COOP! COOP! COOP! COOP! COOP! COOP!

Hey sock, I smell a COOP coming? Do you? Haven't had one of those for almost a month now. I think it's time for some more drama. Blacke (talk) 22:57, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

The only thing that scene is missing is a pressure fryer. Sock of Blacke (talk) 23:01, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

The oil is being heated, but will we get our KFC? Sock of Blacke (talk) 23:07, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Did you know the Southern style of chicken comes from the Scottish and Scot-Irish (ulster) settlers, including the overmountain men (made famous by the battle of King's Mountain)? It's quite interesting how such an iconic part of American culture is of British origin, and how such a key role in the fight against British oppression was played by their own citizens from Scotland (not to mention John Paul Jones, father of the U.S. navy in the revolution was from Scotland). Speaking of British citizens fighting against Britain, a large part of the American privateer navy during the war was made up of British Bermudans (who would later profit against America in the War of 1812). Eerrr... I think I got kinda lost there. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 23:11, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

No, I didn't know it came from Scotland. I've always wanted to try Haggis - my late grandmother grew up in Scotland (although not ethnically Scottish, descended from Irish Catholic immigrants to Scotland), but she said she didn't like the taste of it and didn't know where to buy it. So no Haggis for me. But one day, I will attend a Burns Night. Blacke (talk) 23:32, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

@ Fedora Ever read American Nations by Colin Woodward? (as long as we're jumping on tangents) SolPyre (talk) 23:36, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

No, why? <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 00:55, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

..Shrug.. Its a interesting book about where the cultures of the US came from and how they formed, it was tangentially related. And I fucking love maps... that too. SolPyre (talk) 18:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
