What Country are you from? - Page 3

What about me, grandma? I am homeless according to your poll. (hailing from Luxembourg, GD of Luxembourg, independant country in the heart of Europe) As always Luxembourg gets ignored because we are sooo small (400.000 inhabitants)

Or have you truly seceded?

And I like Desertgrandma... if you're revolting, I won't join in a war against her.

Oh, I'm revolting, just not in the sense you intended (or did you?

).

I haven't seceded - I hold joint citizenship (actually, I've 183 passports, but let's not get technical).

Marc, send the donkey back, and put away your dinghy.

Oh, but I really wanted you to meet the donkey. you'd love her. She's adorable, very affectionate, inquisitively intelligent, exudes wisdom, piss and vinegar, has really big, furry ears, floppy flubbity lips, a small, straggly beard, buggy eyes, smells like grassy fart and sugar-cubes, likes a platonic nuzzle, laughs like a...well, a donkey, but gets a little stroppy when she feels people around her are getting a little bit too silly. I call her "desertgrandma Jr.".

Cheers,
Marc (RUN AWAY!)

You're not the only one that's ignored, I seem to miss Belgium as well... At least the Netherlands is there

busy bookworm, select "India" Thats where you are from, after all. The rest is just so much fluff. Boy, you really get around, don't you?

Marc, send the donkey back, and put away your dinghy.

Does Marc get 2 hits at the poll ?

No, honest, desertgrandma, it was just an enthusiastic, Antipodean head massage, and Dylrob flinched when I swung the cricket bat, so it's not my fault.

From desertgrandma, probably just two hits.

Cheers,
Marc

Well, in that case you two are either with me or with the enemy (=France)

Don´t hit me, Zelda

DG, you forgot Bavaria, which geographically belongs to Germany, but - for us Bavarians - remains a small, self-sufficient (due to all our breweries) and very, very independent little kingdom ruled by former football star Franz Beckenbauer:

Oh, if you have to go that way, you must put Friesland on it as well... We are always adviced to bring our passport when we enter that province...

Or, you could go the other way (like with Australia and New Zealand) and put the Benelux in there...

Why is it Zealand anyway? It should be Zeeland or Sealand... I always type it wrongly!

Greg Anos · 01-26-2009, 07:12 AM

No Texas?

YGG- · 01-26-2009, 07:13 AM

Very good initiative!

Looking forward to see the results.

(I won't mention Corsicans, it could get pretty dangerous

)

zelda_pinwheel · 01-26-2009, 07:43 AM

i've added belgium and luxembourg, so i expect the luxembourgeois and any belgians in the house to take advantage of that.

i agree, the US is far too large to be one country, it should be split up regionally. texas is obviously an independent territory already.

Am I the only one who remembers what happened the last time someone tried to combine Marc & Australia? I just want to make sure you know that the resulting explosion of that attempt is why Tasmania is no longer a peninsula.

Do you really want to try again?
