I knew there was some reason I loved spicy food, dark haired women, and pork so much



You're Spain!
You like rain on the plain, as well as interesting architecture and a diverse number of races and religions. You like to explore a lot, but sailing, especially in large groups, never really seems to work out for you. Beware of pirates and dictators bearing bombs. And for heavens' sake, stop running around bulls! It's just not safe!
Take the Country Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid
That's right I'm Spain. I am the country that brought you this:
And this:
And unfortunately this:
I also brought you these two:

They are the director and star of:

Which is easily one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.
And don't forget that the guy who helped change art forever is from Spain.

I used to have a poster of this Picasso painting hanging up in my dorm room in college. Some people would react so violently to it that is made me laugh. They hated it that it was different, which tells you a lot about the asses I went to college with.
Sadly though, even though I am such a great country I still manage to oppress and persecute a group of people. I am sorry and I will try to treat the Basque peoples better in the future, I promise.
Maybe we'll sit down and have a nice bowl of gazpacho together.
And then after that we'll go and hit on Ms. Cruz. Hey, it could happen, after all if Tom Cruise can get her, we should be able to snare her with no problem.

I know she's no Salma Hayek, but she's pretty darn cute.

Hat tip for the country quiz goes to Texas Oasis.

Hail fellow Spaniard! Same here.

[groans] I'm the Sudan.

Every time you get a headache, you reach for some aspirin, only to realize that someone destroyed it. That's just how things are going for you right now... it's hard to eat, hard to sleep, hard to not have a headache. You try to relax, but people always jump on you about something that doesn't make sense. If you were a goat, you'd be a Nubian.

And that fact that all it makes sense is the scariest of all.

Spain also gave the world the Spanish Inquisition.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

Bubs-Hola!

JD-Tough break kid. We all can't be super cool Eurpoean countries.

Dr. Z-You keep that up and you'll get the comfy chair!

I'm Thailand: Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

I love gazpacho. I make one helluva great pot of it, too.

I was hoping for Spain, but I'm Cyprus. I am getting that it is my nature to be displeased with my conflicted state(hood).

Gawd, that's depressing. I'm Cyprus.

The Basque people that I have met could drink Hunter S. Thompson under a table by noon and keep at it until the wee hours of the following day.

Give the Basque their freedom, but do NOT throw them a kegger.

Chris Hinrichs said...

I, too, am Spain. It's fitting as Spain is my favorite of the European countries I visited. The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is phenomenal.

Fran said...

I loves me some Spain... SpainIam! I have had the good fortune to visit there 3 times and a 4th will take place in September, as we take our delayed honeymoon in Barcelona.

Pass the gazpacho, the vino tinto and the afternoon siesta. I am ready for it all.

Yes- there was the Inquisition - which as a Catholic I am horrifed about. Those were the worst years in Spain after about 700 of Muslim Enlightenment.

And then that Franco. At least as despots go, he knew it was over and handed it back to Juan Carlos who turned it into a democracy of sorts. There are worse places.

Adios amigos.

Evil Spock said...

Evil Spock is France!

Most people thinks Evil Spock is snobby, but it's really just that Evil Spock is better than everyone else. At least Evil Spock is more loyal to the real language, the fine arts, and the fine wines than anyone else. Evil Spock isn't worth beans in a fight, unless you're really short, but Evil Spock is good at other things that it usually doesn't matter. Some of Evil Spock's finest works were intended to be short-term projects, like the blog!

Jess Wundrun said...

Oh. and I am Canada. Oh, Canada!

Likable and dorky or something like that.

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

Beth-Hmm, I love Thai food. Now I'm jealous I'm not Thailand.

Freida-See my comment on your blog, being Cyprus rocks.

Jess-I'll try not to out drink a Basque as long as they feed me good food.

Chris-Yay! Me, you, and Bubs, that's quite a team.

Fran-I love the Spanish wines as well. Maybe a little too much.

Evil Spock-I love the French actresses and the food, so you can't be all bad.


Jess-Canada is the land of enchantment.

This test is rigged!

I'm Bangladesh:

Everyone else keeps eating your food, and as a result it seems like you're starving all the time. Your life is just flooded with problems, and you're pretty sure that everything would be easier if half the people you knew just went away. Unfortunately, they're hungry too, so they might go away in a way you don't want. George Harrison's music becoming wildly popular may be your only hope, but even he's gone away now.

Hello, Cyprus here.

But I'm going to Spain in March- want me to bring you back a woman? Or some jamon? (ham, for you non-spanish pork lovers)

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

PJ-You poor thing, nobody wants to be Bangladesh.

Whiskey-Cyprus is the clitoris of Europe. Can you bring me a woman made of ham? Or at the very least the chick with the big nose who was in all those early Almodovar movies.

Curator of ancient mystical secrets, my life on the surface is fairly
typical these days. Though I am in denial about more things than most people. Nevertheless, I'm trying to convince people that I'm safe despite my more volatile and unstable times that seem to be behind me. I like cats a whole lot.

Yes, friends, I am Egypt!

Phydeaux-Not tonight, I just got my pyramid.
