Anything that moves is my type.  ;) ;)

... or doesn't move.  It don't matter.

Xus, I was gonna totally cut you down with my rapier wit, but then you had to go and ruin it by giving me your permission... :P

Anyway, it always annoys me how Americans always have this buffet-style view on nationality. "My great great great great great great grandad was one of those wusses who fled Ireland, so I'm actually Irish. I'm also Malaysian 'cause my aunt lived there for a while..."  You're all Americans. Deal with it... :P

Actually, I was born in New Zealand, so I'm realli... not american.  :D

* Xus takes pride in dodging the disease of having such a horrible nationality.

The American part isn't important. That was just an example, since America tends to be so diverse.

You're an Aussie wannabe. Not a Brit, Pole, or Mexicano :P

Well according to the $40,000 scholarship I got from U of M for my diverse ethnic background I'm Mexicano!  Woohoo!

This is getting increasingly off-topic, and I already had several of my posts deleted today for just that (ouch  X-/), so uhhh to get back on track, these pictures are all beautiful and I want to give you all a nice big New Zealand hug (you know, the sort that beats the pants off of Australia's and Ireland's hugs because New Zealand is the greatest country in the world besides Africa).  :whistling:

How could you possibly tell it's nice from that picture? :P

Wait... you actually get a free education just 'cause you're of impure blood? Well damn, wish it was that easy in Ireland :P
Have you even been to Mexico?

It looks nicer than it plays, trust me. :P  It's an Ibanez, but it was a low-end $200 one (I don't know how many pounds that is; figure it out!)  Actually, it's not too bad, it just constantly goes out of tune whenever I use the tremolo bar (but its got a floating bridge  ;) likely the only guitar for that price with one) and it's only got one double-coil pick-up, and two single-coils.  But on the plus-side, it's got a sweet arch-top, which is an absolute must for me; I'm just crazy about the arch-top look, so I realli don't even express much of an interest at all in guitars without one.  Elitist, perhaps, but so be it.  :P

Wait... you actually get a free education just 'cause you're of impure blood? Well damn, wish it was that easy in Ireland :P

Not free!  Oh no, that's just full tuition.  And I almost went to Mexico once... cause we got off at the wrong Exit on the highway.  ;D  Anyway, it doesnt matter!  They never asked!  It's their money to go pissing away on people like me!

But don't Aussie's have it even easier?  I heard that if you live in Australia for enough time, the government will pay for your entire college education anywhere in the country.

But that's just what I heard... Other countries have it even better than I do!  Go look for 'em!  I mean it!  Go!  Look!  Now!

You'll probably get in on with a grant from Access if you tell them you're from the north side.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Actually, officially, Ireland has a free education system. Though nowadays it costs about €4,000 a year for books and a dorm and stuff. Still, it's better than the States.

Ahem, which side is Trinity College, the most prestigious college in Ireland, situated again...? :P

It used to be the other way around..

Quote from: Wikipedia
This division dates back centuries, certainly to the point when the Earl of Kildare built his residence on the then less-regarded Southside. When asked why he was building on the Southside, he replied "Where I go, fashion follows me", and he was promptly followed by most other Irish peers.

Moving a collage would be too hard.

The point is, the Northsiders, in their infinite inferiority, have managed to maintain Ireland's no. 1 university for centuries, even after all the posh bastards moved down to the Southside... :P

In other words, ye're all rich airheads :P
