Regional retoric:

New York, a city so nice, they named it twice.

New York, New York, a hellofa town,
The Bronx is up,
But the Battery's down,
The people ride in a hole in the ground.

Avenue A......your're ok
Avenue B......you're bad
Avenue C.....you're crazy
Avenue D......you're dead

A City that never sleeps

[IZA]

Philippines- installment (ransom) is also accepted, no credit cards please.:D

[Shitoryu Dude]

You know, its the little things like kidnapping and beheadings that really make me wonder if I want to go to Quezon City this December.....

:beer:

[IZA]

Kidnapping and beheading is very far away from Quezon city :D
its about 900 km down south of our nice little country.

[Kimpatsu]

Britain: The food is our secret weapon.
America: Egos as big as the women's behinds
New Zealand: No, we are NOT part of Australia (yet)!
Japan: Die American imperialist scum at hands of godly country personified in the august personage of the Emperor! Banzai!
Germany: It's not just beer and sausages

[Shitoryu Dude]

Aside from the beer and sausages, what other attraction is there? :confused: I mean, that's why I'm going there to visit!

:beer:

[larsen_huw]

possible suggestions:

Porn?

Leather dungarees?

Humour?

Wine?

Stunning middle-aged castles?

The Germans?

[Shitoryu Dude]

Can I check out all that while drinking beer and eating sausages? :D Amazing how we can simplify a country into one or two stereotypes, though typically Polka music and lederhosen are also included in the beer and sausages.

Germany is on my list of places I want to spend some time checking out. I hear the former Soviet Block is quite nice to visit as well. Are they still running those ads for Croatia touting it as the Mediterranian as it "used to be"? Might be an interesting extension of a trip to Greece.

:beer:

[Random]

Arkansas : anywhere else and it would have been the teeth brush
Mississippi: What you get when you mix gambling and the worst education in the country
Alabama: All the Education of Mississippi on ½ of the budget
Florida: We learn to spell lotto in first grade.

[Ian McDonald]

Some years ago, I think it was in the go-go 80's of Reagan, the state of Florida adopted the following as its official slogan:
Florida-The Rules Are Different Here! :p They subsequently dropped it (probably after the great Savings and Loan crisis/scandal with billions of losses to retirees' savings accounts here). I think our old slogan still applies, how about y'all? Just remember the last presidential election. And look out for the next one!

[dori_kin_86]

Ive heared this one before, but it was on Late Night with Conan O'Brian: China- If you are going to get arrested, it might of well be for no good reason.


My own: Japan- Come see our traditional temples, castles, and sex.

"Mississippi: What you get when you mix gambling and the worst education in the country"


The Mississippi thing is true in my opinion. :D No offence to StarkJudo :) I would know, I live here, I still like it. (I'm still moving to Japan)

[Starkjudo]

None taken. The main problem in Mississippi is not the gambling, it's the politicians with their heads up their asses when it comes to education.

Andrew: Are you with that new Karate club on campus?

[dori_kin_86]

No, i'm not part of the Kempo Karate School in Columbus. What style of karate is taught at the new club? If its Ryukyu Kempo, I wouldn't have to drive to Columbus to train in my chosen style. The only MA clubs I know of on campus are the Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, Gung-fu, and Aikido clubs.

[Starkjudo]

Mistake on my part. I was thinking of the Shotokan folks by accident.

[Krusse]

Germany - cause speed limits are for the debil :D

Southern Germany - we know everything but proper german :rolleyes:

Can't make those kind of jokes as german. We are too politically correct. :D

Austria - Yes , Beethoven was austrian and Hitler german!

Or as my french economics professor used to say:
France - we do have the world's 3rd most important stock exchange!

France - you want to invade? Sure ... come right in and make yourselves at home.

Italy: Our soldiers are the most well trained in the world ... they can say "I surrender" in 87 different languages!

Good one Paul!

It reminds me of a friend of mine from Northern Ireland, who was born in England from Irish parents, and famous for the following phrase " I may be plastic but at least I'm a Paddy!"

Tony,

As a Yank I must admit that I am lost at your reference. I am familiar with other terms for bog or the bog. The use of field has me at a loss. I have not been in the UK for a while so I could have missed some recent developments...

Care to enlighten me?
