Nothing's purely anything, but you guys've got the The World's Biggest [everything] over there. (beat.) Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 07:14:55 AM
Not only is everythingeverything bigger, from cereal boxes to portions to cars, but also. . . well have you ever heard of that book Midwest Marlvels?, 'cause if not, you should have a look. World's Biggest Ball of Twine isn't the oddest thing in there. I think the World's Biggest Porcelain Toilet might be, though.

When I think of American Culture... Jeordam - 04/10/2010 08:29:09 PM 681 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 620 Views
I think of how the Rockies and Appalachians were created by MGB and Chuck Norris wrestling. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 05/10/2010 12:57:31 AM 253 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 759 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 702 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 549 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 602 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 258 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 277 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 598 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 556 Views
every other animal leaves it on the ground. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:00 AM 580 Views
Yeah, but even the "bigger is better" thing isn't purely American; we just took to an extreme. Joel - 06/10/2010 05:06:27 AM 676 Views
really, the part that most people go to at the Canyon isn't really a "nature park" LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 05:33:48 AM 620 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 588 Views

And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 584 Views
with your medical training you really want to advocate leaving it on the ground? *NM* random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:30:57 PM 241 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 623 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 667 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 634 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 586 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 656 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 765 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 772 Views
I've actually never heard it discussed except for two/three times on the wotmania/rafo boards. TaskmasterJack - 06/10/2010 10:16:50 PM 496 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 607 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 576 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 697 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 656 Views
btw, I obviously think this is a good post. Fun. nossy - 05/10/2010 03:21:21 PM 565 Views

Is the first part of that statement even true? Palatine - 05/10/2010 04:45:36 PM 540 Views
Hm. Interesting. Mats Gambling Buddy - 05/10/2010 05:43:19 PM 517 Views
