Right, let’s get this clear from the start. I am NOT NOT NOT hoarding Americans, I’m collecting them for legitimate purposes (see Collecting NOT Hoarding).
***** NOW INCLUDES CANADIANS *****
Rules For The List Of Collected Americans
Not just any old American can be part of my collection, don’t think you can wangle your way in by telling me you’re an American Plastic Surgeon or an American Personal Trainer when really you’re Bobby the burger flipper from Bubbabillybobville. You MUST fit into one of the following categories – American Therapist, American Life Coach, American Hairdresser, American Personal Trainer, American Plastic Surgeon, American Publisher, American Actor Who I Fancy, American Army Dude.
If you wish to add yourself to any of my collections leave me a note at the bottom of the page telling me what your profession is and I’ll let you know if I want one. Other categories may be added to the list as and when I see fit, and I reserve the right to sell off any individual Americans or whole categories of the collection if I so choose.
The list will be regularly updated (by me).

Congratulations on obtaining a fascinating specimen for your collection WITHOUT HAVING TO GO ONTO HIS BLOG AND FOLLOW HIM TO TRAP HIM INTO FOLLOWING YOU BACK. This one came here of his own free will and he fits into LOADS of categories, American Therapists, American Life Coaches, American Psychologists (Real Ones), American Doctors (Real Ones) and because he is a qualified American Doctor he can also fit into American Plastic Surgeons. Great catch!

the howler and me
/ February 14, 2012Dear Dotty,
I would like to volunteer to be a part of your collection. I am American, as is the howler. My profession does not meet any of your requirements….BUT the howler’s does (unless of course you have a thing against 4-legged furry therapists)
We do come as a package deal… a two-fer you might say…
Dotty Headbanger
/ February 14, 2012Dear the howler and me,
Yes! A four-legged furry therapist is an EXCELLENT ADDITION to my collection. The problem is YOU and what role you’d have — let me think. Umm. Ummm. Ummmmmmmmm. I know, you could take the place of your four-legged furry friend while he is doing therapy for me, which would mean barking loudly if any strangers came close and if they came closer it would mean having to BITE them on the BUM. Would you be prepared to do this?
Love Dotty xxx
the howler and me
/ February 15, 2012Barking and growling – not a problem. Biting BUM? Not so sure I could do that…. tastes awful and what if they don’t wash?
I could however; bark, growl and chase them while wielding a hammer.
Dotty Headbanger
/ February 15, 2012Dear the howler and me,
Perfect – as long as your hammer is a BIG LUMP HAMMER and you can run fast. I think your official title will be American Guard Dog Girl and if you’re house-trained I’ll let you sleep on the floor in the Howler’s bedroom so you can protect him during the night (if he wants you to, that is).
Love Dotty xxx

Dotty Headbanger
/ February 22, 2012Dear Judith,
I have absolutely nothing against your cousin or anyone else who lives in Bubbabillybobville and flips burgers. I just don’t want them in my collection, what’s the point of having burger flippers when I don’t eat burgers, I eat Cumberland sausages?

Would you have an opening for a grumpy, tundra-dwelling, Canadian bear? I am willing to bite any bums that Howler and Me don’t want. I’ve paid extra for the privilege before, and would be willing to do so again. Please decide soon, I wish to go watch Midsomer Murders on the telly.
Dotty Headbanger
/ March 4, 2012Dear Archon,
I hadn’t considered including Canadians in my collection before – I thought Canadians hated Americans and vice versa. But I DO need a bum-biter and it’s all the same to me which bit of the continent you come from so if you’re willing to stick to the rules I’ll accept you.
RULE 1 — No national name calling between Canadians and Americans.
RULE 2 — No fisticuffs.
RULE 3 — No rivalries
RULE 4 — No overt displays of ignorance about each other – your pre-conceived opinions might be utter tosh and twaddle and very insulting to the other party. DO NOT BE OFFENSIVE TO EACH OTHER.

