Better than the 1991 version, star lover.

This part cracked me up:

There is no doubt that creating this Republic in the southern region in Yugoslavia and including "Macedonia" in its name was deliberate with the main intention of laying claim to the region of ancient Macedonia of the northern province of Greece. Particularly, what Tito and his Communist allies wanted was the city of Thessaloniki with its lucrative warm water port.

I have to laugh, as the Macedonians are so absorbed in their troubles with the Albanian refugees, the last thing they're going to be doing is laying claim to anything else. The 2006 world is far different from 1944. Just as messy, though.

I can imagine, but the Greeks are pretty pissed anyway. "Macedonia is Greece!"

I was chuckling when I read that part too, about Thessaloniki being such a prize to be claimed. I've been living here 5 years and I still don't understand what all the fuss is about.

I visited my sister a few years ago while she was taking a semester to study in Greece. We couldn't figure out what was the worst answer to give people when they asked where we were from. This was soon after America invaded Iraq, so telling them we were American didn't go over well. Telling them we were Macedonian made them think we were Greek-Americans and they'd be all happy until we explained which Macedonia we meant...sigh. They still allowed us on the island beaches, though.

The police were probably looking at you funny, with itchy trigger fingers on those oh-so friendly looking uzis they've got. Ah, Greek hospitality.

In the good old days, Greek hospitality meant plenty of pretty slaves to service you.

And where, pray tell, did you happen upon that tidbit of information?

The crazy cab drivers in Athens scared us most, I think. First time I'd ever been in a taxi where the driver stopped to pick up additional passengers when we were in the car.

I hate when that happens!

Welcome back, LadyJ.

Now get writing. You do good smut.

Any history buff would know that, darling.

 

[Aurora Black]

Have we met?

Thanks, Rob!

I'm hoping that resuming my former self will get the words flowing again.

*chuckles* I'm sorry, but I can't help thinking about that Anonymous guy posted to you before. In Jett's thread, remember?

"Boning your hole, telling you I'm boning it..."

 

[JackHarrison]

Have we met?

No, love. It's just a figure of speech. A colloquialism. An old British term, not necessarily indicative of romantic interest.

ROFL - yes, THAT guy

"You do not want the cock to end..."

Smooth, aren't you?

Oh my god...

 

[JackHarrison]

Thank. I am just rather Anglophile, I am afraid. I am not technically British, but I will not say what my nationality really is. So, assuming a British persona works for now. Not that I am ashamed of my native country, but it is a ship of state with a corrupt and heavy-handed captain.

 

[LadyJeanne]

Oh my god...

"I will turn you when I am ready to seed.
I will hold the shaft just off your awaiting lips and
I will come over and over onto your face and hanging breasts."

At least he put some thought into it.

So's the US. Join the party.

Ah, yes. George W. Bush, pseudo-Southern scion of New England Yankee gentry. A man with plenty of connections to cover up when he buggers up.
