British World Cup fans can't get enough of American hot dogs during the tournament, buy a Bond bike & MEAT!
The sun is out, the U.S. Open is underway, the World Cup continues to be the perfect sporting event at the perfect time on U.S. soil and here we go with another edition of Thursday Screencaps in the middle of June.
A day after the England fans tried to wrap their brains around the idea of "free" refills, we get the day rolling with the Brits appreciating our hot dogs. Skylar Skye, one of the many English fans experiencing the United States for the first time, is in Texas where she tried a real American hot dog for the first time and let's just say it was a life-changing moment.
"Anyone know if these are good for you because I want one everyday now," she wrote on Twitter.
Who are we to tell Skylar to watch her sodium intake?
Over the years, I've seen plates of traditional British food sent in by Screencaps readers. It's no wonder Skylar is blown away by the food available in Texas. Imagine going your whole life eating those British baked beans for breakfast. I still can't believe some of you go over to England and claim an English breakfast is great. I know you're just trying to not be classified as an ugly American traveler.
Let's get back to the World Cup visitors. While the English fans are going nuts in Texas, let's check in with the Scots in Boston who are drinking the city dry. Literally. These guys show up to bars looking to have a couple and four hours later, they've each had 20 beers and these bars are scrambling for stock to keep these guys happy.
Scotland plays Morocco Friday at 6 p.m. This one has all the makings to be wild. Buckle up.
And, finally, let's stop and think about that major date on the calendar that us Americans have circled. America's birthday. 250. The day we told the British to kiss our ass. Despite what you might've read by the #fakenews bots on Facebook, the U.S. cannot face England on the Fourth of July. The teams are on different sides of the World Cup knockout brackets.
If you have Brits staying in an Airbnb next to you, make sure you welcome them in as you celebrate freedom. Show them why this is the greatest country Earth has ever known.

– Here we go with the deranged LIBS finding Screencaps. Greg W. is the male version of Sarah who emailed a few weeks back. Greg writes: What is it with the media hacks and "amazed foreigners" stories? I am seeing the same few boring tweets from the same few boring Japanese tourists in articles across the media garbagescape. Is State Media that desperate to convince Americans that the rest of the world doesn’t hate them? Sad. And yes, pathetic. But no, it’s not America bashing to point out the Jan Brady vibes, It’s Trump bashing. And 100% deserved.
Kinsey: I replied, "You want the Europeans to trash the U.S. so bad, Greg. It's sad."
Greg fired back with a bunch of Fox News-hating nonsense.
Kinsey: I replied, "Stay mad, Greg. Have a great summer."
Greg: You bet - so many of us are so very mad! You know why. Not because we "hate America". My dad, George W., USMA 1958, 2 tours in Vietnam under crooked Nixon certainly did not. I do not, after celebrating the (real) 250th birthday of the US Army in his memory, here in the Nebraska media. Something you DO NOT understand, something your kind never will.
Kinsey: The facts are that Greg, and people like Greg, wanted the foreigners, especially the Muslim World Cup fans to come here and say how badly they've been treated and how horrible the U.S. is, blah, blah, blah as part of their culture war crusade against the United States. Now, Greg is screwed because, one week in, everyone is having a great time. Imagine spending your life with Greg's brain. It's sad.
– Jim in East Peoria, IL reacts to Cuck Ken claiming OutKick didn't save Cracker Barrel: Just a quick note today on Moron Ken. Yes you DID break this story, repeatedly hammered them, brought ScreenCaps and Outkick nation down on them, and they realized their mistake.
This stupid f--k has got to be closely related to Sara. Sorry, tried to keep it clean but couldn't help myself. Keep on doing what you're doing - great job!!
– Bill in Mesa, AZ writes: I love how the World Cup fans are falling in love with America. They are experiencing things we take for granted. This is the greatest country on earth.For all those who say negative things about the USA, they need to visit another country. I have been to Peru, Germany and India. I enjoyed the different cultures but I couldn’t wait to get back to the U S of A. We have so many freedoms and conveniences that we take for granted. Freedom of speech, press and questioning your government. These are not common. Wide streets, central air conditioning, all night dining. Just some of the things we take for granted. I have traveled but I would never live in another country. America is the greatest.
– Edward H. says: In spite of all the negative nonsense that the left news spews constantly i always smile when I come across your column.
– Kevin G. has an idea: America might be a perfect spot for Europeans to relocate to after their countries have been destroyed by immigration.Let’s encourage mass migration of white Europeans to America, damn that’s a good idea. My idea is, let’s send disenfranchised Americans over to Europe because they support immigration and they should get to live in the sewer of their own making.
– Brian makes an observation about tomorrow's federal holiday: Don't forget Juneteenth. Dems must have know usmnt would be playing Friday the 19th back in 2021. Now all federal workers can enjoy the beautiful game.
What has this world become? My kids ride their bikes across that bridge. There are Screencaps readers who walk across that bridge. This pooper MUST BE STOPPED.
– Drew in Katy, TX shares perspective: I grew up in a very strict Christian home. We moved around, so I attended three very strict high schools. I raised my boys right, but not as strict as I grew up. Their high schools were strict too. But the action by these school administrators over few cigars after graduation in Massachusetts is way over the top stupid even to someone like me. This was not weed. This was not cocaine.
This is what drives kids to say, "What the heck. If we are going to get punished severely for nothing, let’s go ahead and break all of the rules." I’ve seen kids break away from overly strict homes and go crazy in college. That’s not the goal. There are these concepts called mercy, forgiveness, and teachable moments . . . without the drama and ridiculous penalties that will stick in these kids’ memories for life . . . and not in a good way.
Max Velocity had a BIG night covering storms last night. Thankfully, the tornadoes stayed off to our west this time. It did pour, but that was no big deal compared to what some of you went through.
– J Shep says PE won't destroy the Hut: I don't think you have to worry that much about stores closures. PH is heavily franchised — I think there are fewer than 100 corporate stores. The new owner will want even more franchisee locations — that way they can rake in the royalties, marketing fund $, etc. Of course, PH's network is so built out that expansion likely will be to the detriment of existing franchisee locations.
Where there will be cuts are in overhead, corporate labor, etc. Given the franchise model, I'm guessing 95 cents of every $1 saved goes directly to the bottom line.

And that is it this morning. The emails are really rolling in right now. Let's keep the train rolling. I need you guys responding to that idiot Greg. Have you interacted with the World Cup fans? Have you gone to a match? Speak up.
Let's get rolling.
