Spanish aren't Mexican, though, and if the Galecians were celtic then they weren't hispanican. So how are they part Mexican? If anything, you could say the Mexicans are part Irish.

a majority are celebrated by the majority as an excuse to excessively eat and drink.

itralians, mexicans, greeks - its all the same! (i was kidding)

here: "irish times" and "the irish are not celts but galicians". i always wondered where the blonde ones came from, part of my family's ancestry is galician

the term "hispanic" is bullshit

Totally awesome!



and btw, half of the Irish descent from Vikings.... dem pillagin' and lootin' village after village...

[Lex Diamonds]

Yep. My name comes from the Viking for "loch dweller" or "people of the small river valleys". This means my descendants were badasses who got tired of their shitty rivers and decided to go chill on that nice little island away from all the drama in Europe.

[Schmeltz]

^Just how many descendants do you have, at the tender age of 20?

so wait a min... I'm half Swedish - does that make me an Irish Viking?! *scratches head* hmmmm I've been told I come from this exotic place they call Caucasia. I would like to visit someday. I think most whiteys in the states suffer some form of identity crisis.

I'm pretty sure the Caucasus mountains are where you come from then, somewhere near Russia.

You're the descendent of human beings that didn't get annihilated by the ice age.

australians are a curious case, but i'm drinking beer at my desk surrounded by proofs and my eyes are bleeding looking at indesign all day, so i'm not gonna get in to it.

Ahhh aussie dry humour. There's nothing like it.

case in point - a friend in sydney was telling me just 3 days ago he was on the bus that morning and the most stereotypical amercian tourist compete with camera strung around neck got on and says to the driver, 'hello, does this bus go to the outback??'

Without blinking the driver says to him 'well mate, you know the distance between LA and new york? well our outback is bigger than that. Exactly which part of the outback were you hoping to get to?'

The american said 'uhhhhh.... uluru?'

The bus driver goes 'oohhhh sure matey!!!! just around the corner! 2 blocks away!' and rolls his eyes. The tourist doesnt catch on and happily sits down. The rest of the bus were sniggering. It took the tourist about 30 mins to catch on that yes, getting to uluru might be a bit more difficult that jumping on a sydney metro bus. (try a 6 hour flight followed by an 8 hour drive).

I heart australia

three or four americans patiently told this person the right way to get there.

when am i supposed to laugh?

[Kid Presentable]

Damn, Mike. Proud of a bus driver = way too proud.

[Lex Diamonds]

That bus driver sounds like a cunt anyway. Why wouldn't you just tell the dude that he couldn't get there by bus? Poor guy.

[mikizee]

Well isn't this board full of negative nancys.

You all need to get laid.

[Tzar]

in mik's defence, i would of laughed if i was there too.

because the guy was clearly a fucking idiot and needed to be ridiculed. Its like getting on a bus at JFK airport and asking 'does this bus go to the wild west?'

well the bus could take you to will smith's house, which is close enough

[Freebasser]

I thought it was funny, but then again, I get my kicks out of human misery and suffering
