I am really confused.

I voted North America, as I assumed you meant currently and not originally. ;)

(I'm fairly sure most people on jolt are Europeans... )

The human body I'm currently inhabiting was born in the USA, but I originally came from a planet who's name cannot be conveyed in human language because my people communicate with a combination of chemical messages and body language. Sorry.

I am really confused.

It'll pass...

Now cut that out, and stop drinking so much Jack Daniels! :D

I am from my mothers' uterus.

That uterus is in Scotland.

Now cut that out, and stop drinking so much Jack Daniels! :D
I boycott Jack Daniels. Jim Beam for me please.

I boycott Jack Daniels.

Why?

Why?
It's a long story... why do you think "deleted" is in his name? :D

Why?
Jack used to be 90 proof. Then the price went up and the proof dropped to 86. Then the proof dropped once again to 80. Why should I pay more for a product that's been watered down from the original recipie? I have joined Modern Drunkard magazine in their boycott of Jack Daniels and have emailed the CEO. His response was as unsatisfying as his bourbon.

I am really confused.

North America --> United States of "You Wish You Could Be As Cool As We Are!" America --> Tennessee --> Nashville --> Hip area near Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, Centennial Park, downtown area... just off West End.

I see.

I just refuse to buy any drink made by people who can't spell.

It's spelt "Whisky", as in w-h-i-s-k-y.

No e involved.

i think most people here are from europe, but i think that's just because when i don't know where someone is from i just assume they're brittish for some reason.

(I'm fairly sure most people on jolt are Europeans... )

I thought so too because I've been reading a lot of threads and I am MISSING a lot of the references...

:headbang: stupid stupid

Hey! For now, everyone is from North America or Europe... :eek:

i think most people here are from europe, but i think that's just because when i don't know where someone is from i just assume they're brittish for some reason.
No, it's because of the .co.uk, meaning the surver is in Britain.

Look at the location, I'm in the second best place ever.

With an 'e' or without, I'll take it anyway it comes. Either way you're cutting off two countries with some really good products. (Let's see...without moving from my chair I can see bottles of Laphroaig, Glenlivet, Black Bush, Wild Turkey, and Knob Creek...the Crown Royal is in another room...)




BTW, it's spelled s-p-e-l-l-e-d...spelt is a grain. ;)

Smart Arse!

BTW, the best whisky is Royal Salute.

Glenmorangie is a good second.

Is it wrong that I'm only 16?

Smart Arse!

I try!

You're never too young to start enjoying a quality product, right?

I am really confused.
Most people are currently from Asia. But they all come from African ancestor.

Damn filthy apes if you ask me. Can't stand them.

Really? I love them. Their bodies make excellent hosts for an adult of my species. And one obese human can provide enough food for several dozen of our larva.

I don't understand. Where are most people here FROM as in ethnicity or descent or LIVE IN?

I have half a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue label left.

Also,an unopened bottle of Balvenie I am looking foward to.

I challenge that! *runs off to find dictionary*

Well, I can't find my 2003 Webster's 3rd, but my 1989 Random House 2nd says that the standard spelling is indeed whiskey, with whisky being an acceptable alternate spelling especially used for Scotch and Canadian varieties.

I find spelt bread too dry for sandwiches, but otherwise delicious.

I'm from North America ... And I wish I were in Canada, but I'm in the lame-ass USA. *Sigh*

Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=whiskey) says the same thing as your Random House dictionary.

And "spelt" is an acceptable past tense and past participle of "spell (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=spell)". Click the link and look at the definition yourself. You'll have to scroll half-way down the page to find the "spell" which has to do with words, but it's there.

You don't need a dictionary, just ask your local friendly drunk. Whisky is the accepted spelling for Scotch and Canadian beverages, whereas Whiskey is the accepted spelling for those that come from America and Ireland.

Either way you spell it, though, whisk(e)y is the sweet, golden nectar of the gods. A truly sublime melding of earth and water, fit for the homes of king and pauper alike.

People here are from all over the world. I'd say most are European, Australian, or American, though.

OK. I am from South America (In the sense that I live there) Who are the others?

Tá bom então. Eu estou na America do Sul, na medida que eu moro lá. Quem são os outros?

What about me? I'm from Ganymede (in the sense that I live there), although I was really born as the result of a scientific experiment gone wrong, today known as the Big Bang. (Guess what happened due to that experiment. :D) Although right now, I'm writing this from North Carolina, USA, North America, Earth, Sol Sytem... you know... not too far from where Frisbeeteria lives, or used to live (not too sure which). So what do I say?

you mispelt Australia! how could you do that!

Wouldn't Oceania be more accurate, btw?

I'm from Norway, the best country in the world... in cross-country skiing!

Yeah, Drunk Commies, what the hell? Obese adults are full of cholesterol and bad fats. That's not good for larvae.

No, I'm not a racist. That would mean that I can't stand only a few races of human at most, instead of the whole species. And pretty much all that branch of the mammalia phylum. To be honest, vertebrates are not my cup of tea.

And I don't hate them. That would mean I consider them somewhat important.

heh, none of the above.

