I for one can't wait for EU to open it's doors, because I'm sick and tired of living in the third world shithole that is Bosnia.

But hey, even if it doesn't, I still have Croatian citizenship and Croatia is slated to enter EU soon, so I should get to live in Sweden or Germany eventually :D

They should give the Philadelphia area EU citizenship. I mean, at my work, you should see the amount of Europeans who come in. At least half of them are from some Slavic countries. Plus, I can make my escape to Scandinavia without going through a bunch of bullshit.

I have Croatian ancestors, is that a free ticket to Croatian citizenship? Well, I guess they'd need to have come here a little later than c. 1920....

(Tip's on spoilering would be nice.

If writing it out entirely with the keyboard, you just need to open a spoiler tab (with an optional "=Text to label the spoiler with", within it), open an image tag if you want it, put the URL of the image resource, close the image tag, put text in and then close the spoiler tag.  Put any other text within the spoiler-tagging area, but outside of the image-tagging one (before or after).

Hierarchically, it would look like

[spoiler]  (or [spoiler=Some text you want to title the spoiler with])
  Pre-image free-text
  [img]http://url://to.image.thing/whatever/etc/CaseSensitively.don'tforgettheextension[/img]
  Post-image free-text
[/spoiler]


If you want to use the fancy buttons
1) Type "http://www.something.org/the/URL/of/the/image.png" (no quotes), highlight that, click on the "Insert Image" button.  (You must already know how to do this, or else are pasting the 'example text for Bulletin Boards' from whatever place you're taking the image...)
2) Bulk it out with whatever other things you want to surround it with (text-wise, further images).  Preview it to make sure it looks Ok.
3) Highlight all that and then hit the "Insert Spoiler" button (radioactive symbol, on my interface... YMMV). to get the [spoiler] and [/spoiler] surrounds.  You may wish to preview that before continuing (to make sure it works the way you want it) and/or add the "=Spoiler explanation" text into the opening tag, as already described.
4) Do anything else you want.  Including editing the internals (so long as you don't break them).  You can't 'nest' spoilers, so don't try.

Anyway, I've just been ninjaed.  But I thought I'd spend some time on this off-topicness, given that (to be honest) you aren't keeping your own contributions to your own thread very topic-worthy either.

Oh, and "tips", plural==no apostrophe.  And you didn't close your parenthesis, so I'll do that for you now... ;))

Actually, I think you have a damn good shot at getting it if you try.

Were we friends with Croatia during the Yugoslav wars? Otherwise they might still have the "shoot the wannabe Croatian American!" sentiment.  :D

There's a more recent war to wash out WW2, and in it Pentagon assisted with training of the Croatian army, so you should be fine. That, and some American generals were defence witnesses in Ante Gotovina's trial (he got acquitted on appeal, after 7 years of court), and he's pretty much the biggest war hero Croatia has.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Starver, the balls in your court. So long as it's related to the topic, go for it. I deliberately left it wide open.

but realistically it's "Central American", not "South American".

Realistically it is north America, since it is located in north America.

...having gone back to see why I mentioned the Americas at all (I've slept since, and couldn't remember!) I think I'm happy taking it as North American if you want (I wouldn't personally be able to put the North/Central and Central/South lines across the map, at least not without reference to a tectonic plate diagram if that makes it any clearer).  Was really just hunting my (imperfect) memory for any prior Olympian aspirations/realisations by locales within the southern land-mass.

Quick Robin!  To the Batwiki!

(But that would be too simple. Not going to bother now. ;)


@Novel: I don't really want to answer a question that I, myself, posed.  Albeit as the abstract suggestion that it was.  Although I may already have revealed myself by any obviousness in the wording.  Also I can't remember what I wrote and snipped, but I remember thinking on how I wasn't really being that coherent, and I've no reason to suppose that I can do any better.  For which I apologise.
