The basic idea is from The Shining Wizard but whereas he wanted countries I'm going to use continents since we can only have 20 options.

So...where ya from.

I'm from the US so I am a North American

Same here.

North American. If there's one thing that pleasantly surprised me about this forum, it's that there are people from all different necks of the world.

Cincinnati, Ohio transplanted to Southern Wisconsin in 91. Been back and forth a plethora of times since then, and I had a mucho awesome road trip in 99-2000 that included every state save Hawaii and Alaska....but I call Wisconsin home now and think everyone should. Don't hate appreciate....Wisconsin rocks....I LOVE WISCONSIN!!

Now if they only vote

I grew up in NYC, went to college in Virginia, and since then have divided my time (for work) between Wisconsin, Chicago, Indiana and Ohio. Currently living in Cincy.

Moovy1...where in Wisconsin are you?

And who's the wise guy who's from Antarctica...do we have penguins here

I'm a United States American. Specifically from Wisconsin.

I'm from the same town as "Titanic" lead Jack Dawson, "Annie Hall" lead charactor, uh, Annie Hall, and (it turns out) Dr. Jennifer Keller, on the TV series "Stargate Atlantis"

Yet another vote for North America, though this one comes with an explanation.

I live in Trinidad & Tobago which is less than 6 miles from Venezuela and so, South America. Remember how Palin joked that she could see Putin? Well, from here you can actually see Venezuela, and if you're really lucky you might spot good ole Hugo Chavez. But, even though I reside in South America's butt-hole, my country is considered to be part of the continent of North America. Weird, huh?

Dude...that road trip does sound sweet. Wisconsin seems to be the popular choice so far. I wonder what it is about James Berardinelli that so appeals to Wisconsin-ites?

Hey, when you leave it as a choice, some people are going to be compelled to mess with the results.

Yeah...but it would be cool if there was a penguin as a member here

Anyone know if we have (had) anyone from Africa? I can think of at least one person who used to post here from each of the 0 vote continents.

I'm from Iceland.

so Ciaccosson or Ciaccodottir?

ON, Canada...drifting amongst Waterloo, Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph

I'm pretty sure i'm not the only Australian here.

Hi Shade,

I'm living south of Madison, west of Janesville, east of New Glarus, north of Brodhead.

What part of Cincy are you in? Hopefully, it's within walking distance of a Larosa's, Skyline, or Frisch's Big Boy.

I dunno Ed that's a good question. They say we're a 'progressive' state. Whatever that means. We've recently progressed to mandatory car insurance thanks to Doyle. Now, New Hampshire will be the only state that doesn't require it.
