New Yorkers took a break from arguing over what to build on Ground Zero when it was announced that the city's terror alert level had been elevated from "WTF?" to "Seriously Cranky". Emergency Starbucks have been added as a protective measure against a collapse of the city's infrastructure due to New Yorkers not getting their cups of cawfee.

Can I add a serious note to this fun thread? After reading all the intense jibes on the Rome and USA thread, isn't it good that we can add a corrective like this, whereby we can all laugh at ourselves? It used to be what Brits and Americans were famous for. Let us revive it!

Amen :drunk:

 

On a side note: when do the Italian-American populations start saying "eh, ma va, fuggedabawdit" and continue with the :D? Is that before or after the raid?
