Such differences can be easily settled when southerners come along and 'give cheek'. Of course, I hasten to add, Lancashire did win. Wars of over five hundred years ago are not easily forgotten...

Surprising number of fellow North Carolin...inininiers.
In Boone, myself, at least at the present moment. Although quite proud of my California birthplace (and we don't talk about the 12 years in Iowa...)

Canadian women are the best looking women in the world

Ok, so we can talk about it. Jack Kerouac said Iowan women were the most beautiful in the world. You gonna argue with Kerouac? Huh?


Thought not.

Jack Kerouac said Iowan women were the most beautiful in the world.

I wish! (Iowa is but a two minute drive away from me)

In my experience though, girls from SW Omaha are much hotter than the ones across the river. Then again, Iowa is where I found my last girlfriend.

But I have to agree with Fordy on this. A ridiculously large percentage of the girls I've met from Canada were off the charts. You guys up there are blessed.

Says who?! Well, I guess I can agree with that. Partly. My friend is from Canada and she is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen. I think Arab women are the most beautiful though.

We wouldn't want this thread closed down now, would we?

And Gil-Galad wondered why he didn't get a Personal Title last time round, right, SaucePanMan?

Consider it part of the skill or art of a Downer to know where the line is, and to dance nimbly there but not cross over into chat-slews or tar pits of off-topicness which mar the fertile fields of good discussion.

In short, please be good gardeners and prune the infelicitous phrases.

[Neurion]

I don't get it. I said where I'm from, and Gil-Galad accuses me of being off-topic?!?

[Gil-Galad]

This Week on Off-Topic Posts, How the Where Everyone is Thread evolved into Which place has the hottest women? Iowa? Omaha? or the leading champion, Canada...

[Neurion]

From Nowhere I come, to Somewhere I go.

Where Life will lead me, I cannot know.

A warrior born, a scholar as well, treading a path 'twixt Heaven and Hell.

One ill step, I can ill afford, but yet I go on for the love of my Lord.

I wish I could see a few of them.

Well, I have to admit that I was indoctrinated at an early age by a Yorkie history teacher so I still am of the "Richard III" was stitched up brigade... and my best friend in the world is a Yorkie..... so we have more or less worked through the North - SOuth thing....

The French thing is worse.. in france I am often held personally responsible for everything since the 100 years war ...... and here some people think I must be French cos I was bilingual.... doubly damned....

What ever happened to the World Map that showed where a lot of Downers lived in the World?

It vanished, unfortunately. It was pretty impressive actually - there were a surprising amount of 'Downs-owned' countries, as you put it, Ainaserkewen - world domination, here we come! But it couldn't hold more than a couple of hundred Downer points, I think, so the newew points eventually started wiping off the older ones. I can't remember exactly why, but it stopped working. Being as there was no one who seemed to have the time, facilities and knowledge to start up and maintain a new one, the map vanished.

Pity, really. Good while it lasted.

I am sure that it's still there somewhere. Burra posted a link to it on a thread much like this one about a year ago and I went along and pinpointed myself, sadly wiping another Downer of the face of the earth in the process since, as Aman points out, it had only limited capacity.

You know, the only thing I find wierd about this thread is that the subject miraculously changed. But I'm frum Canada. The nice, cold country of Canada.

Welcome to the 'Downs, Glirdan! Once you've been here awhile, you'll notice that subjects can miraculously change quite often .

[Glirdan]

Why thank you Estel for the welome, and I see what you mean by the posts changing a lot. But that's what makes it funner, hey?

Oh, I disagree Glirdan, from where I'm standing, it's a balmy 7 degrees! The sun is shining, the birds are singing/dying of starvation(just kidding, we put out feeders) and out on the open water one sees sailors practicing for upcoming competitions. Plus, we all know when spring is really truly hear, it's when my Chem teacher, reedy Mr. Black starts coming to school on his practical red and white scooter. That, my good Glirdan is my Canada...oh yes, and welcome to this multi-national site of peace, happiness and Love...ing Tolkien.
