I do appreciate the appology. I do realize that you were applauding SJ's rant, but I think I just got all bristly cause yet there was another reference backing up the 'ugly' American label.

And by God...I should be the first one to stand up and say that many Americans are a&&holes....but yet I feel compelled to defend 'US'.

Thanks again...smooches to you!

Respectfully,

Lola

Compared to most Americans, I think you one of the 2 (Springie is the other) most itelligent and beautiful Americans sincer er America was discovered. Anime Smooch

Oh Lola, you should see some of the names in Newfoundland...

joe batt's arm
toogood arm
pothead
whitless bay
cow's head
cupid
bacon cove
hooping harbour
happy adventure
heart's desire
heart's content
heart's delight
bareneed

To name but a few ...

And Springie ... LOL to blueballs and intercourse!!

Oh heck, I so know where I'd live.

Kind of like in Perth, two of the suburbs names:

(Please insert Aussie accent here and turn the "er" into "uh") Upper Swan

Or how about "Innaloo"

(Loo - for the North American's - means Toilet)

Heh heh

SJ

Bloody Hell he says in his South Staffordshire accent.

In fact SJ, there's a town in Cornwall that I have been to as a kid called Looe during the Easter holiday.

but Intercourse, Blow Me Down and Dildo? Damm, glad that I won't live in any of those towns.

Still laughing at DILDO....

Can you imagine the businesses and the local groups using their town names...

DILDO Supermarket....

Bank of Dildo

DILDO Rugby Team or

DILDO PEE WEE LEAGUE (kid's baseball group in the US)

Mayor of Dildo or Mayor of Intercourse...

*snicker*

This day just got sooo much better!

springie my B/H said that Intercourse is where the movie King Pin was filmed.... at least the amish part since that what it is.

Still it would be rather interesting to live in some of these unusal named places.

That got kind of nasty - but the rebuttals from members from around the globe in defence of the might Canuck was magnificent to watch.

Hehehe yes I remember it well oooo how the flames rose ever higher Flamebounce

but the responses from others were magnificent.....wonder if I still have those threads somewhere....

This almost reminds me of the film Canadian Bacon, which I have got to admit was funny and so was the TV show Due South and I am not trying to say thing bad about Canada at all. I am sure it a very nice placell.

I've never been to Canada but I'd like to go sometime. I've heard great things about Lake Louise and the Vancouver area.

Perhaps we should have a "Cultural day " like they have at school , grab a world map and point where we are from.

actually I started saying that tongue in cheek, but now that i come to think about it, I recall seeing a world map on some internet site forum(heaven which site that was! ) where it showed where on earth their members were from!

Hey Cep, do you know what Im talking about? how cool would it be to finally see which part of Canada, America, England, Australia, etc, we are from?

As for you SJ my darl <<superdamnhugs>> It must be the toughest thing for you to feel so displaced, missing "home" and having to bear with cliches and other misconceptions.

If you know how, pm me here and I'll make sure you get one heck of a package from Aus...you deserve it! Tim Tams and all!

I was googling around to find you some more misconceptions about Australia, and I was shocked to discover just how much more culturally baised WE are towards certain countries! think of Kiwis and sheep and you get my drift, and thats only one country!

Its the reason we cringe when we get overseas stand up comics, who try out our "lingo" . We are ALL, regardless of nationality, fallen victim to "cultural bias" .

Education is the key. Learning to correct those misconceptions regardless of whether they are about americans, Britts, Canadians or us Auzzies to name but a few. One step at a time. peace

As for town names, i wish I could live in the astronomy capital of Australia in the Warrumbungle Shire Council....COONABARABRAN!!

I'd like to see how many would be able to say that five times and not get a headache! lol!
