So, I just took this country quiz that I found on Chasing Daisy. Guess what country I am?
I’m Canada!
Well, who would have thought that? I guess it’s a pretty accurate quiz after all. Here’s the description they provide:
People make fun of you a lot, but they’re stupid because you’ve got a much better life than they do. In fact, they’re probably just jealous. You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and others. If it weren’t for your weird affection for ice hockey, you’d be the perfect person.
Since I don’t actually have that weird affection for “ice hockey” (is there really any other sort? Just call it hockey!), I guess I’m the perfect person. Score.
Oh, check out this fantastic blizzard photo. I love it.

I am the United Kingdom!
"You’re a much weaker person than you used to be, but you still act like you did when everyone looked up to you. Despite this, you’re probably a better person than you were when you had so much power over those around you. Though you do have a strange fascination with jewels and monarchs, which lets you play in castles, but also end up leading a sort of tabloid lifestyle. You really like the Beatles, even more than you like Oasis."
Wow, that hurts.

Floor hockey. Street hockey. Two examples of non-ice hockey. There needs to be differentiation between sports.
Steve
No Hockey be idea is on ice when you think of Hockey you first think of Ice only when someone says Floor or Street does a person think of anything else. Either was the rules are the same.

Mark I just bought a Domokun on Ebay. the 8 inch one.

oh what the hell it said I was France!
You’re France!
Most people think you’re snobby, but it’s really just that you’re better than everyone else. At least you’re more loyal to the real language, the fine arts, and the fine wines than anyone else. You aren’t worth beans in a fight, unless you’re really short, but you’re so good at other things that it usually doesn’t matter. Some of your finest works were intended to be short-term projects.
Steve
Hehe well at least it got your height correct.

You’re Fiji!
"As calm, relaxed, and removed from life as they come, you’re just so chilled out, it hurts people to see you. Everyone aspires to be where you are, but most of them just can’t put their stress away. Little do they know that even you sometimes have inner turmoil and struggles! For the most part, though, it’s sun and fun for you, and that’s the way you like it. It’s just sort of hard to get things done with all that partying."
Sweet!

What the hell.. ? I’m Texas!
Texas isn’t even a god-damn country!
Castro
You’re Texas!
You aren’t really much of your own person, but everyone around you wishes you’d go away, so you might as well be independent. You’re sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power. You like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs. And sometimes you really smell. But it’s not all bad, you’re big enough to have some soft spots somewhere in all that redneck madness.
Pugs
What the fuck.
You’re Thailand!
Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it’s called for. Good enough to make people cry.

"No Hockey be idea is on ice when you think of Hockey you first think of Ice only when someone says Floor or Street does a person think of anything else. Either was the rules are the same."
I don’t think that’s entirely right. That’s like saying "band aid" and assuming it has to be the name brand variety.
When I think of hockey I think of kids playing on the street, honestly. That’s the hockey I most see. It’s the hockey happening outside my door every afternoon.
The concept of hockey is a set of rules that happen to have first been used on ice. That does not mean that hockey happening on a roller rink, in the street or somewhere else is not still hockey.

What the hell!
You’re Vatican City!
You’re pretty sure that you’re infallible in all that you do or say, and it’s hard to say whether you’re right. You have a lot of followers, most of whom will do whatever you say without question, or line up to see you ride around in your spiffy car. Religious and reserved, you have some wisdom, but also a bit much contempt for everyone around you. You’re also fabulously wealthy, no matter what you say to the contrary.
KEDDY@ SHCOOL
You’re the United Nations!
Most people think you’re ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there’s always going to be a long way to go. You’re always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.
Mark@Shittiest KeyboardEver
Haha, I think Pugsley won that round. Pheckthespacebaronthis shitty Dalhousie computer doesn’t work if you hit it with your right hand. ARG.
Steve, your diatribe on hockey was the most incomprehensible thing to ever get posted here. But you’re right. Hockey is, by default, played on ice. You don’t need to say the ice part. It’s like when someone is talking about Windows: no one says "server, datacentre, handheld, or desktop?" — you just assume desktop unless told otherwise.
Pugs
I agree at least 90% with mark on that one.
Steve
I think I was on pain killers when I wrote that.
Steve
It might not make complete sense but its all spelt right, thats gotta be good for something.
Tony

Alex
Ha ha fear me. I have somebody else’s nukes.
You’re Turkey!
You have a good deal of history behind you, both good and bad, but through it all, you’ve become a leader among your friends. You have an uncanny ability to make friends with people who hate each other, though sometimes you just hate them instead. Surprisingly fickle, you keep a good balance in your life between religion and humanism, but most people think you’re fanatical anyway. You’re Istanbul, you’re Constantinople.
Mark@Floor
Well, I guess you can’t go wrong with anything that includes a They Might Be Giants quote.
Let’s hear it for our favorite Turkey: http://www.shinyplasticbag….

Castro
And, on a side note, with that "new and improved" bat the penguin game, I got 772.3
Tony
Which one are you talking about? The bloody one or the One without physics? Because the latter is quite stupid. The whole point was to hit the penguin at the perfect angle. Now, your angle can be almost anything.
Tony
Somehow my password got re-encrypted in the password file for linkpool marky. I had to re-hash it and enter it myself.
Castro
The bloody one.
The one with the mines that launch your penguin just a little bit further.
Tony
