You forget that the rest of us are well adjusted.

So I'll put up some pics of Venice while I have the time

A few things I learned about Earl this past weekend:

1. He like Orange


2. He takes pictures of the Pacific


3. He takes MORE pictures of the Pacific


4. He gravitates toward food


5. He prefers Sunset to Sunrise


6. He appreciated the LA Sunset

Sue me...

As for trying it for the first time in Canada, the thought of raw fish (ignoring the whole Penguin thing) is not that tempting to me.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fish person in general... so it was never a priority. While I was there, they insisted (especially Dylflon) that I try it, so I said why the hell not.

I'm sure I could close my eyes... throw a dart on a map and find a sushi place in the city, I just never cared to.

Anything else Mr. KG?

Ahhh, I'm not a big fish person myself...you're seriously my black doppelganger. But anyway, sushi is different than "fish." It has different tastes, textures...and with a little ginger and wasabi mmm mmm.

Anyway, good thing Dylflon insisted you try it, because you should try everything once...open minded is the way to go.

Looks like those canadians are good for something

Rape and murder are just two of the many things I will likely never try.

I'd say we're also pretty good for maple syrup, hockey and for having a justifiable condescending attitude towards Americans.

Don't know something until you try it Simon.

And don't forget Canadian Bacon....or as you Yanks call it, ham

[GameMaster]

Is there a difference between Canadian bacon and just 'bacon'?

As Typhoid pointed out (and Swan stated above), Canadian bacon... is pretty much ham... so its unlike "bacon" and more like ham. Same source. Different cuttings.

As for other odds and ends,
We... or some of us... thought it would be a good idea to sing the Power Rangers theme song in PoCo... it was.
Ace... can sing the Pokemon song by heart as he demostrated during the Vietnamese culture night
Nintendo isn't just a secretive company in business, they won't let you anywhere near their headquarters. One of their door is actually manned by a receptionist about 5 mins away... via camera... its a little weird.

Hah, 10 years ago I had a discussion with this guy from school. I've been a veggie all my live, while his friend had become one when she was 13.
He told me that I wasn't a good vegetarian, because I needed to try it before I could refuse it.
So I said: "You have to murder somebody before you can decide not to murder anyone?"
He replied that was different and he'd come up with another example.

He was thinking for 5 minutes, then he gave up.

I spend over 80 hours a week within rock-throwing distance of that sign, and yet you never managed to come see me. I knew you hated me

Don't even try that... I called/texted you like every day I was in Seattle... Mr. I'm too busy with everything, all the time!

[Combine 017]

There's an evil story... I don't want to remind myself of.

Hahahahaha
Good times. It was fun having a pet of my very own for a few days. Theres still a big empty space in the corner of the basement where you slept.

A) You just called a black person your pet.
B) You made him sleep in the corner of the basement.

Earl, I don't know if you noticed this but the black population of PoCo was cut in half when you left.
