@I:
I feel bad after the whole Local fiasco for you–as if I'm kicking a man when he's down, but New England (not America as a whole) is also responsible for baseball, basketball
Well England is responsible for a small thing called football.

Mark against Old England: Calling our football "handegg".

Here's what sort of mood these cities inspire.
London
lotkzHsIuoA&showinfo=0Brrrrrr! Such chaos and misery! Wouldn't want to live there!
Boston
Fm_-sW4Vktw&showinfo=0So joyous! So happy! Driving the I-95 in bliss! With that rarest of British ores! The sun!
-
Our flag is also much better then yours.
-
What to do in London: Mope, walk aimlessly in the rain, mope, reflect on where it all went wrong, mope, get harassed by chimney sweeps, etc.
What to do in Boston: Have a damn fine lobster, take in the country's history, see an Aerosmith concert, punch out Steven Tyler, watch
the Patriots get their asses whoopedthe Patriots beat the Eagles in a pub with a bunch of strangers that for the next four hours will be the best friends you'll ever have, etc. -
All this talk of New England has given me the taste for some clam chowder.
-
Dumb question and please don't hate me for it.
I know it's been several months since the event, but how badly is/was New England effected by the BP oil leak? Most of my family is petrified to eat seafood now, and I don't blame them all that much. I haven't had shrimp, lobster, or seafood in general for a while, mostly because of them.
If I do go to Boston, seafood is probably 25% of the reason I'm going (food in general being 45%). Either way by the time I DO visit Boston, either the oil issue will REALLY be forgotten or we'll just eat it regardless, since we made the trip anyway.

I think you'll be fine.

Why would you think New England's seafood would be affected by something that happened in the Gulf of Mexico?

Admittedly, sort of, even though I'm far too young…
I've been to some in NY and Iowa, and the pubs I've been to didn't have an authentic feel to them; they were like the bastard children of a pub and a nightclub.
And on the topic of sport, no country nor sport can beat the British dedication to football.

Haw! Fool! You forgot who built this part of America! IT WAS THE ENGLISH AND YES, YES, THE IRISH.
The Irish are the single biggest ethnic group in New England, and they brought their love of alcohol, music, and pubs with them.
Even I in my little nobody hometown that's close to the NY border and away from the New England/Irish heartland of Boston can go to a local pub, be served by an off the boat bartender, and hear Irish pub bands play LIVE.
Imagine what Boston can do.
-
England created football, the most popular sport in the world - and then for half a century ignored FIFA and anyone else playing it, somehow once won the world championship and got known for its fans hooliganism.
So no sport points here.

The Patriots can go fuck themselves, but the Red Sox are cool.

In any transition from nation to nation, some things must have been lost, replaced, or changed a little from local influence, surely? I can't post any more on this, but when I get around to visiting Boston, I'll let you know.

...oh wait we did, you are wrong. @JERK:

So you are bragging about something we created? Explain this logic to me.
The Irish are the single biggest ethnic group in New England, and they brought their love of alcohol, music, and pubs with them.
I lol'd at you mentioning music. Does this mean your bars just play coors on repeat or what?
And then you go on to mention the drink. Enjoy your gennuiss and poitin while we enjoy the endless amounts of famous ales, lagers and spirits.
Even I in my little nobody hometown that's close to the NY border and away from the New England/Irish heartland of Boston can go to a local pub, be served by an off the boat bartender, and hear Irish pub bands play LIVE.
At least you get a watered down version of our atmosphere.

You aren't the Irish, whose Pubs are the only ones worth caring about anyway.
We got our Irish people mostly due to you being mean, so no complaining now!
The music sounds like the Pogues if you must know.And then you go on to mention the drink. Enjoy your gennuiss and poitin while we enjoy the endless amounts of famous ales, lagers and spirits.
Have you ever had a Sam Adams Smudger? Are you even of drinking age yet?
At least you get a watered down version of our atmosphere.
Authentic Irish immigrants Vs. The Old English, who will ever win in terms of having a good night out?

Do we have any Brits of drinking age here who aren't basement dwellers like Local or Terek?
This is very serious.

You can't use those figures to judge the dedication of the fans. You should also take into account the number of inhabitants in each country, the number of matches of those competitions, and even the price of a ticket.

