A: You’re from Liechtenstein?
Q: What is it with you and Liechtenstein?
A: I just like to say “Liechtenstein.”

A: Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Perth Amboy, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein. Could a child do that? I mean fast-like?
Q: Seriously. Do you think blogging is just a fad?
