   Hmmm.... Okay, I can see that. I'll bet that some people think that
there
   are kangaroos hopping down the streets, too...
Well, deer certainly do that in the US....
      And of course, up here in Canada, wild moose roam the street
as parka-clad civilians dash from igloo to igloo dodging hockey pucks,
Seperatists, and errant lacross shots (the nation's _official_ sport!),
chugging their 'I Am Canadian'-Labatt beer, listening to Alanis Morrisett
(shudder) and The Hip.

Hontou ni? We also have aboriginal people living in natural surroundings
in the middle of the cities, which are just a couple of sheds with a few
wooden houses with outside toilets, a few cows and sheep and horse, bush
everywhere, desert where there isn't bush, drouts all the time, koalas
living in every tree, kangaroos hopping down the highway (the dirt track
that's normally used by more than one person), and we all sit around a
pub (they're found near each house in the whole country) and drink cold
beer all day.

Kun-chan...

I guess us in Texas cin just strut around wearin' chaps an' ten-gallon
hats, ridin' horses inta towns with no sherrif an' dusty streets whar
tumbleweeds roll, gittin' dead drunk on whiskey in bars and ruinin' their
businesses by having bar-fights, chewin' tobbaco and spittin' it on the
injuns who are wrongfully tryin' ta deprive us of the land we rightfly
stole from them, duelin' by meetin' at high noon on main street, walkin'
ten paces and shewtin' the other feller, becomin' sherrif at the drop ofa
hat and roundin' up a posse ta take out black-hatted gangs, stringin' up
cattle-rustlers fer takin' some of a feller's only source of viable income
in these here parts, cows, an' yellin' "YEEEHAWWW!" when somethin' reel
good happens.
