"The rules of a single madman are destiny to multitudes." As penance, Ted should donate his T-Bird to Frank's Auto Trade-Up thread.

[Cmount76]

Since Ted is donating his car to the ultimate trade up and Frank is accepting his donation and response of Greece... I have been to Greece. However, before I got there, I spent some quality time in Italy.

I think I know what has happened. Because Frank refused to oversee this thread in jack-booted style, it has been left somewhat open to interpretation.

Ted has simply assumed that because the Greeks, at the time of their utmost power, controlled a wide swath of Asia as well as the Helenistic world, that Jordan and Greece WERE the same country, as they were under the same control.

It's an understandable mistake, and I'm happy to first-assist Frank here

Well in the time it took me to write that out someone moved things further, so I will continue this in the spirit of Frank's Yugo.

Italy > I'll go Iceland.

I also have no idea how to post a picture. I'm a luddite. But picture Lord-of-the-Rings geography and women who are supposed to be hot and blonde, but are not.

Just got back from Iceland myself. Definite LOTR scenery and wide open spaces between towns. So will see Iceland and raise you Spain. Spaghetti Western scenery and actual beautiful women - especially in Zamora for some reason...

[frankbmd]

From past experience, trust me, all rules are considered optional by Ted.

The same leniency will not be granted to others.

Where are the pictures?

Corporal Boil's assistance is appreciated to facilitate moving forward. My updates may be infrequent for several days, but the list in post #1 will be maintained.

[frankbmd]

Dupe erased.

[Griffins]

I've been to Spain, and then on to Morocco

Hey guys,

I did not violate Frank's "rules". And, Tony here has given us a history lesson.

2300 years ago, the Greeks occupied Asia Minor, of which Jordan was part of.

In fact, my parents were born in Asia Minor in the Greek town of Smyrna.

[Corporal Lance Boil]

Wow, Smyrna! I had to look that up. Now in Turkey, per Wikipedia.

Since we're on Morocco, which I have been to, I will swing it back "our way" and say Jamaica. I also vow to figure out how to scan, and post pictures. When I was in Jamaica, at age 14?15? I thought it would be cool to have my hair braided and those little beads put in them.

I'm not sure you want to see those pictures. Anyway, Jah Rastafari!

[gregr2]

Although Egypt has already been mentioned, someone stated this thread needed more pictures. These I took in Egypt in October 1980.

I'm the skinny kid on the horse.

Jeez,

first the USSR becoming the "Stan" brothers.

Then Greenland is really just Denmark without Copenhagen

Georgia used to be a state north of Florida, now it's a country north of Somalia.

Have you been to Yugoslavia? You thought so, but since it doesn't exist anymore you say you now have been to Croatia, before it even existed. Really???

And lest we not forget Denny went to Hawaii and thought it was a foreign country.

So if Jordan was part of Greece, how many countries were just Byzantine?

If I owe Ted an apology, it is offered.

Being the umpire in this game will continue until someone in the stands starts yelling, "Kill the Umo".
