When I was a child me and my friends would ride dust devils (a small whirlwind about 2 to 20 feet high)only the big ones can be ridden. You would see the dust devil then run in the middle of it and spread your arms out to allow it to pick you up. So are there anyone else that are or have ridden a dust devil.

They tend to show up in some of the southwestern states. I've never ridden one, but I used to visit Arizona when I was a kid, and I remember seeing them there.

I thought you were talking about those shop vac things, cause Iw as going to say, we used to do that once a week in the theatre I used to work for.

But as for the mini tornado you're talking about, I guess. Would kinda suck to fall 20 feet, especially if there's something sharp under you when you land.

Nope, don't really get those in Jersey because we have too many hills. Sounds like a good way to scratch a cornea though.

That's an extremely broad statement that exhibits a startling lack of imagination. I don't imagine you could imagine the scope of space in American, you bring from Britain. I was always too big for that sort of stuff

Yes, fair enough, perhaps I should have said most of the inhabited spaces in the USA.

Also, thanks for the demeaning tone. Just because I'm from Britain doesn't mean I've never been to another country, chap.

Generally I try to go to countries with a different culture rather than one which is penetrating us in the same manner as a cat's cock. (Vetinary anatomy reference.)

Badgers work just as well for that reference. Also dogs, though in a different way.

No, I realise the tone that came off unintentionally. I have issues with Britain and the British, and it came out for no reason.

Well, no bother. We've got a fairly atrocious foreign policy record, aside from building infrastructure in countries we had formal or informal imperial status in.

I'm a Brit. Can you export them please?
You can't even export mountain dew to us, it's too sugary to be legal here. D:
