Dawn ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My commute has turned into an obstacle course due to resurfacing. And I think there's a really BIG problem at work. Blearg.
I used to get asked by other kids what language I spoke at home when I visited the Midwest. It is a lot better than it used to be (though I still often have to repeat the New in New Mexico for clarity) but NM Magazine still runs the "One of Our 50 is Missing" column for a reason: [link]
Reminds people of the Atlanta Olympics when people from New Mexico couldn't order tickets - over the phone? in some manner - because they couldn't take orders that way from outside the U.S.

"I hate to correct you on your own show, Casey, but there are actually 52 states including Alaska and Rhode Island."
There's a story about an Israeli soccer player who once said that on the next season he wanted to play either in Spain or in Europe.
Yeah, it's not what we're talking about, but still.
Speaking only for myself, it's nice to know there are dumbasses everywhere. The US doesn't have the market on it!
Hey, wow! I finally caught up! (Okay, so I skipped almost 3 weeks of July natter.)
Hello again, Buffistas!
Yeah, but with this "US is Number One" complex around here, you'd think that USanians would feel some obligation to actually live up to that standard.
But "USA #1!!!!" is all you need to know!
I find myself rooting against the US in the Olympics a lot, just so I don't have to watch the "OMG!!We're so awesomely wonderful" celebration things.
I'm also tired of athletes being heroes, but that's whole other rant. Dedicated, talented, and overcoming adversity, sure. Heroes, no.
Sorry, some of the rant got out.
