That's it! I've won! Purely by being the one and only "Contestant
Representing Latvia".

Long have I wondered, Skitt: Where exactly in Latvia is Florida's Space
Coast?

two separate locations in Arlington, Virginia)

Ah, there's a difference between residing and representing, you know. Just
look at many of the athletes nowadays. Now, if you really wanted to fit
Latvia within the boundaries of Florida, it'd be a bit of a stretch -- some
might drown in the process. Indiana has been said to be able to accommodate
the premises, but most likely not too willing to accept the inhabitants, but
that's their loss, not that us'ns would mind.
Since Indiana was not a prime candidate for furthering the traditions and
culture of those inclined to do just that, some of the Latvians bought a big
chunk of Michigan and even renamed it, in Latvian, of course. Look up
"Garezers" with AltaVista.
Besides, I wanted to get my particular ethnicity known to the contest judges
to squelch any thought of engaging in discriminatory practices by the ruling
class. I'll have you all know that I have not been afforded any of the
benefits of being a member of a minority group, and this may be my one and
only chance to cash in on that status, disadvantaged in many ways as I am,
but with the firm backing of the troops (do they have any?) at Garezers, if
necessary.
In other words, I want *something* to show that I'm an upstanding,
semi-literate, sometimes obnoxious and intolerant, dude, who is nevertheless
a softie-at-heart -- a mug, befitting a mug like mine, perhaps ...?

You said somewhere that you have two ex-wives. That's all the proof we
need.
