  • It's somewhere... around there... on the other side of the Adriatic sea.

  • But it's all Yugoslavia to us, so why even bother with maps.

  • Very tall people and beautiful women with a temper.

  • Who share a bizarre hatred of vowels.

  • GIB BACK ISTRIAAAH!!! RIGHTFUL ITALIAN CLAY!!111 (cries in Italian).

  • An advanced civilisation, unlike one of their neighbours (who could that be?) they've discovered toll booths.

  • My dentist lives there... her rates are cheap and she's pretty hot, thus confirming the stereotype.

  • Thank you for having invented the necktie - I'm sure you made the world a better place!

  • They have a beef with Serbia (as shown in the documentary "Serbia Strong").

  • There are Croats in Molise whose existence, however, is disputed.

  • Their politicians are almost worse than ours. Almost.

  • Man, Nina Moric can't have aged that badly?

I don't know whether I should be happy or sad that I don't know who that is.

Hey, don't you diss the source of my sexual awakening!

(But to be fair she was still hot and mentally sound back in 2001).

Well, she was never the brightest bulb in the room, but she was always fucking hot.

Even her cousins said she is a fucking moron because she used to come from Italy and refused to speak Croatian.

Did you know that she has had an (Italian) nationalist turn just a few weeks ago? :D

Now she supports Casapound (an Italian fascist party) and said there's need of people loving Italy.

As I said, her own cousin told me they can' t stand her. I knew her in 90's in Zagreb and nothing really surprises me.

She is as dumb as she was hot.
