Which parts of your country would you lose?

[Duskrider]

What do urine samples and Canadian beer have in common? The taste.

 

At least that's better than American beer. Comparing American beer to urine samples would be an insult to perfectly good urine samples.

 

 

As for which part of my country to lose... I propose a simple test, to be done county by county: If the percentage of registered voters who voted for Bush in the 2004 election is over 30%, get rid of it. If that's too complicated, I would ask if it's too late to re-write history. I think the biggest mistake the US ever made was fighting the Civil War... maybe we can take back that whole misunderstanding and let the south leave after all? And while we're at it, can we give Texas back to Mexico?

Just curious: how, phonetically, do you pronounce Skane with an 'o' over the 'a'? Isn't that where the Nobel Awards are based? If so , you might be committing a World Crime by getting rid of Stockholm.

 

Well... the English "O" and the Swedish "Å" is *virtually* pronounced the same.

 

And why get rid of Stockholm?

 

Because those from Stockholm complain about virtually everything. Plus, instead of having porridge in their mouth when they talk, like those from Skåne, they sound like they have baseballbat up their ar$e, or atleast something equally uncomfortable. :biggrin:

 

Isn't that where the Nobel Awards are based? If so , you might be committing a World Crime by getting rid of Stockholm.

 

Well, I don't wanna break any laws, so I guess it is has to stay. :verymad:

 

But then again, that is the Norwegian Storting's error and not Sweden.

 

Swedish and Norwegian is also virtually the same. Might be hard to understand in the beginning, but once certain words starts to clear up, then it's pretty easy to understand.

Stormraven- what can one say? Your fixation on 'silicone' tends to make one think that you, too, have a thing for galugs. - Chesto

 

In the first place, I have no idea to what you are referring.

 

I was thinking about a book I read a few years back (could have be a decade), entitled ‘Barbarians at the Gate’. An account of the bond scandal created by Mr. Milken. (Woops) A few years later after another book was written after the dot com crash. It was entitled something like ‘Barbarians at the Gate of Silicon Valley’

 

Now I understand that at times the English and American spellings of certain words differ. However, there is a vast divergence (Intentional) between Silicon and Silicone.

 

One is an abundant brittle nonmetallic element. Use: alloys, semiconductors, building materials.

 

The other is a heat-resistant silicon-based synthetic substance in the form of a grease, oil, or plastic. Use: lubricants, insulators, water-repellents, resins, adhesives, coatings, paints, prosthetics.

 

And certainly, ‘I’ would know the difference. If in my haste to write the post I made a simple spelling error, ‘You’ will just have to make an exception. As I recall the story, you were on an Isolation Ward suffering from delirium as result of some sort of Flying Flu.

 

My understanding was your medical condition was failing rapidly. This explained the utter nonsense of your original post, from some lousy laptop on you medical bed. I was kind enough at the time NOT to mention the DRUGS they were pushing into you from that little beige cart next to your Hospital bed.

 

Calling my squire, I donned my shining paladin armor and rushed out into the community to gather up whatever support I could. You will never know how many favors I had to call in, in order to get some of the finest and well-respected members of this forum, to respond to your noobie post.

 

You’re quite lucky they didn’t simply throw you to the wolves for trolling. You DON’T want to see the Dark Side of Buddah crashing down on you from above.

 

While I am on the subject Buddah is probably, the kindest man you will ever meet, until you piss him off. That sets off a chain of events more frightening than any video game you will ever play.

 

If by any chance Dark0ne notes that you have displeased this most merciful of men, you will then be thrown into the darkest of dungeons to be eaten alive by huge rats with diseases even I cannot pronounce. Not a pretty picture. Not a pretty picture indeed!

 

By my last count, only 50 members of this forum have shown their respect for Buddah by giving him the kudos he so richly deserves. I am warning you, if this ugly display of ingratitude continues for much longer THERE WILL BE TROUBLE. Heaven forbid the loss of his golden light upon this quiet kingdom, and the bloodshed that will follow when there is no one left to buffer you from the awe full anger of the Dark0ne.

