I'd like to have a word with Gus


He goes off at every opportunity about being Greek. Well Gus, can you explain why Greece is such an economic crap hole?

Can you also explain why Greece hasn't been a relevant country in centuries?
And the USA beat Greece to the moon you douche.

Alas, Gus is a fictional character....

LOL....You said it...I am Greek, and I find him annoying myself when he talks about Greece and what they have done and how the root of every word is Greek.

I have to admit though, I found the part funny when Mrs. White returns gus's mother and starts talking about his Greek pride there and asking her to give a word to show how the root of that word is Greek....the rest kind of annoyed me

I think it's an old person thing. lol My grandmother is from France and I swear if Gus were a woman and from France, he'd be her! She's always going on about how the food is better in France, how American's are unhealthy, blah blah blah. lol

My friend... you need learn history. Greece survived for centuries as a great power via Byzantine Empire. USA is nothing compared to this. And try to think how would be your country today if stayed 400 years under the turks.
