Interesting Amerocentrism on the list

[Joe Sokohl <joe -dot- sokohl -at- iconmedialab -dot- de>]

Hi all,
Recently I've seen some interesting Amerocentric phrases, such as:
>>
the market is slower than the last two
minutes of a close American football game.

reply in your 
best 1960's-based-comedy German accent: 

"Vat do hue mean?!?
Ist za mosht varm unt fousy fonct I koult fient!!!"
<<

Interesting, in that perhaps there are people who subscribe to the list who
are not Americans and/or who simply just don't get it. I wonder what the
reaction would be in the following:

>>
the market is slower than a training game between FC St. Pauli and SV Bocum

reply in your 
best 1960's-based-comedy American accent:

"Whut the hell yuh mean?!?
Is tha-hut thuh mostlyest wahrm-lahk an' fuzziest ah kin fin'!!!"
<<

Just a point--remember, we're all not Americans on the list...
