Americans are no longer capable of putting out this high quality of crap anymore. August? You should see it now! Anyhow, I fail to see the "poor taste" angle. Just because you're a turnip man.<br /><br />You can say America if you want to. Don't be intimidated. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.com
