YEeahaw, Say baby fancy coming for a ride in my gaz guzzling penis mobile 
we'll stop off and get some piss water beer that has to be that cold 
otherwise, god forbid, you might actually taste it and a meal that makes 
tofu look appetizing, we'll sit and watch the sunset over the stripmall 
and wonder which is going to kill us first, the morbid obeisity or 
rampant guncrime.
 So how was that could I pass for American?
Ted
