I might have burst out laughing at a few of these. I've never even heard of Fiumans before. They sound like an Autobot group. The Alsatians have three political parties. Southern Schleswig wants to secede! Russia has so many separatist movements, it has its own sub-page! And let us not forget the Celtic League, which sounds like it should be a group of Bronze-Age superheroes.

I once horrifed my brother by fantasy booking a Celtic League built around Sheamus, Neville, Finn, Becky Lynch and a gingered Paige, but then WWE went and actually created the far more irrelevant League of Nations.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Is it OK for me to be surprised at how many of those are on the West Coast of the US? I mean, I knew we had trees, but those are some trees!
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.
I was gonna say, NO, it is not okay and try to shame you, but then I read that the location and picture of the tallest tree on record is actually a secret, so I guess you get a pass.Maj wrote:Is it OK for me to be surprised at how many of those are on the West Coast of the US?

[/edit] Right, right, forgot about the ban on certain words. It's a combination of "the N-word" and "literati" and was used about a group in the Harlem Renaissance. I find it interesting.

The link still works. It can't be quoted, but the url parser seems to do its job before the censor does.Ancient History wrote:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[EDITED]
