Haha!
I'm off to bed guys.
Tomorrow is my last night, and I go early on Sunday morning. I believe I'll get 1-2 hours a day on a computer, maybe a few days a week. It'll be monitored though so I may seem out of sorts
Sweet dreams all

Wait, Snake from MGS is Australian? Link or it didn't happen.
Virgi, may your dreams be orange, green and gold. Until our next meeting.

Oooo, got a pic of Lady Snake? And that sounds more like a grownup comic, not some kid getting in to all kinds of lark.
Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I had to chuckle a little about us Americans finding her "two lumps" offensive.
See ya bar, I go off to my doom (aka family reunion).

Heaven's to Murgatroid.

Two orders of business:
1 - Get me a Dew. Fast.
2 - I only speak Merca, cuz I live in Merca. You Austrians don't know nothing about talking right. You say "mate".

Why should an American speak anything other than American?
I have friends from China who travel internationally and get angry if the locals don't speak English- they spent a lot of time learning English because it is the "International Language."
Don't get me wrong- I love languages, and I can speak a few to one degree or another. If Chinese were suddenly the "International Language" it would be very good for me financially- my Chinese is weak at the moment, as I haven't spoken it much in the last ten years, but still...
Unfortunately for my pocketbook English is the lingua franca of our day. From a cost/benefit perspective it is hard to see why a native English speaker ought to learn another language. I say that as a native English speaker who can get around in several.

Yeah, I'd agree with this. I spoke a romance language in my day-to-day life as a kid, and I have lived in majority Spanish-speaking neighborhoods in the US, so I can read and understand Spanish to some degree. But I don't speak Spanish at all. I should.
Just as everyone else in the world is going to have to learn English, since it is the "International Language," Americans should really learn Spanish (and Spanish-speaking immigrants to the US might also think about learning English.) But Anglo-Americans are not famous for their ability to learn languages, so I won't hold my breath on that one.
