Name the European countries game

Guest

I got 30 out of 47, the ones I didn't get were quite obvious when you think about them afterwards.

I struggled to get past 18. Geography's never been my strong point, perhaps it would've helped if my teacher wasn't such a whopping great dildo.

...i'm not going to disclose my score. i am going to track down my old geography teacher and shout at him though.

I got 30

I bet I did worse, but then again, most of it is because I don't know how to spell half of the countries...

My geography teacher reminded me of Robin Williams. He used to make 'funny' (i.e. not funny) speeches in assembly, referencing pop culture and the like, adverts and songs and stuff, and all the time you'd just be stood there thinking '....here comes the bit about Jesus', and sure enough, there always followed a pious change in tone and a prayer.

My favourite was when he mocked the frightening alien pop sounds of anarchic singer Joan Osbourne's song '(What If God Was) One of Us' coming from his daughter's room, many months after the song dropped out of the charts. The 'laughs' came from his impression of Joan singing the chorus, in a massively exaggerated nasal squawk. It was pretty excruciating, but the worst was still to come in his thought-provoking conclusion. Can you guess what it was? You'll never guess.

NO NO NO NO!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW, YOU RETARDED CUNT!!! FUCK OFF WITH YOUR GOD!!! I mean, honestly. I wonder what the other teachers thought of him, nevermind the pupils. I bet they were half expecting him to start handing out Kool-Aid.

Jon Holmes (not THE John Holmes) does a great skit on pious similes like that.

my geography teacher once told me just cos i was a couchman i didn't have to lie (he'd encountered my brother. and being a couchman DOES mean you have to lie). then he kicked me. cue my mum storming into the playground after school, marching up to his car and screaming in front of everyone "what the FUCK are you doing teaching when you clearly hate children. you should be sacked, and then castrated, not least because you called your son BARRY!"

Yours sounds as much of a cunt as mine, who also had a horribly cruel bullying streak. Coupled with his delusions of popularity and David Koresh-like behaviour, it resulted in one particularly foul bowl of cunt soup. That said, I don't think I ever heard of him actually physically attacking the pupils, so...

while mine wasn't half as bad as either of yours, last night my brother told me that my old geography teacher used to pick on him and grief him when he had him because i was a lazy slacker 4 years before. lolol.

he also used to do this weird mid sentence volume-change thing where he would go from shouting, to talking softly, to shouting again (or vice versa) in the space of about 11 words.
