Heh heh. It is funny at first, but can anybody think of a better use for thier taxes? Bravo I say!

first curry house in space, so there will be one on mars when the yanks land

yanks dont eat curry like we do.

I hear the term 'Yanks'.

On the contrary, there are only a few, if that, true yanks on this board. Most of us live in parts of the United States other than the New England and Mid-Atlantic States like massacusetts and New York. For example: Stinger and I live in Ohio, a part of the midwestern states. In the Midwest the states are known by the mascot of their largest college football team. Therefore, Ohioans are known as Buckeyes (Bucks for short). I don't care what you call us, just be aware that not all Americans take being called a 'Yank' as lightly as I did. Mets fans especially.

This has been another SpamSightful momnt brought to you by Eh_Steve.

Indian Space Program(me? why?)? It sounds like there can become a large space free-for-all. This poses a question, where is Great Britain in this space race? All of these left developed countries are outdoing you. Time for a British Invasion.. of space.

@Taw,

You mean that creamy toned down goldish colored melange that Brits use? No, I guess we don't eat that kind of curry.

Actually, the pride of place in flame-thrower intensity (I hesitate to use the word "quality" food for many years here has been reserved for all manner of chili's. Into this culinary world, the "Pako-Hindi" cuisine slowly has started its advance into the American palate-consciousness. But extremely spicy food is nothing new. The Habanero pepper already has been a feature of many different forms of gastronomical abuse for at least a decade or two.

The Vindaloos and other super spicy/hot dishes now available in New York are just another avenue for food-masochists to prove their mettle along side the Thai, Mexican and chili purveyors.

@Eh_Steve: What are Californians called?

Its really wierd that India can afford to have a space programme while its people are starving.

1/ Britain's national dish is curry and don't you forget it. None of that foreign muck for us

2/ India has a space programme but where do you think all the astronauts are from? Bradford. All those taxi firms are actually multi-linked satellite relay stations. The ISS is going to have a late-shop

@Blaze - Californians? I dunno, rich maybe?
Just kidding, but I'm not sure. This is the disadvantage of being from the East, East and West just don't communicate well. At least not West and Midwest.

aren't Californians just known collectively as airheads?

note - I like California, it's warm and sunny and pretty.

damn strait we will colonize mars fisrt.....i predict that it will be exactly like what happened more than 200 years ago....then we will call them fags lol


this is my world; it goes round and round and round
The wolfy types like a cow

Well, the more chauvinistic types in the East refer to California as "La-La land" or for those even more disdainful, "Land of Nuts and Fruits." But I know no nickname, per se, for a Californian. You can't call them after a favored college sports team as there are several very large favored institutions with team names like Golden Bears, Bruins, Cardinal, Aztecs and (my sniggering favorite) Trojans.

"Airhead" doesn't really fit as well as one might think ... although it is rather apropos for some certain kinds of stereotypical girls from there.

For the moment, however, the head of State, Arnold Schwarzenneger, is nicknamed the "Governator," if that helps.

Blaze, you count as a multicitizen!!
What would you call a British guy from Luton with Californian like skin tan (permenantly!) who talks with a mix between Yorkshire, Harpenden and america??!

Also, how come wotever you post on a thread it always diverts to another subject that is totally non related within the first 10-15 posts????!!! It's madnessss!
