I live in a largely populated latino community with cities and streets that often have Spanish names. So you see, eating Mexican food *is* stereotypical here.

Yes, Dodgers are LA, Yankees are NY. And Dodgers are good, Yankees are bad. Dodgers are good, Yankees are bad. Now keep repeating that daily. :-D

Oops, I must make a correction! TV characters are not real EXCEPT for Mulder and Scully! They are REAL! I probably know bit more than most Americans about Aussies since I've been there and have kind of studied up a bit on it. It's just a guess but most Americans probably only think of Aussies as the type presented by Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin. You mean you don't all play with crocs there?!

There are more Australian actors getting recognition here like Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole (I have heard that all the Aussie actors in Hollywood stick together like their own little club. But often they aren't playing Australians necessarily in their movies so that doesn't reveal anything about OZ.

I haven't had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in ages. Mmm, sounds good. That's a typical kid lunch. What's a kid lunch there consist of?

I just watched that movie Spy Kids for the first time on tv. Didn't you say you saw that? I liked it. So funny to see Robert Patrick in it.
