[moviemaniac]

[rick]

(Klaus, do people really confuse Austria with Australia?)

(Klaus, do people really confuse Austria with Australia?)

Well, normally I'd say mostly Americans confuse us with Australia but since I'm on an american board and don't want a dozen rifles to point at me I keep my mouth shut :ashamed001

[Michael]

That's more than a little embarrassing. :o

[moviemaniac]

That's more than a little embarrassing. :o
Yeah, I know, but it's a sad fact. And, also, many people also mistake Austria (if they don't think of cangaroos) as a part of Germany or even mistake us as German people.
But the really sad thing is that the guys from Al Kaida and other terrorist groups already know where we are located on the map...
But that's another story ;)

[Michael]

Well, so much for the Clean Joke Forum. Who's the Moderator here anyway? :D

And just don't get me started on the Sweden/Switzerland mix-up issue ::mog

[Cutthroat_trout]

And just don't get me started on the Sweden/Switzerland mix-up issue ::mog


Are the mix ups mostly by citizens of the United States of America ? Do Europeans have the same geographical knowledge deficiencies ?

[moviemaniac]

And just don't get me started on the Sweden/Switzerland mix-up issue ::mog
Really, wow, that's tough...

@Lee: Well, I'm sure we Europeans also have our deficiencies in our geographical knowledge. You know best what's near to you...

Isn't it somewhere between the Undying Lands and Rivendell?

[moviemaniac]

Isn't it somewhere between the Undying Lands and Rivendell?
roughly, yeah :D

[Cutthroat_trout]

I used to date an Austrailian, I never could understand why she didn't snow ski better :confused:

Have you evere seen the thighs of downhill skiing women! :eek:

[Cutthroat_trout]

I did say she was Austrailian

[Michael]

What's all this got to do with Chappaquiddick? :confused:

[Cutthroat_trout]

What's all this got to do with Chappaquiddick? :confused:

Excellent question - Without Chappaquiddick, Edward Kennedy may have run and won the 72 election beating Nixon. Question is, would Kennedy pull us out of Vietnam or as Johnson and his brother before, escalate the conflict possibly alienating our friends. By time Kennedy runs his course as President we may not have elected Reagan after 4 dismal years with Carter. Reagan begat Bush, Bush begat Clinton, and Clinton begat W. Thru it all Austrailians have fought along side us in every modern war and considered one of our closes friends today. That was the best I could do on a Friday evening. :D

[Michael]

Australia is the one near Germany, right? Where Klaus is from? Or is that Sweden? I get so confused! :D

And who's "W"? Never mind...I don't want to go there.

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Michael, you might wanna purchase an atlas to sort out the confusion in your head :D

[mastermute]

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Michael, you might wanna purchase an atlas to sort out the confusion in your head :D

Well, I guess now US and Sweden are close, since Klaus live there and Lee said it was close to US since Clinton begat W. But I may be wrong, I doubt it, but I just may...:confused:

Hmm.. looking at it "Bush-Clinton-Bush"... seems logical :rolleyes:

[Scorpio]

this thread went downhill and fast just like the Australian Ski team!!!!:D

Raf

[Cutthroat_trout]

Nobody skied faster downhill than Franz Klammer ! He's the Austrailian who won the 76 Olympic downhill !

[Michael]

Uh, yeah.

Sure am glad I started this thread. We did learn one thing though...we need a new Forum...maybe we should call it WORLD GEOGRAPHY!!! ;)

[moviemaniac]

this thread went downhill and fast just like the Australian Ski team!!!!:D

Raf
I dunno how fast the Australians can ski but we do have some pretty darn fast Austrian skiers :D

[IsaacRN]

And its still alive....... :rofl

[Michael]

If I delete the original post, does the whole thread go away? :D

[IsaacRN]

Haha.........sadly no....

[mastermute]

Actually, he has given name to when you have to do "the big one" and have no ceramic chairs around, then you resort to do it "Franz Klammer-style" :rofl

Oh, cool.. Just out of curiosity, did the "default" setup change?

[Michael]

Yeah. Not sure why, but just build your own and default will disappear.

Is THAT close to Australia? And, maybe more importantly, has Franz Klammer ever been there?

[Queen of Blades]

Oh, cool.. Just out of curiosity, did the "default" setup change?

Yes. Sparky organized and moved some of the smilies. If you open the "more" smilies box, you'll see that there are now sections/classifications of the smilies.

When the smilies got classified, they got moved into a different order. Thus the 12 "default" smilies changed.

:happy088

Confused? :whacky011

[mastermute]

Confused? :whacky011
Not really, I just reflected over it.. and I guess the change is for the better!

Thanks for the explanation...
