The worst car crash I was in was scary but I never thought I might die. I was parked on the side of the road in a park looking at some turkeys with my gf (she'd never seen them before). It's a pretty dead road but I looked in my rear view out of habit and noticed a car coming right at me at a...

Thanks to the mod team for pointing out something I'd have probably pointed out in a much less nice way. ;)

Sounds pretty interesting.

We say it 'round these parts to poke fun at those what actually say it in them other parts. They're in other places as well but yeah, American as whatever. Hmm ... I had assumed that'd be more universal. Interesting. How else ya gonna get paid, son?! :p I've never even seen canned...

Yeah, that seems pretty common ... and I love it. It allows me to separate myself from the herd. I be good wit da peeples, mon.

St Patrick's parties are common but about as Irish themed as they get are corned beef, green dyed beer, green clothes and binge drinking. Plus we don't consider them Irish themed, we consider them St Patrick's themed - as in, it's an American celebration. Additionally, America has so many...

Just a note: Gen Con is hardly a representative sample.

I think there was but I can't remember. All I know was that it cost about 45 to 50 euro to get anywhere we wanted to go. :p Honestly, though, when we traveled by cab we typically went pretty far. Anywhere from where we were on Corfu to anywhere else was a hike and on the mainland we only...

I just finished Turgenev's A Sportsman's Notebook (for the second time). Wonderful collection of stories. He is by far my favorite Russian classic author. I started Palahniuk's Damned today cuz I wanted to refresh my memory before starting Doomed. It's about a 13 year old girl in hell and...

I thought Morrus' list was a good one. I mean, I'm American so I can't really say what's different about here but I have been to other countries (not many) so I can note some things I saw as 'missing'. The easiest one for me to recall is the cab thing. Where I live we don't have a lot of cabs...

Ugh, let's be fair here. If a woman decides to have unprotected sex she's taking the same risks the guy is. It's not like goldo is forcing the ladies he parties with to go raw, it's a mutual decision and both parties bear responsibility for what happens. Basically it may not be the nicest...

Umm ... no, we don't. We just have parties. Apparently, we're so awesome at it the rest of the world has decided to (very poorly) copy our swagger. :p Srsly, though, I've seen plenty of theme parties in my day but never one based on some other country. I mean, this is America. We don't...

I guess I thought I was closer than I was. My bad and will do. Sorry!

They can receive an education, sure, but they don't. Diane Feinstein had all the time in the world to learn the difference between a clip and a magazine and automatic and semi-automatic - she was a gun banner for Billy Clinton, after all - but she's still as ignorant as ever and still leading...

How? You come closer to that than I do - I mean, you're the one making threats, no? ;)

Not to mention that it's no different at all from a standard bank account - hell, all you're doing is moving the decimal point. What's the real difference between taking $1 away from $10,000 and ... and taking $1 away from $10,000.

Just your standard 20+ years of martial arts stuff.

I was at a wine festival once and there was a mobile sushi place there. Yeah, a sushi roach coach. I ... did not partake. Recently I helped a friend move and discovered that his old neighborhood actually had a drive thru sushi joint. How the hell does that work? My guess is that it doesn't.

Yeah, internet tough guys really scare me. :hmm: So how's that shoe feel? Your toes nice an' comfy? ;)

That's not a statement contradicting my assertion. Rather, it's a statement of agreement with a caveat: degree.
