Chicago Pizza is indeed up there. That stuff is a true meal.
But I was going to have to go with radio, television, transistors, IC's, Microprocessors. . . EE is a study of American history. AC power! Gotta love AC power.
Ugh. I consider myself a bit of a biker, and I'm not keen on Harley's. What I don't like about them must be everybody's beefs with the brand (bloated, chromed, more style than virtue,...), though I'll grant you that they are the best in the 'custom' realm of motorcycles.
I dare you to steer clear of condescension on the day you get to be as good as myself.

I would think that, if you'd have spend a bit of attention, you'd have found that the discussing persona is the littlest of my incarnations on these boards. I indulge in educated discussion (not "hate speech or black-and-white terms") only every so often, and I do it no worse, no better than most of us here. I'm sorry, however, if your political outview doesn't collide with mine, and if I'm brave enough to say it.

James Bond. Yes, he's British, but he's an American invention. He is so terminally cool, in spite of his treatment of women as objects. Well, maybe that only makes him cooler...
The right to scream at each other till the veins in your neck stick out then go out together to a baseball game and scream at the umpires.
Yes, baseball. That's a magic word for some of us.
The Ghostbusters. They came, they saw, they kicked its ass.
The Primary Envoys of American Culture, television shows:
Gilligan's Island. The Flintstones. The Andy Griffith Show. All In The Family. Roots. MASH. Cheers. Friends.
No better advertising for a country than these television shows. They were silly, funny, serious and scandalous. Wildly entertaining, rambunctiously silly, they showed that we're an introspective nation; far more so than some outsiders would ever grudgingly give us credit (no names here). We're forever reinventing ourselves, discovering our many peoples and forever arguing about what's best for our nation. It's a remarkable nation, where anyone can be anything they want to be if they have the talent and the chutzpah.
Is it? I've seen both .se and .de web sites, wasn't sure which was the "official" home. I guess since so many other products in that niche are German, I figured they were too. Maybe the Malmstrom Synth (coolest ever) should've tippes me off.

It looks like people are still having fun--and it needed to be said.

On Jazz: absolutely. God's great gift. And plenty of good movies, though I don't think the US has a monopoly on good movies.

He is not an American invention, he comes from the pen of Brit. author Ian Flemming.
