do you fit your national stereotype?

I don't mind the French and have a grudging admiration of them even though they do fuck us over the EU most of the time. I've never ever had a problem in France even the Parisiens were great.

I don't like the Jocks though. The whining bastards get me down even though I really enjoy a single malt or two.

Just kidding. I only have 9 guns.

Actually those look more like cannons.

Your in Pt. Roberts?

[Squibbs]

I like hockey.

I wear toques.

I'm nice.

I club baby seals.

Yes. I fit the stereotype.

[warrior queen]

I looked up 'stereotypical Australian woman' and got 7 different descriptions.
I fit some parts of each description, and don't fit other parts.
So - a little, is my answer

[goddessoflove]

I have plaid shirts

I like Ice Hockey

I Don't say Eh

I like Poutine

I like Coffee just not Starbucks

I like Tea Indian

I like Pabst Blue Ribbon

I like CFL football

I used to like NFL but it got too bloated

[pete1968]

i'm about 2 feet taller than most mexicans, and speak about 95% less spanish, so no i don't fit the stereotype.

but i do love me some tequila

No. I am about to add more guns to my collection though. Damn us Americans and our love of booms.

[Squibbs]

Detroit.

[girlsmiley]

Stubbie shorts, thongs, gold chain and beer in hand?

Well, yeah.

[Aquagal]

My hair is naturally big when not under control.

My butt is round, but that comes from my heritage of another country.

I drive one car, and can get gas to last two weeks.

I hate to shop.

I prefer a more sustainable living by eating off the land and what I can grow.

My indulgence: good chocolate and being somewhere above 70 degrees at least once a year.

[Adre]

I like the Brits and the frogs. Good beer from the former, Champagne from the latter. I will note that the Brits rarely turn down a glass of champers even as they curse the frog who made it. And you can't swing a dead cat on the Left Bank without hitting someone from old Blighty looking for his first good meal in a month of Sundays.

As for Yank stereotypes, I have no gun, no truck, no beer belly, and don't wear sneaks. But I'm a Yank

[parodyluvr75]

I don't own a gun, I prefer edged weapons.
I hate reality tv.
I hate bacon.
I don't weigh a ton.
I do like coffee.

So no.

[trysail]

I own (and occasionally wear) a béret.

Selecting a wine by its variety is a form of barbarism.

i select the prettiest bottle.

yes. really.

[JohnnySavage]

I'm not fat, although I could drop a stone I suppose.

I like NASCAR, but I like all sports.

I don't drink or own any guns; although in my youth I drank like a fish and grew up with guns.

I like TV.

What are other yank stereotypes? ...

I travel extensively, but am rather quiet and seldom have a camera; so the obnoxious American tourist doesn't fit.

While my passport may say, "United States of America" I'm Appalachian. The occupying oppressors won't let us issue our own documents.


ETA: I don't care a whole lot about God or any of that god-fearing stuff.

[pink]

Yes, I need to lose more weight.

I love sports.

I don't drive an SUV.

I don't own a gun.

What am I forgetting?

I forgot: I do drive an SUV that averages 12 mpg. But gas is dirt cheap so I don't care.

[Wings]

I'm chubby

I drive a huge SUV with a very large engine

I don't ever use a credit card

I don't shop incessantly

I volunteer a lot of my time

I work a lot

I've only been married once and probably will never be again

I've never used any government assistance

So...maybe?

[bluemuse]

A Norwegian friend of mine told me that most Norwegians think that Americans resemble Jaba the Hut. I don't.

[Bad_Doggie]

I don’t own a bowler hat, a pinstriped suit or a black umbrella.
I don’t read the times
I don’t like cricket
I don’t eat fish
I prefer coffee to tea
I like the French and French wine in particular

But….

I am reserved
Self-depreciating
Like beer
Like chips
Like football and rugby.

You decide.

Woof!

[TheOlderGuy]

I'm a French/Dutch/English/Irish/German/Italian straight blood line thoroughbred. I'm always amazed that in this age anybody can be any one heritage or national stereotype.

But, to answer your question, yes, I fit the stereotype perfectly: Irresistably sexy old fart.

And too stupid to understand the question, apparently.
