Mar Idoun Aurora Empire Fuzzy Nut Attack Squirrels	Posted - 2006.12.15 05:18:00 - [31] there are definite regional differences in the US, some differences are so overt and radical that go far beyond lexical differences. The northeast, where I live is in a state of being rushed, being on time, early even, is very important. Also from my experiences we are a lot more focused on being politically correct and also have an attitude that conserves the idea that we are the epicenter of the United States as the Northeast coast is where the first colonies were established and as a result where much of the war for independence was fought. It's a pretty snobby attitude, it is. But I call it home. It seems NE United States = Caldari :P

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2006.12.15 11:32:00 - [33] Edited by: Danton Marcellus on 15/12/2006 11:35:01 Originally by: J Frost Originally by: Viktor Fyretracker Originally by: Pantalala Well, at least you know no matter where you live, you know what Coke and Pepsi are. i think i heard somewhere coka-cola is the best known english word in non english as a primary speaking countries. And as I remembered, that name was calculated by computer to fit the best pronouciation for all languages speakers. To the OP: nope, not heard of that. Guess what, they failed, I tried ordering Coca Cola of a dane this summer, I had to have another dane, who somehow grasped what I was saying, translate it to him. I didn't whine enough to get the order across, note to foreigners, when trying to speak danish sound like you're in dispair, it actually helps to get the message across. And yes, the brand is way too old to have its name computer generated in the first place. Ourselves Alone
River Torrent	Posted - 2006.12.15 13:18:00 - [34] Originally by: Kalahari Wayrest is it true you don't have jaffa cakes or flakes? If they don't have Jaffa Cakes in teh US there is no flipping way I'm going there. In the US isn't jaffa a man who likes th company of other men - in a naked way [this may or may not be true]
Kazuma Saruwatari	Posted - 2006.12.15 13:21:00 - [35] Did a bit of research and found out that Gatorade is not the same as Lucozade since they are both made by two different companies, but offer the same service. One has caffeine (Lucozade) whilst another mostly doesnt (Gatorade has a couple of version that have caffeine). I could go on and on about em, but thats just me
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2006.12.15 14:23:00 - [36] Sainsbury's sell Gatorade and beef jerky, so there Is it true you call *** people ciggarettes, and call scones biscuits, and biscuits cookies? And no jaffa cakes? And that you don't have MARMITE?!?!? Marmite being the last straw, Patch86 faints -----------------------------------------------

slapp Caldari BoNe CoLLeCTorS	Posted - 2006.12.15 21:03:00 - [39] Edited by: slapp on 15/12/2006 21:03:46 I'd pick Powerade over Gatorade any day in the week. I mean, BlueBerry looks like some sort of cleaning chemical. Lime is simply grose. And that other flavour (dwarf oranges :P Can't remember the name atm) is also disgusting. Powerade on the other hand has Lime flavour I'd kill for. And they are quite expensive, but they do give you an energy boost before/after the exercise. It maybe just the placebo effect, but it works nontheless :) (had been training swimming for 10 years and I've been through most of these energy drinks. From those with caffeine to eau naturelle :S) Oh, and I know what Beef Jerky is. Cartoon Network and Johnny Bravo did their job quite well -GIMME BLOOD & BOOBIES-
Sakura Nihil Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.12.16 06:07:00 - [40] Originally by: Patch86 Is it true you call * people ciggarettes Its an extreme term that'd get you likely arrested for hate speech here. Originally by:** Patch86 and call scones biscuits, and biscuits cookies? And no jaffa cakes? And that you don't have MARMITE?!?!? Wait, so you call cookies biscuits? Um, okay - and wtf is a jaffa cake or marmite?

Fabiure	Posted - 2006.12.19 07:40:00 - [52] Well iam from the South East now Living in the Midwest and I have to say It was a Culture shock moving here. Iam Cuban-American and I can Honestly say that every Region of the Good Ole US of A is Diffrent . Each with its own personality. Rember the USA was Owned by 3 or 4 World powers. Then we kicked them out :) they didnt pay enough for rent :)
