# Because we are bombarded with US culture 24 hours a day.
Even when we are sleeping, US military satelites beam images of American popular culture directly into our brains.

# Real pizza...
..like in Italy?

Actually I cannot stand root beer - it tastes incredibly medicinal.

However, coming from a country that likes to eat offal chopped up and stuffed inside a sheep's stomach, I can't really criticise anybody else.

# what is haggis anyway?
I mean, everyone's all like "ewww, it's sheeps stomachs!" but what the hell do they think hot dogs are? and sausage skin is intestine too, so what's the big deal?

# My point exactly.
If it tastes good, who cares what it is made from - that's my motto.

"1 sheep's pluck (stomach bag)

2 lb.. dry oatmeal
1 lb. suet
1 lb. lamb's liver (you can substitute a selection of organ meats)
2 1/2 cups stock
1 large chopped onion
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt

Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12."

# We had Action Man toys at first,
but after the GI Joe comic was released in a joint title with Transformers, they became popular for a new generation under the GI Joe name.

# but
they still sell Action Man as Action Man.

He has been tarted up a bit, but it's still the same guy.

# I think maybe
they're completely different things. I'm too tired to remember this afternoon, never mind primary school.
