Redskins International

[Om]

There are currently 193 generally recognized independent countries in the world. (That includes Taiwan, which you will NOT find on the “official” list of independent countries, but I choose to include anyway. So there.)

For off season grins, let’s see how many of said countries have, at some point over the past, say, 50 years, been graced by fans of the Washington Redskins. Let’s see to what percentage of the good Earth members of Extremeskins.com have, at some time in their lives, brought the Order of Burgundy and Gold.

The countries in which yours truly has either visited or lived are bolded below. List the countries you, as a Redskins fan, have represented which are NOT already bolded, and I’ll edit in as we go.

And please, do be honest. If you say you’ve been to the Kyrgyz Republic, we may just require you to produce a visa in the interest of maintaining our moral purity. :)

Hail, and tally ho.

And a special tip of our collective cap to one among us, checking in submerged and on patrol somewhere in international waters, north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Equator. Which may just be one of the coolest things I've ever seen on this site.

OM--There are currently 193 generally recognized independent countries in the world. (That includes Taiwan, which you will NOT find on the “official” list of independent countries, but I choose to include anyway. So there.)

Well, there goes 30 years of tricky diplomacy down the tubes!

And you should declare Alaska. We grew up calling the other states the "lower 48" or "outsiders" no matter what other state you're from. :D

Well, I should have known better than to even go with a closed list of "independent" counties. Not sure what I was thinking. :)

Territories are hereby in as well. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

[skins4eva]

I've been to Shirlington, VA. That's sort of like another country.

Ok, add Jamaica to the list.

I lived in Shirlington in 1984-86

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Add mauritius to the list, i must add it is one beautiful country and i had a blast there.

[iheartskins]

Scotland, Tanzania and Wales to add. :)

[RabidFan]

Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Ecuador, Jamaica, Bahamas, St. Thomas, Canada, Baltimore :), more just done thinking right now.

[Om]

Remember to please take a look at the current list ... we're looking for countries that have NOT yet been bolded at this point. Help a brudda out. :)

Mildly surprised to see no mentions of southeast Asia yet. I figure we have veterans here who've seen time in that part of the world. Love to hear from you all if you're out there.

[Bucaro]

Bahamas, Croatia, Italy, Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, France

[SteelerSkins]

European Union and Iceland baby!

[DonMagicJuan]

Pakistan!!

[hokie4redskins]

Highlight Turkey.

Everywhere else I've been has been mentioned.

Damn, beat me to it.

Vatican City is a sovereign entity and is not a part of Italy. I've been there.

Everywhere else I've been is highlighted already. But, I'll be trekking through Eastern Europe this summer. I'll try to get to the countries that haven't been highlighted sporting my burgundy and gold. Gotta spread the Gibbs Gospel.

:laugh:

[KAOSkins]

[Mountdrago]

[gangars]

I paid dollars, they wouldn't take my pesos and I logged on to the internet at the El Capitolio building in Centro Habana to check Skins news, don't tell Big Brother Bush.

[TheDane]

Dude.

Duh.

[tsunami001]

for what's not been bolded: China, Indonesia, Taiwan

[E-Dog Night]

I lived in Shirlington in 1984-86

And you lived to tell about it. I admire your courage.

[stopmakingsense]

Each year at the end of the year, TIME magazine has a Year In Review issue......with photos that take you through the entire year. Each photo says something special about the events of the year.

I would like to make this thread the YEAR IN REVIEW for the 20005 SEASON OF THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS.

Each of us has those moments that were so special to us.

Please post the photos of THE 20004 SEASON that are special to you....those that take to you that SPECIAL moment.

Please make sure you caption the pictures.

I will begin.

I chose this picture for a couple of reasons.

#1. I was wearing a custom ROCK jersey....and I love it.
#2. I was on the field at FedEx. That experience was awesome. Something comes over you when you step out there.
#3. We won that game.


Anyway.........there are many more picture out there. You do not have to choose one that you are in.........there are so many pic that our wonderful mods have provided us.........and I bet each one of us has that "special" picture we saved.

So.............2005 WASHINGTON REDSKINS: THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

Damn, I thought I would be the only one here to have been to Mongolia, oh well, how'd you like it there Denverdan? I was born there but haven't been back since I moved here to the good ol U S of A when I was two. Plus, would me being born there actually count?

[portisizzle]

I have been to Estonia and Finland.

[lom8104]

put me down for taiwan.

Loved it, I drank counterfeit russian vodka and learned how to sing the Mongolian national anthem. I stayed in a Gur in the mountains, It kinda reminded me of my homeland NEVADA, you really should go back, not a lot of luxuries, no coffee and lamb for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but beautiful.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

put me down for the phillapines and india.

Yeah I really should go back,(and introduce The Greatest Football Team to my fellow Mongolians) at least once if not more, but I'm glad that you liked it there. Even though I live here, the country side is where it's really at. And even though there aren't a lot of luxuries over there that we get to enjoy here, being out in the country makes you forget about those things, and isn't that the point? And yes I've heard that vodka is a plenty over there :D

[Omega4ce]

Austria is basically just around the corner for me and i'm there fairly often. Tunisia i was twice for long holidays (had a great time racing with quads over sand dunes). A funny sidenote of how capitalism rules the world: While most of the time, whenever you have to pay something the people demand Tunisian Dinar (and its actually forbidden to take any Tunisian Dinar with you outside the country) as soon as you hit the Casino its either US Dollars, or Euro's, or British Pound, or even better credit cards. Also, on the whole country you may find only "white" alcohol (wodka, gin etc) as soon as you hit the Casino again you can finally enjoy some Jack Daniels or some Johnnie Walker Black Labels. Both visits paid off btw. A combined net gain of 2000 US Dollars playing black jack :cool:

I'm a native from Greece btw and i'm there often as well, but i think Greece was already in bold.

Updated ... let me know if I've missed anything.

Don't know about anyone else, but something about this just puts a big ass smile on my face.

Thanks to all for checking in, and let's see how much damage we can do on the ports of call still unclaimed.

Om, what's "Vartican?" Never heard of it.

:D

[armstrong001]

I think you've missed the European Union.

Edit: Henryennis said he's been to St. Lucia, which is part of the Eastern Carribbean States.

[Om]

I think you've missed the European Union.

I actually just took it out. Hard for me to think of the EU as a "country." :)

Not wed to that, though. If there's sentiment enough, we can add it back.

[skinsfn4ever]

I was in Grenada, Thule Greenland and the North Pole air dropping supplies to scientists in the 80's

[ibrahim]

Born and reaised in Nigeria, West Africa. Been to England, Holland (Netherlands), Germany, Ghana, France and Jamaica.

[Om]

Fully updated again.

Pretty impressive for one day ... perhaps we can fill in some more blanks in day two. :)

Still some surprising omissions to me, notably certain Carribbean desinations given how many here have spoken of all their trips to the sun.

[TheDirtbags]

Add Georgia....the state

[Om]

Add Georgia....the state

Not sure exactly what you're saying here.

Have you been to the former Soviet state of Georgia, that is always on Paul's mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-miiiind?

Anyone been traveling in the past week? :)

[XSean21TaylorX]
