USA vs Australia


Its Time for another edition of 'A' vs 'B'

A few months ago, I got a message from Tom about the new myspace and how they were switching to Australia, but it was still the same myspace? Well its not. Its the little differences that matter.

USA: when someone would look at my body type they would see 6'11"/Some extra baggage and think, he's making a joke because he's not 6'11" therefore he must not have some extra baggage.
AUS: they that i am 272cm/Some extra baggage and they think, well i don't know what 272cm means but he's got some extra baggage.

USA: Favorites
AUS Favourites - thats just rediculous.

Everytime i look at the date, i have to think for a few moments, "when was this posted?" 02/01/07 Three months ago, would anyone reading this seriously second guess what day i'm talking about. Its February the 1st of 2007. But wait, because Tom decided to go down under, I just might mean the 2nd of January 2007. So if I try to read a date I feel like I'm an idiot.

So thanks, Tom. With a rearranging of letters in a country code you have made me fat, illiterate and stupid.

**EDIT** Soo, apparently it was a setting that I didn't switch. Sorry Tom. You're an OK guy afterall.

About Me

My photo
I grew up in the country with my nearest neighbor being almost a mile away. I was also the youngest in the family and the only boy. Growing up, I didn't have a lot of "playmates" so I found ways of entertaining myself. I could go outside on a nice fall Saturday (or frigid Iowa winter) and not come in until dark. My childhood is what cultivated my active imagination, or "specialness" as my mom always called it.