Actually, the theory of common ancestory is currently losing out to multiple-evolution. For example, the "Hobbits" of Indonesia. There's also proof of at least some racial mixing with Cromagnons.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_3960000/newsid_3960800/3960879.stm

I think this poll should have been check boxed...

Australia! Just so you know, I do have that disgusting accent but I don't ever say 'mate'.

Actually, the theory of common ancestory is currently losing out to multiple-evolution. For example, the "Hobbits" of Indonesia. There's also proof of at least some racial mixing with Cromagnons.

But the "hobbits" (damn! I hate that name!) is actually an offshoot of Homo Erectus, a parallel branch not an ancestor to modern man. They were actually displaced by Sapiens Sapiens when they got to the island. Cro-Magnon is already Sapiens Sapiens.

Erectus was very succesful and developed several branches that dispersed across the world, including Sapiens Neanderthalensis and Sapiens Sapiens, the first evolved in Europe and the second in Africa, as far as we can tell. Sapiens Sapiens is modern man and walked out of Africa about 100,000 years ago (EDIT: Sorry, meant to say evolved about 100,000 y.a. and walked out of Africa some 60-70,000 y.a.) displacing all the other Homo species (I think they ate them).

I think that the tracing of mythocondrial DNA has given the theory of common ancestry a very strong backing.

And for anyone who hasn't seen it, weirdnj.com is a fun site. ;) I read an actual book about some of the legends of NJ -- go, educate yourselves on my western neighbor. It's pretty cool.

(PS Gangs of New York? Not a badass movie?) ;)

bah southampton pwns you all - we're like the san francisco of hampshire ;)


i mean who needs the Golden Gate Bridge when you have the Totton Toll Bridge :rolleyes:

Hiking into the pine barrens as a kid and confronting the fear of a supernatural monster while dodging the crazy pineys who like to shoot outsiders that tresspass on their property toughens us up.

Where are most people here from?. last year a poll reusult was that most were from the US...

far behind were UK, Canada, Australia. (not surprisingly...english speaking countries).

Absolutely.
Always thoughtso, and Penn & Teller's Bullshit! totally confirmed it for me.

You know, I could have answered that poll with two choices. I was born in Asia but I reside in Oceania.

I am really confused.
Since it says: "Where are you from?" and not "Where do you live?", I say Europe.

The University is nice... but the city isn't exactly a fun place to be. Not much going on around there and way too many skinheads. But it's close to Berlin, so when I have time I tend to spend my weekends with my little siblings.

I see.

I just refuse to buy any drink made by people who can't spell.

You say "spelt," I say "spelled." Let's call the whole thing off. ;)

Spelling is relative, I find. If the drink was made in Scotland or Canada, "whisky" is indeed the correct spelling. If it was made in Ireland or the U.S., "whiskey" would be correct.

Wouldn't Oceania be more accurate, btw?

I'm from Norway, the best country in the world... in cross-country skiing!

Depends if they are trying to piss off the New Zealanders.
They hate being confused with Australians. It's like Canadians and Americans

lol, waves across the ditch :p (from Aust.)

i'm an aussie mate, but i'm not a steve irwin (thank god)

I'm from Africa. And just to clarify. No, we don't have elephants in our backyards, some of us are blond, and we only walk around half-naked after a night of Jack.

I'm from my mothers uterus but I'm originally from my fathers balls.

Australia! Just so you know, I do have that disgusting accent but I don't ever say 'mate'.

Why do you find our accent disgusting?

Oh and I am from Australia to, incase you couldn’t guess :p

I'm from my mothers uterus but I'm originally from my fathers balls.

You don't say.....

I'm from Africa. And just to clarify. No, we don't have elephants in our backyards, some of us are blond, and we only walk around half-naked after a night of Jack.

Saf then? Or Zimbabwe (poor you)?

Oh man, if there is one accent in the world that is impossible to copy, Afrikaaners take the cake.

Yeah, someone mentioned Oceania - definately the coolest continent/group name. And for the record, I think it sucks the n00blet nations get dumped in 'The Pacific' when they join. What is Max trying to say huh?

Anybody from Brazil, as me??

Australia! Just so you know, I do have that disgusting accent but I don't ever say 'mate'.

i don't say mate or have the accent. you should loose the accent or say mate. stuck halfway is not good.

None of the above.

Zomg!

Greetings! I hail from Burnaby, BC (in Canada, right by Vancouver) currently, however I was born in Kelowna (Central BC) and grew up in Powell River (short trip north of Vancouver, right by Texada Island, which is well known for a certain herb that grows naturally there, and no, I don't smoke weed)

C'mon mate, It ain't ocker to not say mate, bloke or sheila. It's traditional. Any way the only bad accent is if people can not understand you, or South Africans. That's a weird accent

No human has been born in Antartica. At least, none for at least the past few thousand years. ;)

I think the Chileans had someone being born there in case they needed something to reinforce their claim on Antartica later. I'm not sure, will have to find out more.

EDIT: I was wrong. Not a Chilean, but Argentinean:
Emilio Marcos Palma was the first person born in Antarctica (Base Esperanza) in 1978, his parents being sent there along with seven other families.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antartica

I haven't been able to find more, sadly.
