but don't you see? our muffins are clearly superior as they do not require the specification that they are american muffins. their superiority is inherent and therefore they have taken over all muffin connotation worldwide. yours are labeled english muffins as they are most certainly a runner up, and must be heated, buttered, and otherwise modified prior to consumption.Illuminattile said:Food for thought; there are no threads in Our Block about American muffins.

Right after we stop teaching kids how to spell properly, I'm sure we'll throw out all our globes and atlases so we can't find Iraq on a map either.Like Dante said, soon y'all won't be putting the u's in either.
polls and man on the street segments on the tonight show selectively choose the most entertaining participants who know nothing. grab 10 real americans and 9 will know where iraq is.Illuminattile said:Right after we stop teaching kids how to spell properly, I'm sure we'll throw out all our globes and atlases so we can't find Iraq on a map either.
