All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I keep hearing this, I'm working on the assumption that the more people love for the show the better.

For values of people that equal people with Nielsen boxes, sure.

None of them post here (now that Steph's excursion is done), and none of them are living outside the US.

Ja, si, muy gut.

(Behold! I can mix up European languages of which I only know three words each despite having studied them for two years in one case and three in the other! I can also do the funny German accent but when I try to do the John Cleese walk that goes with it I always fall over!)

Zoe, - personal details deleted. Email me if you missed them -

I don't know Dunfermline very well, but the Perth to Edinburgh bus passes through it.

Ed. Uni or Heriot Watt?

Ed. Uni. My Dad used to teach at Napier. No connection to Heriot.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Er, just for the record: My parents were victims of the McCarthy Era. Actually lost everything and had to start over because of it. And a great many of my family's closest friends suffered in similar ways. And I never for a moment found the title even slightly offensive. But, you know, that's just me.

Ooh, I have people in Dunfermline. Neat. I was six or seven the only time I was there, though.

ALL my non-sibling relatives are UnAmerican. Hell, actually, when push comes to shove, the only USian-by-birth in my generation are my brother and myself.

I *love* the UnAmerican title. It's part of Buffista culture. Lots of things that are part of Buffista culture take a little getting used to, seeing as the language is almost its own dialect at this point.

I would hate to see it lost because it might cause some "eeps" to the unfamiliar-with-our-ways. It's a term in context which I love as much as I love NonUSian.

I'm proud to be an Un-American.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

You're a vampire. Oh, I'm sorry. Is that an offensive term? Should I say 'Undead American'?
