Greek food alone is worth keeping Greece around. Pastitsio rocks.

What about Kebabs?

Oh right... that's Turkish isn't it. Not good to confuse the Greeks with the Turks.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Kebabs are good, but I frankly prefer them Indopak style, not Greek/Turk/Leb style.

But that's because that's what I'm used to

They're Lebanese. Greeks make souvlakis..

All the fat Greeks I know are greasy. Just look at My Big Fat Greek Wedding. ...and they smell like an old wet leather shoe. Why don't you guys shower more often?

Every Greek I know can buy and sell 1,000 Stevens.

I actually went to animation school with a Greek, named Spiros. Cool guy. Last time I heard he was working for ILM.

However, he wasn't a fat Greek so he wasn't greasy...didn't smell like an old leather shoe either. I think he showered everyday.

I don't know why Greeks have that reputation here. Then again the majority of Greek immigrants were poor. Some Indians stink really badly but I don't go around joking on them because I know they don't know any better.

And you out of all people with a partner from the Philippines should understand what I am saying.

i have to wonder if we'd even hear about it if the shoe was on the other foot, say a french student with a french flag in mexico.

That's not 'the shoe on the other foot' that's a completely different pair of shoes.

It never ceaces to amaze me also, why anyone would believe it made sense to compare the potential responses of a police state to those of a democracy. I mean, it's not like one expects people in a police state to have freedome of speach etc.

I thought Australians understood the subleties of ironic, self efacing humour. Perhaps not...

I didn't know Greece had any rich people...except Onasis and George Soros. Most of my Greek friends are fat, greasy guys with hairy backs. They're always looking at the blonde haired, blue-eyed American women like they're a Gyro. Most of 'em wouldn't know a bar of soap from the gunk in a grease trap.

Go there on a holiday and you tell me whether they are what you describe.

Nah - I think that its perfectly fair and reasonable to write off that nation of people (every one of them) on the basis of what we've seen on the telly, what others have told us 3rd hand and a few hairy, badly dressed people we saw on holiday.

I mean if we can do it for the city of Los Angeles as well as the States of California and New Jersey - its not much of a stretch to extend that rationale to a small European country.

Does frequenting a local Greek restaurant count? I can't get the smell of a wet leather shoe out of my memory.
