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.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

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

This was well before the Macarena, Missy.

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!!)

(It's a little teeny island, meara.)

If I only had a brain...
It's an itty teensy almost invisible island in the Gulf.

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).

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Jeff ... according to Ebroadcast.com.au (formerly Sofcom.com.au) all Aussies are seeing the same episodes of Angel (albeit a day earlier for Brisbane and Sydney) and the last ep we saw was "Apocolypse Nowish".
Buffy is a different story because Brisbane and Sydney get it on a Monday night and the rest of us on Tuesday. The Grammys broadcast means they are now an episode behind. We saw CwDP last week and they just saw it last night. Tonight we get "Sleeper" but they won't see it until next Monday.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
even Romanian peasants get satellite TV (along with their wood-burning stove, their scythe-cut grass and their milk squeezed fresh from the cow)
FayJay, I can't believe you witnessed this in person! It's like meeting someone who used to make buggy whips. And thanks for your balanced perspective on poor beleaguered Zoe:
I can quite appreciate that you'd feel that "In a pig's arse" was a combative response...
...though not everybody can apply a comprehensive refutation as politely as Betsy. It's a gift. My version would be:
Since the close blood ties between the German and British monarchies (the Kaiser was King Edward's nephew) didn't stop, or even slow, WWI, I think that's a safe bet. BOO-YAH! Who's got a comeback NOW! Just sit down, UnAmericans, and let me school ya on some old-fashioned CUL-TURE, Yankee style. I got a fold-out Hanover family tree right here in my wallet!
Of course, I never get to do this. I lost Bahrain, just like meara, and I thought "U.A.E." was the abbreviation for Saudi Arabia.
I'm betting Holden telling Buffy about Scott being gay was a nod to Fab's appearances in QaF.
I'm glad to hear that. When I saw it, I thought they were saying, "He broke up with Buffy? He must be gay." This is better.
