It's not a problem about the beer -- there aren't any English ex-pats living in Tennessee who post on these forums. And actually we have quite the Canadian contingent of Cannucks: met, betawoman, and sgt thomas at least. So Happy (not really) Thanksgiving

The “One” is the space of the “world” of the tick, but also the “pinch” of the lobster, or that rendezvous in person to confirm online pictures (with a new lover or an old God). This is the machinery operative...as “onto-theology."

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
But I'm still English, and I live in Tennessee. So if not an expatriot what exactly am I?
I mean, I'm an American Citesen but I'm still pretty obviously English.

- An expatriate (in abbreviated form, expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing or legal residence. The word comes from the Latin term expatriātus from ex ("out of") and patriā the ablative case of patria ("country, fatherland"). This "Latin" term comes from the Greek words "exo" meaning outside, and "patrida" meaning country or fatherland.
In its broadest sense, an expatriate is any person living in a different country from where he or she is a citizen. In common usage, the term is often used in the context of professionals sent abroad by their companies, as opposed to locally hired staff (who can also be foreigners). The differentiation found in common usage usually comes down to socio-economic factors, so skilled professionals working in another country are described as expatriates, whereas a manual labourer who has moved to another country to earn more money might be labelled an 'immigrant'.