You got the leftovers.

So a bad drunk irish imitation.
Have you ever had a Sam Adams Smudger?
Average beer indeed. You should expand your platter to something other than the realm of budwieser and co.
Are you even of drinking age yet?
Are you?
Authentic Irish immigrants Vs. The Old English, who will ever win in terms of having a good night out?
You haven't been watching the news have you?
Uh, that appears to be some sort of expo. Do you know what the inside of a bar actually looks like?
I real bar with a decent atmosphere and alcohol yes. I'm not too sure about this redneck jamboree you keep refering to. Do they even sell alcohol at these?
Are you old enough to be arguing this point?
What? US old enough or English old enough? Yes to both.

You haven't been to Ireland. You got the leftovers.
All jokes aside, someone from England probably shouldn't joke like this about Irish Americans. Who are almost all descendants of refugees from the Potato famine, Independence conflicts, Troubles, and general post-colonial poverty. All little somethings England is responsible for.
I saw my great-grandmother's pre-immigration house this past winter in a photo, it was a one room hovel that apparently fit something like ten people.So like, I mean I'm not mad personally, but…if you went around Boston talking like that, just saying... you would get fucked up bad.
So a bad drunk irish imitation.
Smudger, Smudger, man, quite while your ahead. I think you're forgetting this is a matter of PR?
Dude, I mean I want to win, but damn, you're gonna really hurt your image bad at this rate!Average beer indeed. You should expand your platter to something other than the realm of budwieser and co.Are you?
I'm a Red Wino, not much of a beer man myself though I like it enough.
Haven't had any alcohol since I've gotten back to Georgia actually…getting really thirsty for the stuff.You haven't been watching the news have you?
Our news is kind of uh….busy right now with a shooting.
(SMUDGER man....come on dude, tramplin on all the wrong places)I real bar with a decent atmosphere and alcohol yes. I'm not too sure about this redneck jamboree you keep refering to. Do they even sell alcohol at these?
Redneck refers to low class Southerners. Absolutely nothing to do with New England. (gotta do your homework man! thats how debates work!)

And that's precisely why you have lost.
"When you try to destroy a career that doesn't exist, you create one."Not that we're as obscure as you seem to think, but a great big known goes against an unknown with plenty of nice attributes + apparent international dislike of the known + bad bad bad PR job from known + good PR job from unknown = Victory for the little guy.

_The Bastard King of England
Oh, the minstrels sing of an English King of many long years ago
Who ruled his land with an iron hand though his mind was weak and low.
He love to shag the royal stag that roamed the royal wood,
But better yet to lie in bed and pull the royal pud.
His only outer garment was a dirty undershirt
That managed to hide the royal pride but couldn't hide the dirt.Chorus:
He was wild and woolly and full of fleas
And his terrible tool hung down to his knees–-
God bless the Bastard king of England.Oh, the Queen of Spain was an amorous Jane,
And a sprightly dame was she;
Who loved to fool with the royal tool
Of the King across the sea.
So she sent a royal message by a royal messenger
To ask the King to bring his ding and spend a night with her.
(Cho.)When Philip of France heard this, by chance
He declared, before his court:
"The Queen prefers my rival, because my dong is short."
So he sent the Count of Zippity-Zap to slip the Queen a dose of
the clap
To pass it to the Bastard King of England. (Cho.)When the King of England heard of this, he was walking through his halls
And he up and swore by the royal whore that he'd have the Frenchman's balls
He offered up both half his lands and a piece of the Queen Hortense
To any British subject who'd de-nut the King of France. (Cho.)Well the Earl of Sussex heard of this and straight-aways went to
France
Where he swore he was a fairy, so the King let down his pants,
He knotted a thong around that prong, and jumped on his horse, and rode along
And dragged him to the bastard king of England. (Cho.)
When the King of England saw this sight, he s*** all over the floor,
For during the ride, his rival's pride had stretched a yard or more
Then the merry maids of England, came down from London town
And shouted 'round the castle walls "To Hell with the British crown!"And Philip of France usurped the throne, his scepter was the royal bone
By which he'd bitched the bastard King of England! (Cho.)_ -
Such an inspiring contribution.
So this was a serious discussion. Lol, Is this what they call Old English Humour?
