I thought Moldova was made up until I met a person from Moldova about three years ago.
This is why I love watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics.

Ann, that's a ferret.
But did she think that the adjective Bohemian originated with Doyle too?
Shakespeare set part of Winter's Tale on the seacoast of Bohemia. Which is a lovely area, right next to the Florida desert....

The county prosecutor in my (Ohio) county is trying to quarantine (and therefore not count) ~600 ballots cast by people who registered and voted the same day, due to claims of voter fraud.
Interestingly, that county prosecutor? Also happens to be the southwest Ohio regional chairman of the McCain campaign.
I think purges of voter rolls will be a key factor in this election, there are so many close swing states.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that's what this country needs - a bitterly contested election.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was completely disgusted when I heard that my step-grandmother was going to be in grease for two weeks. But then, I was six at the time.

Yeah, but not bitterly contested. That'll probably wait until after the voting....

Considering I've run into people in this country who fail to grasp that I am a citizen as I came from New Mexico, I'm a little easier on those who might miss the factuality of Bohemia. Raises an eyebrow, but just warrants a gentle correction.
Hell, with the -stans, half the time my brain goes wait,wait! Now is that a real one or fictional?! And I studied the frmr USSR and was totally obsessed with its splintering. And I used to have them memorized. My brain is holey cheese.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
To be fair, authors like Agatha Christie kept making up small Eastern European countries. I think.
My cat is yowling! I thought it was because I forgot to feed her this am (I found the food in the microwave), but she is still yowling. Also, I am so absentminded lately. Yesterday I fed her, but put Saran Warp on the dish, instead of the can in the fridge. And last week I (TMI alert,more appropriate in Bitches) although funny)
accidently inserted 2 tampons because
I forgot about the first one!