/ June 3, 2012Another Canuck here. Swingdancer and DJ. Do you need a DJ? Or to learn how to do the Lindy Hop?
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 3, 2012Dear SSG,
Hello 🙂
Hmmm. I’m not a good dancer, I look like Robocop on the dance floor. I’d like to learn the Cha-Cha though. Would you like to be my Canadian Cha-Cha Teacher?

SummerSolsticeGirl
/ June 3, 2012hmmmm I can follow Cha-Cha but I have never taught that one. I can teach you Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag and Blues… Or I can DJ at your party.
I’m also a medical doctor but since you already have a lot of those I didn’t think you’d be interested in having another one. I could take a blood sample and then show you a pretty picture of your chromosomes if you want. Or bored you to death talking about how your T-Cells protect you from disease
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 3, 2012Dear SSG,
But I haven’t got a Canadian Dancing Doctor! If you’re teaching me the Lindy Hop and I fall over and break both my thigh bones you can fix them for me! Yes! Will that do?

Yes, I can do that!

/ June 6, 2012Cumberland sausage is a form of sausage that originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England, now part of Cumbria. They are traditionally very long (up to 50 cm), and sold rolled in a flat, circular coil but within western Cumbria they are more often served in long curved lengths……. they sound delcious….what do you use a brick for? To knock the pig over the head before you process the sausages…I don’t fit into any of the other American Categorys.. I am an American Dreamer who Forges on into the Abyss ..that s about the closest it comes to category for me
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 7, 2012Dear Philip,
Hello. 🙂
Cumberland sausages ARE delicious, the most delicious food in the world.
What do I use a brick for? Stress relief.
Would you like to be my American Dreamer then, if you can’t do anything else? We could see if you’re able to dream up winning lottery numbers or something.

/ June 6, 2012Do you need native born Americans or would you accept naturalized/naturalised ones? I was born in England, but emigrated to New York 20 years ago. I feel that this makes me useful to you in so far as I can translate between British-English and American-English better than a Babel fish. Plus, I work for a Canadian company, therefore completing the Axis of Dotty.
Official Translator?
What say you?
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 7, 2012Dear catpenfold,
Hello. 🙂
I’ll be more than happy to have an American Official Translator if you’ll also consider being my British Secret Spy In America.

Dotty Headbanger

Oh no! Thank you, but I’m too late to get another ticket! I can’t ever, ever check these numbers because if they ARE the winning numbers I’LL DIE OF DISAPPOINTMENT.

P.S. Maybe next week you’ll dream them in time or pull them out of your lucky bag(?) I get my ticket on a Thursday morning.

I’d be delighted to fulfill the roles of Official Translator and British Secret Spy. I’ll just need an outline of things you’d like spied on. I can infiltrate the UN quite easily (it’s on my way home) and they do have a nice gift shop. I am fairly expert on sausages and I have access to Croatian, Greek and Italian sausages within a block of my house. To compare these to Cumberland sausages, I’d need to take a trip to The Chip Shop in Brooklyn, which I will happily do in the name of Dotty.
Please advise.
Cat

/ June 8, 2012Dear Cat,
Go to the chip shop. Buy a bag of chips (unwrapped), sprinkle them with a good amount of salt and vinegar. DO NOT LET THE CHIP SERVER SEE YOU SPRINKLE THE SALT. Go outside, eat the lovely chips (with your fingers) – when you’ve finished, screw up the paper into a ball, go back into the chip shop, say to the server, WHERE’S MY FUCKING SALT? and throw the balled up chip paper at her/him. Then run away. I’ll contact you soon with my next instructions.

Hmm, I wear a lot of t-shirts but they’re all boring and plain black – YES, having my own personal t-shirt designer will be great. Do you do swearing?

/ April 19, 2013Dear DH,
How about an American Indian Irish Texan? My qualifications include the ability to rowdily sing, not whilst intoxicated, “We fired our guns and the British kept a’comin.
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.” Additional lyrical ability includes, “Wild Irish Rose” and “Deep In The Heart of Texas” with hand claps inserted appropriately. I am also part Cherokee Indian so I can dance whilst beating a drum. Overall, my life is pretty mundane, but my brain has forgotten more than most people will ever know. Does that count for something, anything???

/ January 29, 2014Might as well include Mexico…………..
