The Czech Republic

Okay, is it just me, or is this like the third or fourth thread this chazz guy has started that has to do with some ridiculous confrontation that may or may not involve local law enforcement? I'll run a search if I have to

Totally. I mean, like, red and pink SO don't go together! Can we say fashion faux pas? He's referring to those stupid fashion caps that people wear. Purists like myself, Anglesault, and evidently this dude feel that if you're gonna wear a Red Sox cap, it has to be navy blue with a red B on it. And so on/so forth. Pastel pink White Sox caps especially irritate me, because it gets rid of the original black/silver/white we-ripped-off-the-Raiders-because-we're-thugs-from-a-ghetto-too scheme and made it teen girl-friendly.

Lot of philistines at the board.

He's right. I'm partial to Peep's in Arlington Heights, at the corner of Thomas and Rand. Go

Side note: "Oh Sherrie" is one of the first songs I can remember listening to as a kid. Mine is "Fat Boy" by Maxamillion. now hear dis!

"Guys, there's just one guy doing all the voices here, that's it. Just one guy doing all the talking. Just one. One guy. Just one guy." -Joel (paraphrased)

Mik, this thread is going to lead to the begining of your eBay funeral. EDIT: Okay, got the reference in, now I actually checked: oh fucking God, wildpegasus is bringing like-minded folk to the board. Let's take care of this before it gets out of hand and ban the lot of them on the basis of board invasion.

So I'm better than Van Gogh and Galileo combined!

Maybe they'll be like the old Seals from the late 60s and change their name on a whim every month: Oakland Seals, California Golden Seals, Oakland Golden Seals, California Seals, Minnesota North Stars...

I thought LeBron's contract is up after this season. Don't draftees only sign for three years?

Sounds good. Can't beat the South or Midwest when it comes to eating, though.

Yeah, pretty much

Sufjan Stevens doesn't have it in him to be creepy.

Lapland is where the Lapps live, in the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. I think they're closer to the Finns than they are the Swedes, in terms of ethnic stock. So they kinda look like monkeys.

I don't have the heart to tell him that the mixing board isn't connected to anything.

Agent, wouldn't it kick ass if we didn't get any major snowfalls from here on out. Last year we had a weekend in February when it was like 65, then the next day we got 8 inches. I was crestfallen.

What sort of cuisine is Seattle known for, anyway? VX and I were just discussing the greatness of Chicago's local fare. The Pacific Northwest always seems like the odd man out when it comes to cool regional identities.

Would you mind if I were to view you as a role model of sorts?

What is your sig from. Also, I thought you were drunk tonight.

This isn't question. And what's you obsession with me, anyway? Take a board break

Leena, be the Keiper of tennis. When was the last time someone couldn't finish the final? To just have it happen in the deciding match of the tournament is bad enough, but three of the last four matches? Her win is going to be severely marred by controversy. Too bad. I always pulled for her to beat the Williamseses.

Mick Foley was supposed to have retired almost SIX FUCKING YEARS AGO. SIX.

Even though we're in Testing Grounds, this isn't of much lower quality than most hip-hop threads in the Music folder.

I don't think that's exactly right. They had designated four areas because of apartheid, but no other country recognised them. Swaziland(which does touch Mozambique) wasn't among them I dont think. Is that what the Orange Free State is concerned with? That was the second error by an 8th-grade Czech Republic that bumped me out of the geography bee. The question, "other than Lesotho, which African nation has boundaries with only one other nation?" I thought it was the Orange Free State, it was The Gambia, I was outta there, and my lack of knowledge about Africa once again bit me in the ass. The other one was "Where does the majority of Argentina's population come from?" Answer was Europe, I overshot the question and said Asia on the basis of the indigenous tribes arriving from across the Bering land bridge. Had I gotten that right I would've won my room with a perfect 20/20 and not forced the six-way tie that I fucked up on.

It's got something to do with an area of land around the Spain/France border, which is where the Basque people live. Don't know why they don't just speak Spanish or French; their language must've just been around before the other ones got a hold. Okay, I know where the Basque country is. The conundrum is that the language is in no way related to anything in the Indo-European branch of languages, let alone the Romance family that includes Spanish, French, et al. It doesn't seem to be related to Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, or Caucasian languages, either. Did you know that the indigenous population of Japan, the Ainu, is white? How strange. They seem to be very hairy folk who enjoy tattoos and hunting.
