Albania!

After a mention of Albania on "Globe Trekker", I searched for the song from "Cheers" about Albania. First thing I find? Otis' poker blog in which Joey Two-Hands plays a role. I'm not sure how much they reveal their true identities whilst using their poker monkers (uh, Marty? What's yours?) so I won't tell you who they really are, but I will tell you that they are friends that I don't get to see nearly enough and that through them is how I might someday actually come face to face with my old high school crush - Wil Wheaton. (Uh...was I "Amy No Tail" in that weird naming session? I can't recall who was No Tail.)

So, the full lyrics, no thanks to poker boy Otis, are "Albania! Albania! You border on the Adriatic. Your land is mostly mountainous and your chief export is chrome."

I will walk around for hours humming it with Coach's weird cadence.

"Al-bani-a! Al-bani-a! You bor-der on...the A-dri-ATIC!"
