If you start reading it and don't like it you can stop. Give it until at least the end of Act 1 though, because that's when I really started getting into it. It's pretty average before that.

Also, you're not really an "outsider" for not following something a few of us like. That would be like saying you're an outsider because you live in America while Fool, Luke, DS, and I don't.

[up]But that has no real effect here. We don't all talk about our nationalities.

[up][up] Well then I guess we'll have to start. tongue

Living in the middle of Canada is kind of boring. Everyone outside Canada (and most people in it) assume that everyone in Canada lives in Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal. Maybe you'll get a few stereotypical Newfie references as well, but to the rest of the world, where I live is an empty grassland.

I kinda don't like being in New Jersey because of all the negative stereotypes due to things like Jersey Shore and stuff. And I try to tell myself that the area I'm in isn't bad, but then sometimes I see otherwise.

On the other hand, pork roll.

I stayed in a hotel in New Jersey once. On a school trip to New York.

I don't remember. It was either good, or terrible. I can't keep which hotel was which sorted in my mind.

I think it was the good one, and the terrible one was the next night.

Considering I live in Australia and you either deas with the tourists who a) Think Australia is all desert and that the people act like a cross between Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin and that you'll see Kangaroos hopping over the Habour Bridge or b) Are Germans or Japanese.

Then again, trolling tourists is the national sport of Australia so we play up the stereotypes as long as people believe them.

I live in NJ too. It's a nice town, and I try to redeem my state by telling people that all the people on Jersey Shore are from New York.

It lets me go to Seaside Heights and enjoy myself every summer without shame.

[up][up] Canada does that too, actually. But we can only play them up when we leave the country, since it's plainly obvious to anyone there that we do not do half the things we're said to do (live in igloos, eat moose meat (well, all the time, anyway), etc).

[up] If you want even more fodder for redeeming your state, I'm pretty sure a couple of the cast members of that show are actually from Delaware.

Deadpan Snarkery seems to be a running theme for Commonwealth Countries.

America misses out on that aspect because they bailed out early.

Well, I've been to New Jersey enough times to know that the stereotypes for the most part aren't true.

[up] I'd know, since my parents are Commonwealth.

Jeez. And someone tried to defend the show by saying one of them was frm Rhode Island. I laughed at them.

In other news, I feel very self-satisfied. Making my own dinner will do that to me. And it wasn't even microwavng a hot pocket. : P

So, I'm from England. And...Well, there's nothing remarkable about it, really.

It might have been Rhode Island... What did you make, Crewe?

I'm from Virginia. I can't really think of anything notable about Virginia, aside from Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg.

Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

It's very rainy though, obviously. Apart from when it's hot. I spent most of today shirtless.

Detroit isn't as run down as other places like Baltimore.

Oh it's run down alright, and crime is high in the Downtown Detroit area especially, but it's not nearly as bad as most of the media make it out to be and there are other places in the U.S that are worse.

I've been to Detroit enough times to know that.

@ Luke: Oh England. Australians refuse to talk about them politely, but we get along. Somehow

[up][up] Haven't been there. A couple years ago I went to Stratford, York, and London (and about half an hour in Scotland, and a night in Wales) on a class trip.

I took a lot of trips.

[up] I still find it funny that you're from Sydney and Detroit. I don't know why. It's just an odd juxtaposition.

I cut up string cheese and cherry tomatoes in a bowl and put olive oil on it, then microwaved some leftover baked beans. It was very yummy.

Mum's from Detroit (and oddley enough, that's where I was Christened)

Dad's from Sydney.

And If you want to take that further, my Grandparents on my mother's side were Welsh and Canadian-Scottish.

Do I count as some bizarre form of Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot yet?

I've never been to England, though I have family there as well as in Scotland and Canada. (Though we don't speak to my Scottish relatives.)

[up] Fool, you've got nothing on me.
