But anyway, Guns, beer, women. In no particular order.

Hehe! I was just yanking Lazs's chain.

As for American guns/beer/women, I've tried them all. Beer definitely comes bottom of the list, except your microbrews - some of which are very good indeed.

As for Coors/Bud/Schlitz/Pabst etc., it's all piss. However, I used to drink Old Style in the old Chicago days - OK, but real hangover juice if you had too many. I remember sitting between 3rd and home at Wrigley Field, and getting my Old Style and hot-dog passed all along the line to me. Gawd, I did enjoy those days out at the baseball park.

Lazs! Culture overrated? It exists, and therefore must be experienced.

Before you get on that plane, make sure you have a passport.

I have a passprt but... I can drive thousands of miles here without ever using it and... culture wears on one. Any culture...

except maybe that one where brown skinned naked young girls who don't speak english and giggle a lot bring you food and drink on the beach and fan you with palm leaves because your white skin makes you a god to them.... that one is ok.

I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner in three different countries on the same day. That was fun to do - once.
