I saw "South Asia" and "Southeast Asia" and never realized that "Southwest Asia" wasn't there. "Middle East" is a weird term, just because it changes a little bit depending on who uses it, I've come to understand it as southwest Asia, but some people include bits of Africa in the region.

I'm referring to the region as it shows in the map included in the opening post...
and specifically the point I'm reading QC from - Israel (smack-dab on the junction of Europe-Asia-Africa continent-wise).
...and indeed considered at times a part of any of the 3, depending on different criteria...

So Southwest Asia, got it. And really? I'm pretty sure Israel is always considered part of Asia (as well as part of the Middle East). I was there in December, good times.

Oh, I know. I went down to Eilat while I was in Israel, just a few kilometers from Egypt. Interestingly enough though, the part of Egypt (the Sinai Peninsula) is part of Asia! (I'm sure you know this already but I thought it was interesting so it's for the rest of the thread).

I am indeed located in one of the many backwater towns in British Columbia. But I wouldn't be surprised if there are areas in the Maritimes more isolated than here, because that's just sort of the nature of things around here. if you're not a two hour drive from the American border, you may as well be in the middle of nowhere hahaha

Every fucking school uses that song. In marching band in high school had that except we use "Mountie" instead of "Tarheel/Sooner" and I instead of Ah because it's not the south I guess? Also I refused to sing that because it's creepy as hell. (Although sometimes I did anyway because we sang it after we scored a touchdown and it was exciting)

You were "Mounties"? So was the high school I went to... the school took its colors, fight song, and mascot from WVU. Except at one point someone complained and the Mountie had to give up his gun and bottle of moonshine.

We were the Eagles, and we did a spirited fight song that involved a violent chopping motion towards one's own neck. It was fairly brutal for high school sports. We got complaints from lesser spirited schools about it.

Good.

Hey! Found a video of the Opening Ceremony where the Freshmen are taught The Beak, then shouted down by the other classes.

The name of the school I went to was "Beall" (rhymes with "Hell"), so naturally we'd do a chant at football games that ended with "Give 'em hell, Beall". Never got any complaints from the other team, but the principal of the school hated it.

edit -- as for knowing nearby county names, I was a geography nerd in high school, so I memorized all the counties in Maryland (there aren't that many of them), but around here I only know the ones I need to know to understand tornado warnings. If the tornado is in Pottawatomie County, it's headed away from here. If it's in Cleveland County, it's here. If it's in McClain or Grady County, it's not here yet but moving in this direction.
