He means that Contrary was joking.

^This. Especially considering, iirc, that Contrary lives in America.

So where is everyone here from?
Personally I'm from the land of the freaks and the home of the lame. You?

Where the hell is the land of the freaks and the home of the lame?

I'm from Wisconsin, the crazy drunken uncle of the United States.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. A strange land where many animals have right of way and the winds may sweep from burning, sandy hell or frigid, icy hell - that is - north or south, respectively.

Was technically born in Austria, aka birthplace of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nikola Tesla, and Adolf Hitler, but pretty much everyone in my family is from Bosnia and other former Yugoslavian states. Currently residing in northern Florida, a hellhole of humidity, in a quaint little village known as Jacksonville, surrounded by about a dozen complete redneck counties. Ugh. Right-wing extremists are ever so annoying :u

I'm from Finland, the land of hot summers, freezing winters and lots of naturestuff.
Like 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands.
And 86% of the country is just forest and forest and forest.
Also, Newsweek chose Finland as the "world's best country" in a study of "health, education, economy and politics".

It's just below Canada and right above South America.

I don't like america.

The only place in the US I'd call that, is probably Los Angeles. Well, minus that 'lame' part. Other than that, I like Wisconsin just fine. Although I will admit that there are way too many ignorant, moronic politically far-left/right types around here.

I dislike people. As a whole, people tend to be dumb.
Anyone want to move with me to the moon and set up a virtual reality tomb there?

I dislike small children. Those annoying screaming 2-8 year olds who think they can get anything if they just cry a little bit. Which probably works too.
Also social things. I really like to chat in IRC or forums just because it doesn't involve being close to another human being.
I could be your mad moonbase scientist, Duh.

Let's do it Duh. For the exact same reasons as you.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only active Portuguese person right now, more specifically from Lisbon. I hate the crooked stupidly retarded government, the corruption and all the drugged up scum that walks the streets. "But FoiL, Portugal has marvelous records in crime involving drugs" you might say. Do you know how those figures exist? Because everyone lies about it and looks away.

My family has been composed of extremists, my great-grandfather from my fathers side was part of the secret police at the service of our last dictator (Salazar, as I'm sure pretty much all of you don't know a rats ass about Portuguese history (and no, I don't blame you for it)) and my grandmothers second husband - the first one died from a work accident - was one of the captains that organized the downfall of said regime.

As far as I know my family as been Portugal for at least 6 - 7 generations, but I'm pretty sure that I'm a descendant of a completely Portuguese linage.

What's wrong with drugged up scum walking the streets?

Also, has anybody else seen the Mortal Kombat live-action movies? The first one taught me the secret to beating Goro, in MK 4. The only bad part is that Sub-Zero can't perform the split kick, only Johnny Cage can.

Nah, you are all wrong. All.

I totally prefer to use lemon and salt on my salad instead of oil and/or vinegar.

Oh god this.
I hate children so much. I wish they would all fly away into the sun like some generic shitty movie with flying mounts.
Like seriously how do they even make it to the sun.
