You can say "fuck" on television here without getting bleeped, yes, on prime time. Fuck I forgot about that. So maybe Three American Assholes might work. - Oni

*Call yourselves the "Fanny Packers".
To you that probably suggests people who wear silly bumbags. Over here it means something very very different. *NOT a serious suggestion. Personally I like "America's Least Wanted" - I just think that musta been done before. Other pointless suggestions from me: Underpaid Over Sexed and Over HereScars and Snipes Doobie Down Productions Bruthas In Bars Star Spangled Banter Comedic Anarchy In The UK North Atlantic Drift Special Relations But I am still hungover. And still talking drivel.

I guess student gigs (if you do any of those) might be a bit less varied in terms of audience depending which unis you play at. Universities no doubt are a plus, but I think most;y we'll be hitting comedy clubs, or bars that have stand up.
We still have fucking 'Friends' playing virtually non-stop on our TV channels along with all the other sitcoms past and present, American movies are as well known here as there, we have LA based gossip followers as part of the morning news etc. In fact you could make jokes about the dominance and pervasity of such things and everyone would get it. That's awesome. I think as long as this is the norm it'll be no problem translating our material.
If you want a T-shirt idea I would suggest the "Stars and Stripes" tour but with the appropriate bits graffiti style crossed out and added to make it read the "Bars and Strippers" tour. A Banksy style logo.
That's cool, but are you telling me Star Spangled Wankers wouldn't sell? Cuz I really do like the sound of it. Would it make us look stupid?
Anyway - Ignore me. I am well hungover and just ranting random drivel now. Good sir, this is when you're at your finest. - Oni

Self deprecation goes down well here and is usually considered something Yanks are not very good at. So yeah I think it would work.
Oni writes: Good sir, this is when you're at your finest The sad fact is that this is probably true. Just as well I spend so much time either inebriated or hungover I guess.

That's because we're not gay, you see. Way I heard it is that you guys aren't fussy. I heard that there are only two criteria applied by Dutch guys. Female and breathing. And that of those two only one of the criteria need be met for it to be an acceptable shag.

Yes, you Brits imagine a lot of things when you're drunk. Here's a hint, a Dutchmen does not want to fulfil your "cricket" fantasies.

There is actually a cricket based euphemism. "Batting for the other side"................
If I was less hungover I am sure there is a pun in there somewhere.

Sorry to stick my fat oar in, but although I think it's a good title, would there not be some restrictions on where the word "Wankers" could be publicised? Maybe I'm behind the times, but I can't picture it being allowed on any publically displayed posters or billboards displayed outside clubs and pubs, for example. Just as an aside, I took my mum to the football last season and the referee was being given a really hard time by the home fans. Suddenly and inexplicably the noise of the crowd dropped to almost complete silence, and she turned to me and said very loudly in her quite posh voice: "What's a wanker?" Oh for the earth to open up and swallow me whole!

I've thought about it long and hard, but no, I can't come up with anything, other than some "obvious" things (murder, driving to fast, that kind of stuff). Is there anything they stop you guys from doing? Oh just thought of something else, prostitution is legal here too.
