So, I'm now an American! Had my naturalization ceremony in Brooklyn this morning. It took a long time. But yay! Now I can vote!

OK, I guess it's now safe to let you in on a few of our secrets:
1. There's no such state as Rhode Island.
2. The man you know as Jimmy Carter is an actor. The real Jimmy Carter disappeared mysteriously his second day in office and a look-alike was hired to take his place and serve out the rest of his term. (One of his top advisors went on to write the screenplay for Moon Over Parador.)
3. The nuclear launch code is as follows: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start

What's your new American Name that you got to choose upon acceptance?

Might I suggest: Big Gulp Freedom Constitution?

Awesome! You still can't be President, though. : (

An American name! Great idea.
Willie Mae Obamas Gaspode.
(not many people know that when you become American your patronym hails from the acting president)

*snort* perfect.

posted by gaspode 19 January | 13:27

Wait, isn't that also known as type 2 diabetes? Damn these new APA diagnoses. I know the Deep Fried Freedom Constitution is colon cancer.
