What makes naming every African country hard is the fact that there's like 3 or 4 different "Guinea's", and a bunch of island countries, and if you have to put them to the right place on a map? Game over. West africa is the hardest bit to match every country name to map, other than that it's only slightly choppy sailing.

Test yourself:

• sporcle, name every african country
• Sporcle assign every african country name to the right country on the map
• Sporcle - africa quiz subcategory

This is what i do for fun. While you were partying, I studied the Sporcle

My wife is always shocked to learn that despite communicating with him somewhat regularly, I have absolutely no details regarding any of my brother's upcoming plans or life events. Yes, I know he's engaged. I think I was one of the first to hear about it.. No, I don't know when he plans to get married, or where.. I don't know if he's going to South America again this year. I don't know any of this. It didn't come up. He will probably tell me if/when he does. I'm not really worried about it.

What do we talk about? Memes, mostly.. Most recently I've been sending him these fake Rastafarian AI doctor videos on Instagram with hilarious visual demonstrations of poop flying out of butts like a whirlwind while a passionate man talks about selling you his herbal cleanse. Now I've discovered the female version that is all about vaginal disbiosis and what to do "when ya poosee smell like a rotten fish mahhket" (you buy her herbal cleanse, that's what you do..)

But no, I don't know if he's coming for Christmas.

Damn, four days without having to talk about the usual bs sounds like paradise.

Talking about life is depressing. I want to do fun shit when I hang out with my friends. If someone has an important update they can bring it up but just general same old shit is pointless.

Maybe this is why I have no guy friends. I'd always ask how they were, and they would bust out in song, singing the Animaniacs song of countries.

I have done something like this with my buddies for sure, but we also talk about our families, relationships, jobs, health and such things because we are interested in each other as human beings, like friends are supposed to.

The real truth is he probably talked about getting high (or got really high/drunk), complained about his wife, life, work, talked money (and lack thereof), shit jobs and probably of either sports or gaming.

9 days to just name capitals? They must be awful at geography to take that long.
