Huckleberry Finn--

The city manager of the city in which I live has the last name Korhonen!

Of course, this area (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) has one of the highest concentrations of Finns in the country. We even have a Finnish language television show on Sunday mornings on the local television station in Marquette, MI.

4. FDR
5. Living-Carter. Dead-whilst I should say someone like Churchill, I'm going to go with John Curtin, Aussie PM during the war
6. Discussing the 1996 Prime Ministerial election in the back garden with my parents. My mum said she was going to vote for Howard, my dad Keating, and I asked why. I also liked the maps of the seats on election night.
7. Linked off another forum.
8. The maps, the community, and the abiklity to discuss politics with smart individuals. It was a shame I felt I needed to pretend to be an american-now is the time to "come clean"
9. Aussie rules football, Reading, games-computer, board, sporting-etc.
10. Europe-The Flooders (Netherlands) US-dont laugh-Andre. Australia-crackerjack
11.Anything groovable. ATM, i like-dont laugh-Cindi Lauper-the Love shack.
12. I'm actually a 16 year old from melbounre, australia. I'm very interested in politics, including US politics, and my subjects at school are Psych, English, English language, french, politics and International Studies. I'm sorry for decieving you all, but I thought if I pretended to be an american I'd be taken more seriously. That was probab;y the truth, but wither way, now I'm going to tell the truth. Surprise

I thought you might be an Aussie.
What part of Melbourne are you from?
---
Why Iowa though?

[hugh]

The whole PV thingie?

Port Melbourne, inner south. Y?

Iowa-because nobody suspects the Iowans. Plus I quite like it-its sort of like Gippsland, my favourite place.

[Sibboleth]

The whole PV thingie?

Yep

Port Melbourne, inner south. Y?

I've got a load of relatives in Australia (and as a result I'm interested in it). They live in Tasmania and NSW (one uncle *did* live around Melbourne for a while though)

Iowa-because nobody suspects the Iowans. Plus I quite like it-its sort of like Gippsland, my favourite place.

Gippsland... home of those giant worms?
Apparently it *does* look a bit like Iowa...

[JohnFKennedy]

muahahahahaha, I knew he was Aussie first!!! lol

[Platypus]

among other things, but yes, home of the giant worms.

they are both heavily rural. I love Gippsland because every January I go down to my uncles property there, go canoeing, 4WDing, umm...well thats about all the activity. But its heaps of fun to relax in the country.

I chose Davenport Iowa because there is a town in Tasmania called Davenport. I was thinking about Melbourne, FL but it was too obvious

BTW, Tasmania is nice-but everyone there has two heads.

Well... some probably do... but... um... er... Tasmania was the only state that swung *against* Howard last election!

You never heard...  "Cat scratch fever..." ?

Ah, my favourite Ted Nugent song. Like Angus said, brings to mind mullets and Alabama at sundown. Well, something like that. I'm paraphrasing. Anyway, I've heard of all the stuff you mentioned - never had much time for Queen, to be honest, but then I'm more into punk rock as far as 70s music is concerned... and how anyone could have lived through the 80s and never hear of Iron Maiden is simply beyond me...... (pelts tomatoes at Boss Tweed.)

My english teacher in the eleventh grade let us play an Iron Maiden album and then we discussed it with respect to what we had been studying.

Heh, it was a joke.