 

I have tried to bring this matter before you nicely in the past but you have left me with no alternative but to threaten you with the truth. Do you think LHammond the Hammer aka Conan_Lon will protect you. Think again. Buddah keeps the Hammer from flating your snoty little noses.

 

BTW, those of you who have not already given LHammond kudos might also want to consider carefully your future. Paying homage to the great modders of Oblivion is a wonderful thing, but where would we be without the efforts of these three honorable men to keep TES-Nexus alive?

 

And Duskrider while I'm on the subject, dose anyone have any objections to taking out individuals with ego's the size of small or maybe even big countries? :smile:

[Chesto]

I MUST reset the snooze control on my pace-maker! There I was, tears and other mucus dripping quietly onto the keyboard, thinking nothing was happening here, that I may as well go to bed....

 

This time difference is a killer. I'm getting jet lag just sitting here! And I'm ALREADY at death's door. You young whippersnappers don't know what a life threatening experience the common cold can be for an old fart like me . Especially when one puffs on the pipe ( No. Not THAT kind of pipe, so you can stop speed dialling the fuzz.) constantly as I do. My motto ( well one of 'em ): I don't do sports; abhor all forms of exercise. Interferes with my smoking.

 

So... to respond: ( puts on quadri-focals; squints at hastily scrawled notes )

 

batlham-

 

firstly, must apologize for consistently mispelling your tag heretofore . batlham makes eversomuch more sense than baltham, which I think is a suburb of London. No. That's Balham. But I digress....

 

One feels that one should leap to the defence of ones more recent former colony,Canada, especially as that former colony never HESITATED to come to our aid in our many hours of need. Unlike some others, who shall remain nameless. But that's all historical water under the bridge. Special relationship, and all that. ( Are you Americans aware that you HAVE a special relationship with us Brits? Thought not. Our British politicians are terribly good at trying to delude their voting public. They don't succeed. Just, very good at trying. Can't imagine your politicians would even want to bother vis a vis the 'special relationship' thingy)

 

Where was I? Oh. Canada. Firstly- they do not have Jedi. They have Mounti. With very long lances. With a pennant on the ends of the lances. It is the pennant which does the damage. A fact which you Americans refuse to acknowledge. How else has Canada maintained its independence from the US of A all these years? After all the wars you have had with the Canadians ( tho we were sort of running things at the time) you still insist on fixating on the lance and not the pennant.

 

And you have not considered, batlham, the serious disruption that would be caused to your yuppy classes if they were deprived of their Canadian maple syrup. And ,no. Your New England stuff just woudn't substitute. Canadians have developed their own strain of formaldehyde (sp?) which they use in persuading the Maples to 'bleed', which your American boffins have as yet to better. Which is why Canadian maple syrup has that subtle bouquet which yours cannot hope to match. Would be a bit of an 'own goal ' taking out Canada. Tho you could wipe out the Yukon, if it wasn't against the rules. Hate to think you have no recourse to revenge on the Evil StepMom from the Yukon, but rules are rules.

 

Jonlissla- 'spect the folks from Stockholm envy the ones from Scane, who have only the porridge to cope with. Having that plus a baseball bat up the fundament...! Would be a kindness to off Stockholm, really.

 

Stormraven-

 

EVOKE THE HOLY TRINITY TO ME , WILL YOU!

 

The bless-ed LHammond's tuts on retexturing have given me hope! When, at last , I take up my bed and walk, I shall be lauching myself into them again with GUSTO, almost.

I HAVE seen the dark side of Buddah. It's just as bright and shiny as the ... light side! Afterall, what would be the point of being the supremely spriitually evolved being if one wasn't bright and shiny 360 degrees!?

As to your threats about invoking the 'wrath' of the Dark One...Pah! I say. And again, Pah! He's down there in Devon, scoffing scanes (sic)( you are not the only one who can speak in tongues, Stormraven!)smothered in jam and clotted cream! I fear him not! By the way, I'm offing Devon because of the inbalance it brings about in the nation's cholesterol profile.

Oh, and Stormraven... don't try your not so subtle trick of attempting to blind me with science. My mind is made up, already! And, yet again...PAH!

