I missed the ethnicity discussion, but I admit to putting "American" on anything that asks. I've got one grandmother descended from colonists that came over with William Penn, and the other grandmother was Choctaw. One grandfather immigrated from Germany, and the other from Ireland (top two immigrant nations). I don't think it gets any more American than that.

Which is funny, since my whole young life I got "You speak English really well" and "We can't take your out-of-country checks" since I lived in New Mexico.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I can get "Love is all around" back in my head if I really try. At least it's not as annoying as Kelis or Gwen Stefani.

And dude, I'm old enough that the marriage/kids question is perfectly reasonable. Now THAT'S freaky.

Yep.

OMG, what is wrong with people?

I suppose I should get to work now.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Wow, people R dum. did you carry around a US map to prove people wrong about things like that??

Buffaroo

I thin this is an adjective, meaning "really really buff." Or, possibly, underpants made out of buffalo hide.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've heard these "New Mexico is a forgeign country" stories for forever, and they never fail to boggle.

My driver's ed teacher in high school asked me what country I was from. I said California. That seemed to satisfy him.

Someone in my high school yearbook had a quotation attributed to "Buckaroo Bonsai."

My grandmother used to have problems getting postage put on packages to us. It seems her post office people really, really, really wanted to believe NM required international postage.

Regardless of the map on the wall.

I've heard that from others also. The thing that boggled me was that 90% of my "NM!=USA" encounters happened in Texas. Where I'm pretty sure they know Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are states.
