Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I sorta danced with a Vanderbilt. He later killed himself, very sad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Let me guess -- the Macarena?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My "boyfriend" in preschool was heir to Sears, Roebuck on one side of his family and the other side was one of the old banking families (Warburgs? Schiffs? I don't remember which one, except that it wasn't the Rothchilds.) He was three at the time, and I was two. He decided that he was my "boyfriend," which meant that he followed me everywhere and wouldn't let anyone come near me because they might hurt me (this started after another girl bit me), and told me that I was too little to use the slide because it was dangerous.

OK, wow, I got more of the middle eastern ones than I expected, but...geez.

(surprisingly, I got a few by thinking of news stories I'd read, and going "OK, hmm, I know turkey has to be there because it fights with greece, over cyprus which is the island in the middle, and jordan gets refugees so it has to be...here...")

(ok, now I'm REALLY confused...it looks like they're all filled in, but I have Bahrain leftover!!)

If I only had a brain...

It's an itty teensy almost invisible island in the Gulf.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I did better on the map than I expected to: I was doing really well in the Middle East up until Yemen/Oman/Qatar and that region (I did know which was the U.A.E.); I got all of Africa except that I kept thinking Mali was a coastal country, so I messed up a bit in that area; and I wiped out completely on the 'stans.

Which reminds me of a little moment of pride I had when I was travelling with my friend in India in January, and I drew up a map of the countries in southern Africa that I'd traveled through, and I kept going north until I couldn't remember any more--but I got a lot of countries! My friend was impressed. Go geography skills (I love maps).
