You need to come to the south and taste fried catfish, while your at it, you could try gumbo, and mud dogs.

Ok. You made me Google mud dog.

Just shows how fucked up the US is compared to the rest of the world. lol.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Apple pie for breakfast is awesome.

I love apple pie any time of the day.

As long as the apple isn't a complete mush and seasoned with cinamon or clove and not just mega-sweet.

Are you saying it must; or must not be, seasoned with cinnamon and clove?

Damn clumsy elocution for a Mad Dog or an Englishman. And euphonically damaging as well.

It's perfectly good English.

Let me express it mathematically for you seeing as you can't to work out the and/or reasoning....
~([complete mush]) .AND. [seasoned with](cinamon .OR. clove) .AND. ~([mega-sweet])

Is that any clearer for you??

so failing one of those clauses (mathematically) it means it is good to go, it could be cloyingly sweet and a complete mush, so long as it is not seasoned as described, and you are gonna lick it up like nobodies business.

So, let's turn this around and see what proper felching of the Lingua Anglica is wreaked upon us by the fucking bimbos on THE HILLS and JERSEY SHORE, what hey?

yeah, those guys and gals (like, TOTES american, like, y'know, what-eves, like OMG) exhibit a simply FANTABULOUS respect of the oral-arts as exemplified by Samuel Clemens.

Uh huh.

RIGHT.
