What's your Inner European?
brought to you by Quizilla

What, was it the whiskey and the emerald green and the James Joyce and the "shite!"? But what about the black/deep blue/violet, and the Katerina/Alexei, and being wimpy, and goth/industrial and techno/dance, and the Cervantes and sweet... lovemaking and the California? Merde! N'est-ce pas?

Banff!

Banff
1. adj. Pertaining to, or descriptive of, that kind of facial expression which is impossible to achieve except when having a passport photograph taken.
2. n. A city in Scotland.
3. n. A city in Alberta, Canada.

I'm alternately amused and annoyed at the number of place names that turn out to have come from "first editions" in the United Kingdom. Abilene (as in Texas) is among these as well. A goodly number of them I knew of already, but I'm learning more, and more utterly obscure ones, not by reading an atlas, but by reading The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd.( Click here for more about the book if you aren't familiar with it - it's not exactly the point of this entry. )

I mean, Paris, sure. London, sure. O, the vaingloriousness of Texas (again?) and Ontario! Among other places, I'm sure.

But Banff??
