They hired a guy at my company who took the title 'Values Czar'. What the F do you have to do to be given the title of 'Czar' at a company?  :huh:

That reminds me, a couple of weeks ago, over text to Africa I explained in horrific detail the hierarchy of rank of noble titles in Europe, with examples of imperial titles (e.g., tsar of Russia, kaiser of the German Empire, Empress of India), with a brief detour into the story of how the Elector or Prince or whatever of Brandenburg secured a royal title but only outside of the Empire, after the acquisition of Prussia.

I wound up getting a blowjob.  I assume because it stops me from doing that.

The Larch



A drunk Norwegian tourist fell into the luggage trail of Fiumicino airport in Rome in the middle of a hectic summer day and was out of sight for 15 minutes. He ended up getting x-rayed.

Quote from: garbonI want a punch smiley.

It's just a naming convention.  E.g. Korea; or to go way back Italy (in theory, anyway, as this was pre-Languish); and if I'd dated the SE Asian girl, she'd have been Vietnam.  I guess it's complicated by the unfortunate fact that I don't know which country or ethnic group in Africa her family descends from (and the answer is undoubtedly "several," although at a guess I'd say predominately Igbo or similar).

It's only an issue if I dated another Korean-, Italian-, or African-American woman, or an undifferentiated European woman, at which point I guess I'd have to come up with a new system based on something ridiculous, like personal traits.
