It's definitely not everybody's proverbial cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>However, I think you're wrong about the unique identity or lack thereof. It's definitely there. International popular culture has simply never taken much of interest in it, so how could anyone from outside Switzerland know about it?<BR/><BR/>Should you come back, I hope you'll have a better time.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715257557860731071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1116565143624915862005-05-20T10:29:00.000+05:302005-05-20T10:29:00.000+05:30JAP: I take it we're talking acronyms, hmm?JAP: I take it we're talking acronyms, hmm?Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1116494209089597012005-05-19T14:46:00.000+05:302005-05-19T14:46:00.000+05:30Ranting is GOOD.

In fact I think that's why I'm geting so obsessed with the whole Anakin/Darth Vader thing, as numerous future posts on Star Wars will indicate.<BR/><BR/>Toe Knee: Yes, it was no-expenses alright (as Anakin would say, "May the forex be with you"). But then if I'd paid my own way, I probably wouldn't have spent a whole week in the watch dungeon.<BR/><BR/>Srivaths: Federer shederer, but what about that Martina Hingis chick (reminds me of Natalie Portman as Princess Padme, yum)<BR/><BR/>Ashanka: thanks.
