He also said: “Canada? Why should we leave America to visit America Junior?”
I guess he should be commended though, for actually knowing that Toronto is in Canada.
I thought Alberta was Canada’s Texas.
West Texas is Canada’s Alberta, if they didn’t already have… Alberta. So it’s Alberta Lite.
I don’t get The Philippines one. Can someone explain? “Water Mexico?”
A bunch of islands, peopled by folks of mixed spanish and native ancestry.
The way I heard it is that Mexico is America’s beard.
In the states Filipinos are often confused with Mexicans(or with anyone of South American Spanish descent to which most Americans refer to as Mexican). Basically brown skinned Catholics many of whom speak Spanish.
I waited tables with a Filipino guy in Dallas who was always mistaken as hispanic. The fact that we worked at a Mexican restaurant didn’t help. He once had a table walk out because, when they asked him why he didn’t speak Spanish to his tables, he replied that he wasn’t Spanish. We think the table was pissed off because they thought he was ashamed of his ancestry, not knowing that he’s not Mexican and doesn’t speak Spanish.
Alberta is Canada’s Texas.
Giant pickup trucks, a contempt for any government who questions the right of anybody to own a giant pickup truck, and a hatred of any government who makes it difficult for anybody to own a giant pickup truck.
Yeah, that’s Alberta. :rolleyes:
Shenzhen is the Mississauga of Hong Kong.
America is the world’s idiot brother-in-law.
Or brother period? <insert “Billy Beer joke here!”/>
ETA: Oh, Did I just date myself horribly?
Actually, it turns out it’s not JUST “convergent evolution”…there really were a lot of real Mexicans who settled in the Philippines, back when the galleons plied the Pacific between Manila and Acapulco, and so some Filipinos have some Mexican ancestry.
Okay, as for the OP, I’ll go with…
"Tunisia and Sardinia, Italy’s goalposts" (Sicily being the soccer ball, of course.)
Western Australia is Australia’s Texas.
Queensland is Australia’s Florida, Alabama and Georgia all rolled into one. In fact it’s pretty much the whole US south-east rolled into one, come to think of it.
Excellent! I’m glad these two posts happened in the same thread. So I sort of know a gal from NZ, and during bar chat I referred to Canadia, ala Homer J, as “America’s hat.” She responded, “That’s the kind of thing Australians would say about New Zealand.” Ha!
This made me literally laugh my dick off. Okay, not literally, as that would be impossible on at least two levels, but I cracked the holy shit up at this.
Andorra is Catalonia’s home of Tax Free Shopping.
America is the guy that’s fucking your sister?
He has a yacht too.
Malaysia, the poor man’s Indonesia.
That’s the exact joke I was going to make. 
This map describes Australia as ‘Arkansas with a beach’.
