The NAME THAT CITY game.

[Ecthy]

As I was saying earlier, no chance to grasp a cultural reference from the west.

It must feel weird to be among culturally alike people as a sole alien. Do you have any culture at all?

Phoenix of course.

I'm willing to accept this as irony coz Colon isn't brown people.

It's not like anyone could know the exact Stanley quote with no audio recording around. You merely changed the tense and now you claim you know any better?

Since all of you was too stupid to guess SEATTLE correctly I shall do some less BORING (Spiff)

edit: bollocks to this

I've actually been to that city twice. I should have looked closer.

Pike Place Market

(sorry if you don't understand that reference)

Oh, it was Seattle?

Ah he seems to be of that well-off, curry-eating and elephant riding caste in Indian society.

What was actually said has nothing to do with it. What matters is what's contained in the relevant cultural output, in this case the literature:

"As I advanced slowly toward him I noticed he was pale, looked wearied, had a gray beard, wore a bluish cap with a faded gold braid round it, had on a red-sleeved waistcoat, and a pair of gray tweed trousers. I would have run to him, only I was a coward in the presence of such a mob – would have embraced him, only, he being an Englishman, I did not know how he would receive me. So I did what cowardice and false pride suggested was the best thing – walked deliberately to him, took off my hat, and said:

'Dr. Livingstone, I presume?'

"Yes", said he, with a kind smile, lifting his cap slightly.

Nerd

LordShiva, do you know what a nerd is? Are brown people familiar with this western cultural concept?

Actually, when you said it, I didn't know what it meant, so I googled "nerd" and got this:

Funny, I got the same pic when I googled "incarnation of western cultural superiority" the other day

Ah, yes, the "incarnation of western cultural superiority." A true Aryan specimen

I wish the photographer would have aimed a bit higher, the girl in the back seems cute.
