Re: POLITICIANS AND OTHERS IN GAMING

The trick lies in making sure everyone gets your references. Oerjan 
isn't American and should be expected (if not encouraged) to miss some 
cultural references made by Americans. And vice versa. The UK and 
Commonwealth folks on this list give me a smattering of 'local' slang 
and dialect that has proved endearing more often than embarassing when 
dealing with visitors to the US.

For example, on the off chance, someone hasn't seen the Fighting 
Seabees, they might get the idea and they might not. What's a Seabee and

how does that relate to the bulldozer ? Maybe they don't know who 
JohnWayne is. It's possible on the Internet.

In your local gaming group, with people you know, it's a LOT easier to 
use references given the common background. But everybody ain't from 
these here parts.
