering spirit by using your ancestry to move back to fucking Europe

Hey Veretas, I found a video that might be worth looking at. The Toy Story thing reminded me of a scene where Woody laughs hard like your guy, so I found it.
So I learned by reading this that the sole purpose of education, your personal choices, and the meaning of life in general is to convince yourself you're better off than people you knew. This is "winning".

It's fucking ridiculous. I don't really understand why the Kennedy outbound is so bad, since inbound appears to be fine, or even better than it was. There isn't even any construction on the Kennedy, so it doesn't make much sense to me.
I'm hoping it evens out in a month or so when CPS gets out for the summer, since there'll be less people rushing to get their kids to school in the morning, but who knows if that'll actually help or not. I do know that I was making record times the week they were on spring break, but some new construction project will probably end up fucking it up again anyway.

And yet somehow, the more thought and effort you put toward "winning," the more of a loser you are.

well, it made me laugh, so that's something.
especially the part about embodying the spirit of the great pioneers.

tKadith, I can't change the audio dog, that's just how it is straight from the film.

Seems like he's going backwards by going to England.
No offense to our British members.
The plan is working
We will have our Empire again
:^: This made me laugh too hard.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
Fuck.
How could we even hope to compete with an Empire built upon LearnedHand?
The pluck, the verve, the joi de vivre. It would be magnificent.
You should try picking up chicks there. They love American mentality just as much.

It's right at the end.
But it appears if I've smoked pot at any point in the past 3 years then I'm not eligible to work for them
Even though it was one time last year
Most people tend to lie about stuff like that, which is disconcerting when you think about it.

They put you through a polygraph test, man
Those things may not be foolproof but I sure as hell ain't gonna be able to beat it
And yet somehow, the more thought and effort you put toward "winning," the more of a loser you are.
I guess it's like The Game.
In that it's retarded.
Well then, I guess I was talking out of my ass. I didn't know they did automatic polygraph tests.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they do it as part of the interview process for all potential employees
I thought that was a pretty good movie
