Chocolate Starfish & The Hot Dog Flavoured Water - Limp Bizkit

This is a direct rip off of, Chicago's very own, FULL's debut album, Hot Dog Flavored Water.

Oh, and Brown Dirt Cowboy referred to the Brittish peception that the entire US west was covered in brown dirt. They also tend to think you can walk from NY to LA. One of my favorite tour routings was in 1985 when Ghost of an American Airman was scheduled to be in Cleveland on Tuesday and in Phoenix on Wednesday (they wanted me to drive) and they had no idea why I was laughing. They just don't get how freaking big this country is.

I reckon it's more of a reference to Mr. Dwight's sexuality. He's always been a 'flamboyant individual'.
I would have written "screaming Queen", but I don't want to do anything that might get the board sued for Libel.


cf the title of his love song Nikita - in the video for it, 'Nikita' is a beautiful Russian lady Border guard.

In Russia of course, 'Nikita' is a diminutive form of the man's name 'Nikolai' (as in 'Kruschev').
It is not a woman's name.

Now, I'm not saying it'd be a short trip or anything, but why couldn't you?

Would you fall off the edge of the World somewhere around Kansas...


...or does that only happen when you cross the Mason-Dixon line?

Of course we don't - our entire island archipelago only covers an area 'slightly smaller than Oregon'.

Show us a large area of flat land, and we get totally confused by it:

We are used to, and like, hills and the Sea (well, OK, I don't like the Sea, but you get my point).

Deprive us of those reference points, and our CPU's flash up an error message that says

Input Error #Σ452110000A - Landscape Does Not Compute.

Which is why some of us think you could drive 2000 miles in one day.

Then again, given that your roads are straight and empty, if you had a decent European car (Merc, BMW, Audi, Bentley, Jag, Rolls-Royce, etc), you could drive 2000 miles in one day - it's only your liking for Detroit Iron that holds you back.

I remember helping some British tourists outside of Santa Fe find some hot springs. Apparently, a 50 mile drive in which you go through only two towns of consequence and a 1/2 mile hike into the forest is mind-blowing.

And Jesus, do German tourists love the desert. And Jesus, are they annoying.

Yep - our country is one of the most densely-populated places in the World.
(In both meanings :( )

If you tried to drive 50 miles where I live, you'd have to pass through a couple of major conurbations and several small towns.

Oh, and on the subject of the Germans, the Swiss are starting to get annoyed with them now (http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2344776.ece), because lots of them hop over the border to work, and their natural 'self-confidence' is very much at odds with the more modest Swiss temperament.

The Germans around Santa Fe just sucked at camping:
