If GDP and the Lounge were geographical locations, where would they be?

How far apart, and on what continents?

I have a feeling the Lounge might be in Amsterdam... :smoke:

GDP, Lawd, i don't know, but i'd try to avoid it! :D

1. GDP would be like, Somalia
armed gangs roaming the streets, nobody knows who's on what side so they're all firing indiscriminately, the US sends in a helicopter and it's torn apart by an angry mob, and when at the end of the day all is said and done, one fact remains:

It's Clinton's fault. :D

6. The first google hit for "butthole of the earth"

Is a Yahoo Answers question: "What is Alabama's nickname?"

7. I think the lounge would be somewhere in the Carribean
Someplace like Puerto Rico, lush and warm and relaxing where lots of rum flows in copious amounts...GDP would be like Siberia..cold harsh and unforgiving...where hungry wolves roam in search of vulnerable prey....

16. Lounge: Amsterdam GDP: Clute
If any of you here are from Clute, well sorry, but I think GDP is either Clute or Pasadena, Texas. Clute won for me because it has the Great Mosquito Festival, and well, GDP has a lot of people who are out for blood...

But I agree with you SallyMander :smoke: we have a mellow vibe here, and I love it.

:hippie:

It's a great place to be............... FROM!

Superfund waste sites, chemical plants, PCBs dumps... its an example of what Bush's America is really like. Most of the people are working class or below the poverty line, and this "recession" is hitting em hard, and with the environmental problems, they don't even have health care (cancer treatment) when they really need it.

24. I forgot to mention, Ron Paul is from there...
...actually a few miles away in Surfside... but he gets complaints from people in the area who call him a "commie" and "liberal". So yeh, that's Clute.

I can't believe I forgot Ron Paul :silly:

location.

It reminds me of a print a friend has, with all kinds of crazy sh!t going down -- people giving birth to giant strawberries, etc -- totally fascinating!

45. Lounge: any low-keyed, off-beat cafe in the world.
GDP: Jerusalem where everyone hates each other because they think god has told them they alone are right.
