You probably should have been a bit more specific, here.  Curtis sometimes
misses out on subtleties.

Curtis, a map of Australia, laid over a map of the U.S. drawn at the same
scale, will show you that Australia doesn't lack much being as large as the
continental U.S.  

ObMonoSyllabism: It's a great big place.

Now if you were posting from Canada (the second largest country in the world,
geographically speaking), then you might have a leg to stand on.  Actually,
now that the Soviet Union is in bite-sized pieces, Canada may have a brand

If you had ever been to South Florida, Cindy, you would
have never even considered asking this question.

There are three kinds of people in South Florida:

(1) Inbred swamp rednecks.

(2) Personal injury lawyers, timeshare salesmen, farm-team
    actors, snow moguls, ex-Cuban aristocrats, etc.

(3) Senile snowbirds from Queens.

Does that answer your question?

Being American is not a matter of race, it's a matter of choosing your

Imagine being called 'clint flicker'.

Not really.  In fact, a major !Peeve is (are?) the sleep-deprivation-augmented-
by-caffeine hallucinations, you know, the ones which kick in after the sixth
cup of coffee, after getting 4 hours of sleep in the last 3 days?  Some truly
amazing stuff.

MegaBonzoMajorSuperTurboPeeve:  Those stupid cartop carriers that Sears
sells.  They're called "X-Cargo" with a cutsie picture of a snail on them.
Not in itself peavefull, but here's the good part:

They come unassembled.  Not normally a problem.  My sister needed help putting
it together, so I volunteered ((sucker!!!!)).  The instructions <feh!> are on
one sheet, with one diagram.  Each step refers to "figure 1", which is an
exploded diagram of dubious quality and clarity.

Of course, the hardware with the stupid thing is useless as well.  They included
(the wrong quantity of) bolts, washers, and those nylon locking nuts.  The    
problem is, they used bolts with slotted heads, instead of hex heads.  Because
of the nylon nuts, you need to exert a LOT of force to tighten the screws.
Because of the force, the screwdriver slips out of the head of the screw, and
it gets worse from there.

The obvious solution to that would be to use hex-head screws, but they must cost
an extra $5.00 per carload, so they don't.  Once you get the screws in, it
turns out that the amount of sealing gasket type stuff they give you for around
the perimeter of it is short by about 2 feet.  Then it turns out that they
gave us 3 of one type of hinge part, and one of the other.  Not too good.
The brackets for the nylon straps had slots in them for said straps, but the
slots were 1/8" too narrow for them.

By the time this piece of sh*t was completed, my sister and I were snapping
at each other just like when we were "growing up".

BonusPeeve:  Everything that Sears sells.

Peeve: The way the American Indians (or Native Americans, or Aboriginal
Americans, or whatever you wanna call them) have been treated since the
day they discovered the Pilgrims.  Yes, yes, I know that I've talked about
being of Scots descent, but like most Americans whose families have been in
this country for generations, I'm yer basic mongrel. My name is Scottish,
my great grandmother was a Cherokee, my grandmother was first-generation
English, my mother's side of the family is Irish.

!Peeve: I found out an an EEOC seminar that one can choose one's own race
on the form that they make you fill out.  My manager pointed out that there
was one person in his group who had enough Cherokee Indian in him to qualify
for educational assistance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and asked if
that made him a native American.  The answer was "if he wants to be, then
he is".  I immediately changed my status, and am now a minority.

like (I chose you because you have such an ethnic-sounding surname).
