I noticed the Exiles thing too, and tried to rationalize it away as him keeping a spare... Also, I didn't know it was spelled Colombia, either. You learn something new every day. :D<br /><br /><i><b>Martín "MaGnUs" Pérez:</b></i> Thanks Nick.... keeping a spare where? Up his nose??!?! Still, he could have, in some way, retrieved his mask... hence the low rating.<br /><br />"Columbia" is one of my pet peeves, Colombia is not even pronounced like British Columbia, but as "Kol-ohm-bee-a". Thanks again.<br /><br /><i><b>Nick S.:</b></i> Wasn't he wearing a utility belt or something?! ALL THOSE POCKETS MUST HAVE THINGS OTHER THAN PANCREAS IN THEM! ...C&D reference. >_><br /><br />And I knew about the pronunciation, but I thought it was a spanish-accent thing, like the difference between the english and french pronunciations of 'France', we say it like it rhymes with 'pants' and they say it more like it rhymes with 'wants'.<br /><br /><i><b>Martín "MaGnUs" Pérez:</b></i> He might have been wearing a belt; but it would have been also taken away from him. And pronunciation or not (which is still wrong; you should pronounce a name as it's pronounced in its language, the rest is deformation), it ain't hard for a writer to check a map or Wikipedia, and see how acountry is written, hence my annoyance.MaGnUshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351888054411049033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19261226.post-84768197880485835002009-06-13T16:56:04.628-03:002009-06-13T16:56:04.628-03:00Yeah, right, Mr. Mot, the Bolian barber; from a sp...Yeah, right, Mr. Mot, the Bolian barber; from a species without any head hair! :)MaGnUshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351888054411049033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19261226.post-86757708186929441212009-06-13T09:33:44.018-03:002009-06-13T09:33:44.018-03:00Hey MaGnUs,