[Abramul]

Blinding people with science is far less effective than blinding them with laser beams. Dynamite might work, but certainly won't win you any prizes.

[batlham]

I hope no one took that whole post I did with jedi with any amount of seriousness?

I was in a loopy, tired, and lack of sleep state that made it all seam very funny.

 

to the Duckrider

yes American beer big company beer sucks monkey ball sweat.

That's why I drink Guinness and IPAs.

 

Chesto...no worries if you misspell my name :)

Its Klingon. the "tlh" is one letter in their alphabet.

As for the Jedi comment...it was a bit obscure in meaning...

Have you seen Canada's star wars fans?? they are wimpy compared to ours :geek:

(Both are freaking scary though) ...LOL And I did see a wookie outfit on TV at a convention there that looked more like a moose.

As for bombing beer factories...I think its still a good idea... :yucky: :biggrin:

Canadian maple syrup?? BLAH..the best maple syrup comes from the south east USA (Vermont, Massachusetts, ect)

As for the special relationship with us Brits..duh. I would never want the UK to go piff!!

I love the beer, bagpipe music, and British BBC comedy. I did make a partner mod of Rowan Atkinson.

 

However, I guess I was against the rules. Canada is not part of the USA (thank god)

 

So I guess I will just stick to California.

 

 

 

 

P.S. :banana: :teehee: :woot: :no:

Ghyslain Raza (Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada)

[Chesto]

baltham- your most welcome humour was not misplaced, nor was it misunderstood :thumbsup: For that, alone, I must acquiesce to your desire to rid yourself of California. But when you included the YOu Tube! I just have to give you CANADA as well! :biggrin: Rules are meant to be bent, afterall. Anyway, its only Canada. WE must have given it up for some reason.

I'd forgotten that vid. Oh the laughter! My cough-wracked ribs have now shattered. Is that a GOLF CLUB he's using? I think I may have spotted a flaw in the Canadian WPGA strategy, if that is so.

BTW...I take it you've moved to Alaska, to get within striking distance of the Yukon. Either that, or you mispoke when you put Vermont etc. in the ' south east'. Or... are our world maps different from yours?

Rowan Atkinson! Of course! :thumbsup: Might just have to include him in my party, now. Though up until now I've tended to keep an all female squad about my female character. Call me old fashioned but... I dont really want to spend the little time I've got, playing OB, ( and generally ) watching hairy arsed guys running all over my monitor when the alternative is so much more...pleasant. I may have to revise that view: how would Rowan feel about questing with Gimli? There's a joke in there somewhere. :thanks:

 

Abramul- agree with you about the laser beams. :thumbsup: Do you think UEFA ( that's Union of European Football Assocs- to you non 'beautiful game' types) will now consider allowing them on the pitch, as well as in the stands?

But...Abramul, you haven't picked a bit of your country yet. You KNOW you want to. As the blessed Mrs Doyle would say ' Gowan gowan gowan gowan gowan gowan gowan ...GOWAN!! Please....

[batlham]

Chesto you would love to hve mr.bean in your party.. he is a cm partner.

He has a book I made...it is the whole script to the frist black adder episode.

 

He has a wierd spell though...a form of wabba jack. But he only turns people into animals LOL

 

No real reason why other than its funny when a horse runs through you in a cave because he turned a goblin or vampire into one LOL

[Chesto]

B.- am off to download NOW. At last, some of those 'naughty'animations I've got stored up might come in useful. Though, Mr.Bean having... w h h h h h h h h. And with Gimli!? Now that's just not funny. Maybe not. Bean stays celibate. EDIT : If it plays as funny as the readme then I'm in for a treat.

BTW: not that it matters, but your question about the Jedi ref- Mounti = Mounties aka RCMP aka Royal Canadian Mounted etceteras. I ofen find that my jokes are so much better when they have to be explained. :rolleyes: END EDIT.

[Abramul]

Well, we don't get enough snow here in the shadow of TMI. Blast a flat path through the Appalachians to Lake Erie, and we might get some of the lake effect snow.
