What you do here is you name any state, town, city, country in the world and the next person has to name a state, town, city, country that starts with the last letter of the previous response.
Example:
England
Denmark
Kansas
and so on and so forth...

Midway - Another Pacific Island

Yugoslavia - technically it doesn't exist now as the empire broke apart but it's the first 'y' I thought of...you can find it's remains in Southern Europe.
-
Alamo - this place is better known as "The" Alamo or "Fort" Alamo, but as it becomes increasingly difficult to think of a place that begins but doesn't end with an A (at least none that we haven't had already) I hope that it will be accepted under consideration of the fact that "Fort" Alamo was actually a missionary church, that was named "Fort" after the place was the sight of a battle between people who fought for the independence of Texas from Mexico and the Mexican army lead by Santa Anna in 1836. Though none of the defenders survived it became sort of a "moral" victory for the Texans as many more people decided to fight the Mexicans after that battle.

Dunkirk - it's a city but I just forgot the city of what :P

^ Dunkirk (I'm afraid we had it in the old Gang of Five already) is a harbor in northern France, close to the Belgian border. In 1940 more than 330000 British and Frensh soldiers who had been encircled there were evacuated to England whereby almost every ship (from tiny private boats to huge military ships) were used. It became known as the wonder of Dunkirk and probably saved Europe from falling to the nazis.

Btw Santa Cruz is more portuguese than spanish.. there's a brazilian state with that name.. they just like to copy us <_<

Ireland
-
Well yeah.. I mean I have family in Venezuela and all of that.. but it's just this Portugal-Spain thing.. we hate them and they hate us.. not in a war kind of way, but like frindly neighbours that are always in some sort of a quarrel =P Anyway I personally have no problem with spanish people since I some times go there on vacation I just don't like the language even though I'm a fluent speaker... neither the fact that some times in foren things msotely american movies or stuff like that they some times overlook Portugal.. and for msot of them we're just a Spanish state or something and I really hate that... I guess this is wayy out of the subject =p
Denmark-- don't know if it's been done
-
^ I have internet friends in Brazil. They were a Portugeuse colony at one time so can you blame them for naming cities after Portugeuse ones? There are cities in England that have the same name over here. (i.e Bristol, England Bristol, Tennessee)

(Just shows how mislead Americans are I guess about geography :blink: :blink: If you think that was jawdropping, see how many Americans can locate the Middle East)
-
Even though people arround here are slandering Americans for being unaware of the rest of the world, I don't think Europeans in general are much better. When my grandma went to Egypt on holidays it turned out that my aunt didn't know that Egypt belongs to Africa. There are people living here who couldn't locate Germany on the globe, while I'm positively sure that a huge majority of the Americans I met in Red Lake Falls could.
Danube - long river in Europe.
-
Just 11% of 200 high school seniors tested could locate Iraq, 12% could find afghanistan. Pathetic. I can locate practically every country in the world, but then again I'm very good at geography. :D

Dallas - Texan town which saw the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
I've read bunches of stuff about the assassination from both, conspiracy theorist as well as from supporters of the "lone nut" theory supporters (who say it was Lee Harvey Oswald acting on his own). Summing everything up I've read, I do not think that it is possible that it was Oswald, least of all on his own.
-
^ I tend to believe he did it, But the Warren Commission did such a poor job that we'll never know for sure if Oswald acted alone or , if he had help, who helped him.
San Antonio- one of the largest cities in Texas
Nick
-
^ If there was a conspiracy it is likely that Oswald was involved in it. However, as he was considered a poor shooter by the marines and had no traces of nitrates on his hands when this was checked after his arrest (usually you find nitrate on hands if somebody fired a gun) I don't think it is likely that he actually shot.
