L. Marcus Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Also meat pie floaters. assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also never been to South Australia, but that's not necessarily related. On the other hand, I've had Turkish pide, but I've never been to Turkey. Of course, technically it would have been Turkish-style pide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 But, you are in Australia how could you have not been to south Australia. Ok, making fun of people who probably think Australia is the size of small city. (just like some non-Americans* seem to think USA is NYC, LA, maybe DC and Chicago and nothing else) *hell, too many actually Americans seem to be in that category.

How informed you are is fairly relative, Voting decisions from all different ages bother me. Being older may mean your wiser, but also means you're more set in your ways, generally more conservative and often just as close-minded. I do hear and agree, in general. Though being stubborn can have its value. (just like enthusiasm as previously mentioned, can lead you into something stupid, before you realize the mess you brought yourself). Just being a little nitpicky. Just that both of those attributes have strengths and weaknesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 There are useful shorthand ways of showing that you are in certain countries. If you can see the Eiffel Tower, you are in France. If you can see Tower Bridge you are in the UK. If you can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, you are in Australia, etc. Unfortunately, they can cause a bit of confusion for the clueless. You can use them in RPGs, naturally. I used to live near here. Yes, I have used it to symbolize Brisbane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 And if you see a lot of ice and penguins. You just might be lost. (or Antarctica) assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Penguins have quite a broad range, including Australia, but for establishing shot purposes, they definitely say Antarctica. Weird, there's even a colony in Sydney. Not within sight of the Harbour Bridge, unfortunately, although individuals apparently forage all around Sydney harbour. So you could have one in an establishing shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I suspect they would approve of fish tacos, depending on the other toppings. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know they take a surprisingly large amount of the Southern Hemisphere, but I did add the ice part. assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Statue of Liberty's across from the medieval castle, and diagonally across from the Easter Island head. The sphinx and pyramids are a little further south. Rome is a bit to the north, just before the volcano. Hermit, Pattern Ghost, Lord Liaden and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I suppose the good news is that even with his penchant for sticking his foot in his mouth at inopportune moments, Biden still looks like a freakin' Nobel laureate compared to Trump. The bad news is that I'm not sure that's gonna matter. I mean, if smarts were important, Trump would never have been elected in the first place.

Badger Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I want to find a way to give that to you, but no I cant say Biden is a Nobel laureate compared to Trump. The fall debates will be a mess. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Trump is not a genius but I give him credit for not stupid. What he is, is willfully ignorant of many subjects and unwilling to change his preconceptions because that would be tantamount to being wrong.
