Space Shuttle Launch 4th July 2006 !!

What a spectacularly crystal-clear day on the east coast of Florida! Today is an example of the reason they call it "The Sunshine State". Worth the 4 hour drive up from Miami, it's days like this one that show just how vastly superior Florida is to the rest of the States!

why do yanks feel the need to 'woo!' and 'woop!' when they get excited?

that is an actual question, feel free to answer!

I wasn't aware it was limited to "yanks". I was over on that pathetic little dreary wet turd excuse for a country (Great Britain) last summer and I ran across quite an obnoxious hooligan display. Why do Brits feel the need to 'woo!' and 'woop!' when they get excited?

That is an actual question, feel free to answer!

Football hooligans are indeed scummy - but they tend to emit a rather more drunken, lower pitch "waaaah" sort of noise.

I was just wondering why non-drunk Americans make the 'woop' noise, that's all, rather than just clapping or cheering. No offence intended.

Who said they were non-drunk? There were thousands of vehicles parked and many of them had coolers next to them. Could there have been beer in them? Let's hope!

i think you guys both tie each other for the amount of trailer parks though

Yeah, well that's what happens when everyone & their ma wants to live in the same place... population goes up, including population of lower income people.

Exactly! Texas has WAY too many hurricanes. Thanks for reminding me. Just another reason why Texas sucks :)
