| Nothing.  Dont get me started on bands, Ill be here for 6 hours and not even scratch the surface. There have been so many awesome bands to come out from the 60s to now I wouldnt even know where to start. But here are a few things I can think of Budweiser Jack Daniels Jim Beam Marvel and DC comics G.I. Joe Playboy Penthouse Lucky Charms  Music wise Morbid Angel Death Motley Crue Saliva Rev Theory Disturbed Janis Joplin Godsmack |

| Time to finish off this TIG world trek with our final four countries! NETHERLANDS  CANADA  MEXICO  SPAIN Netherlands - I've visited Amsterdam twice and loved the museums, canals, street markets, and the coffee shops were pretty cool too The shared home of this:  Canada - Crossed the border and visited Vancouver for a few days when I stayed in Seattle. Superb scenery. The home of Kenner Canada and its cool bilingual moc and boxes Mexico - Have never visited here. But I like Mexican food! And of course the home of this:  Spain - The Basque country on the border of France and Spain is a really beautiful region to visit with unique architecture and food. and home to this:  |

| I've totally missed this thread but not too late with the final four.
The Netherlands gave us the non-flying Dutchman, the one and only Denis Bergkamp, Marc Overmars and of course RVP.
Also some great beers
The Spanish gave us Fabregas and then replaced him with Arteta. They could have kept Almunia.
Mexico gave us one of the best World Cups in 1986, which in turn gave birth to the 'Mexican Wave'.
Special mention for their food.
Canada gave us Degrassi Junior High...........................sorry.
