[Blue_Tires]

1. downtown...you know; just like the song...

[rurallib]

2. Shangri-La - yes, indeed.

[MiddleFingerMom]

3. The only sign of Tourette's Syndrome that I exhibit...

.
...is this: Though I haven't played the game for decades, out of nowhere I
will suddenly and enthusiastically cry, "Kamchatka to Irkutsk, ROLL TWO!!!"
.
Then I roll over and go to sleep... leaving my partner to spend a post-coital
sleepless night wondering what the hell that was all about.

10. This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,...

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Shakespeare, King Richard II

11. Kafiristan, if I would be King (nt)

[femmocrat]

12. Canada -- for the health care. n/t

[pink-o]

13. If I were to leave the USA with unlimited funds to live wherever I wanted, I assume you mean.

Easy answer: Rome, Italy.

LOVE it. Love it. Love it. Rick Steves is the object of my stomach-knotting jealousy, getting paid to hang out in Italy. I was just there again in October, 2009, and it never gets old. So I"ll hoist a glass of Soave, scarf another Gelato and cuddle up to Massimo, or Fabio, or Marco...

16. Atlantis

I like swimming

[krispos42]

18. Try reading "Opening Atlantis" by Harry Turtledove

Alternative history novel. I just started it yesterday; part of a 3-book series. The English just discovered "Atlantis", a continent that consists of the eastern 3rd of the US and Canada that broke away from the rest of the North American continent several million years ago.

It's a three-book series. Should be interesting.

Yeah, I want to live in a country inspired by Stephen King. :scared:

19. Bangalore, India.

I'd get a job teaching Indian call-center employees how to speak like an American.

Saw it in Tom Friedamen's film about globalization.


"I know it's spelled "B U T T E R" but it's pronounced 'budder', dammit! Now say it! Say it! Say it!"




They'd love me there. I can just feel it.
