Where are you from?

[Ann]

Just wondering how many different countries we have here in the group :3 I'm British.

[G.G.]

I'm Canadian, but I live in the USA.

[Michael]

I come from the country that leads the world in getting killed by lawnmower accidents (at least according to this map: http://thedoghousediaries.com/large/5... )

[Jack]

USA.

[Ann]

@Michael... Is it wrong to laugh at that?

[Michael]

I think that's the only possible response!

[Carry]

I'm from the land of chocolate, waffles and French fries... tiny Belgium!

[Jessica]

I'm from Costa Rica

[G.G.]

@Carrie Now you are making me hungry for chocolate. Belgium certainly makes one of the best chocolate in the world.

Oh, and is it true that Belgians eat their french-fries with mayonnaise? :P

[Deb]

New Zealand, here (o:

[Ann]

French fries and mayonnaise? :I

So many countries :D

I want to visit you all o__o

[Kay]

USA, from one of the rectangles in the middle. xD

[J. David]

Texas, which is its own separate country from the USA, or wishes it was, if you listen to the idiot Texans who are always ending up on the news.

[[deleted user]]

I was born where time began and I now live near the Worlds End.

[Michael]

I live in Oakland, California, USA.
@Bisky, anytime you're in our neck of the woods, please do visit!
@J. David: chuckle. Weep.

[Ann]

@Anthony, the movie?

@J.David I heard that I trended on my birthday in the localised Texas Twitter feed. I think I know where my fanbase is :p

[Carl]

Born in Dubuque, Iowa on the Mississippi River. Lived in Illinois, Michigan, and now Ohio. Want to move to Montana where I can avoid humidity, and be closer to my daughter. Rockies are incredible.

What about french fries with tartare sauce? I'd do that... Tartare sauce goes with just about anything.

[G.G.]

Well, isn't tartare sauce made with mayo? :P

[Nicole]

DETROIT ROCK CITY, MI, USA

[Claire]

I was born in South Africa, now I live in Israel.

[Molly]

I'm from the USA, Michigan.

[Michael]

@Carl: my mom lived in Montana for several years. Just beautiful there.

[Ann]

Just so ya know, this is making me want to sofa surf the planet.

[G.G.]

Ok when will teleporters finally exist so we can visit everyone in the world whenever we feel like it?

Come on Inventers, move your butts can't you see we are waiting? :p

[Ann]

I would LOVE that. I would pop into random coffee shops across the world and randomly hand people screwed up notes with my twitter handle on it :p

[Fay]

In the USA. I live in Central Iowa on an acreage, but was born in Vernon County, Missouri in the Ozarks and lived there until I was fourteen on a farm.

[Dawn]

Also in USA in central Iowa. Not hard to find inspiration hiding around here. :)

Yes... we do! It's completely normal here... i don't see what's odd about it. We eat french fries with all kinds of sauces :P Ketchup, tartare, Andalous, Samorai, cocktail etc...

[Rick]

I'm Californian born and bred. I was born in Watsonville (near Santa Cruz), raised in a country community near Salinas called Prunedale (Near Monterey), went to college in Fresno, and currently live in Visalia.

And as soon as I sell enough books I want to move to Bainbridge Island in Washington...dreaming of rain, water, and always green trees...

[Michael]

I'm a native and resident of Seattle, Washington, USA. I don't often admit it but since natives are now a minority they've started hunting us for our pelts...

[Rick]

So I'd be one of those hated California invaders who hunt locals and drive up property values if I moved up there.... :-)

[Heidi]

LOL Micheal.

Born, raised and still in Washington. In a month or so I will be asking what that big bright ball in the sky is.

[Michael]

@Michael @Rick @Heidi I still live in California but my brother, my sister and my mom are all Californians who've gone up to your neck of the woods.

[Heidi]

@Michael in California: It is beautiful up here, but you have to be able to endure long periods of cold, wet and dreary. Especially if you decide to live up in the hills like I do.

[Rick]

cold and wet sounds much better that dusty and hot...

[Rick]

its the end of October and it's still in the eighties here... I can't remember the last time I've seen rain and I still have my air conditioner on...

Salinas, California is where John Steinbeck based his novel "East of Eden" correct? If so thats wickedly awesome. :)

[Char]

Pacific Northwest Washington! :D USA!

[Rick]

Yes and the Steinbeck library and learning center is in Salinas

[Char]

My post above yours says The Pacific Northwest of Washington :) I just love steinbeck a lot.

[Carl]

Michael, sounds great.

Fries are actually the only thing I eat with mayonaise.. :P From Belgium as well!

[Vanessa Eden]

I am from Kentucky. Not much goes on around here.

[Brian]

I'm in VA Beach. There's a peninsula that goes around the Chesapeake Bay that points right towards where I am. On the subject of French Fries... Chocolate Milkshake is the best thing ever to dip fries in. People look at me like I'm a wierdo whenever I do it, but that's just because they don't know how great it is!

[SteinFussel]

Germany. Bisky, couch surfers are always welcome in our home :) And it's not that far... think about it :)

[Ann]

I'll remember hehe ^-^

[Michael]

Bisky: we have a guest room and California is a third of the way around the world. Compared to the distance to Mars, that's nothing. *grin*

[Michael]

Brian, I will have to try the French fries in the chocolate milkshake. I like weird foods.

[G.G.]

It's good in chocolate milk, I don't know why it wouldn't be in a shake :P
