Germany is superior to the US, or how I spent the 3rd of July with an asshole

Back story: In 1998 I met the triplets - no they are not really brothers, but are closer than that really. For those of you who do not know, G and I met at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and as I ended up in the men's tent to sleep (shocking) G likes to tell people we slept together the night we met. Yeah, he's that funny....So G is the oldest with Gubby and Ken a couple years younger. Can I tell you how fun being pregnant was having the triplets around - ok, not at all, but that is another story! Ken is not married, but there have been lots of candidates - this is also another story altogether. Gubby, who is European, married a French Canadian about a year, maybe two. She was married to a friend of theirs - longer story, blah, blah, blah. (Hang on, we are almost past the back story, but I have 10 years to cover in a short way) So Gubby and K are DINKs (Dual Income No Kids), they travel a lot, scuba dive (we had the best time diving with them in Cozumel), have a house like a museum, and love to entertain. In fact, K is a gourmet chef as a hobby. They believe in course meals that take hours to get through, so you have to be ready to settle in for the night!

So we get an invite to their house for a bar b que and the firework show, which is right across the street from where they live. It was not until Thursday afternoon that we found out it would be like 25-30 people, to include other people's children. G and I are overwhelmed from the time we arrived. We did not know any of these people. Gubby explained that they were people from his company, her company, and then of course, his friends. After dinner, there was a game in honor of the 4th. As Gubby and K are now American citizens, they had to take the test and decided that we should take it too - of course there were prizes! So one woman who is apparently married to a Brit, shouts out "You guys became American citizens on purpose?" She was ignored and felt she should continue "No really, why would you do that" and this asshole, who did not know anyone at this party, including the hosts, continued to try to pin them down all night long.
Apparently, she lived in Berlin for a time and marrying a Brit has made her an elitist, for which the United States is not good enough. However, she fucking lives here. Apparently, Germany is far superior to the US. She needs to go back there.
