Why is Toaster Boy fawning over you? And there's not supposed to be anything weird in that comment. :/

^I really don't know where you got that. I'm asking him questions?

How come those people in France call us fat American pigs while if it wasn't for us they would be speaking German?

TB is just making use of this totally awesome new thread. He was unable to ask stuff before.

As a country, we're the #1 biggest consumer, and our obesity rates are incredibly high compared to the rest of the world, where in some places people are starving to death (though that's generally just one of many problems for those countries). In France, they're more self-conscious about things like water use and they're typically much healthier (obesity is uncommon, if you can believe that). Not to mention there's resentment towards tourists who visit France and expect them to speak English.

If you like France so much why don't you marry it? Get outta mah rearview mirror, hippie.

I am French. French women are pretty lovely too, but then again, there really isn't a nationality where they don't have attractive women.

Yeah, women rule. Even if they're French. I'm kidding, I'm Canadian and have a lot of French-Canadian family friends. Do you know a lot about les Quebecois? You should, they're your kin. But not as good as those sexy Americans.

Miss USA, in all her glory. Is Miss France hotter? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

If she's bundled up for winter, yes. I don't normally compare women, rather whether I'd go out with them or not. Anyway there are plenty of physically attractive women around, so it's really about them having a cool personality too.

What did you have this Thanksgiving day?

I only ate turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. I ended up cooking a lot less than I had anticipated. I'm not a big holiday/tradition person, I just do whatever I feel like as it happens.

What's the most impressive thing you've ever cooked?

Probably yesterday's dinner. I'm not an amazing cook or anything, I bet there are plenty of people here who can cook better than me, but boy do I love banana bread.

Ah, il est bon de rencontrer un compatriote.



I'm pretty sure I saw a Welsh woman with a moustache. :/

What should I do tonight? My parents have gone to see Leonard Cohen live, and I'm stuck at home because they "forgot" to get me a ticket. Ah well. Any suggestions?

Yeah, but it's not like all Welsh women have mustaches. Remember Princess Diana? I don't believe she had one.

Have a party! But if you can't do that, you could always play EarthBound. I, for one, am cleaning in preparation for tomorrow, where I'll be partying. If you are unable to figure something out by the next time I check this thread, I'll try to think of something different.

Why can't everyone just play Earthbound when they're down? And why won't they be releasing a new one for the Wii? I could see it making Time magazine.

Well, there won't be any new ones (the creator, Shigesato Itoi has said so himself), but they should release EarthBound and MOTHER for the Virtual Console. It's a decision that's up to Nintendo of America, and sadly they've shown no interest in doing.

Pretty much if you want to play EarthBound, you'll either need to get a SNES and a cartridge (which would be over $100 on eBay), or try your luck in finding an emulator, which while frowned upon, is the only feasible option for most. Incidentally, MOTHER and MOTHER 3 (EarthBound is also known as MOTHER 2, if I'm confusing you) were never released outside of Japan anyway so if you wanted to play them in English, you'd have no other choice.

Does it show that I've been up since 3:43? Or do I act the same when I'm whiny and sleep-deprived?

Not really sure, I don't read all the threads (even though I probably should since I'm a moderator) so it's not like I know what you're saying to everyone. If you ever have the chance to live alone, or maybe with like a roommate who keeps to themselves, waking up can be fun since you have time to clean or cook before having people over. Anyway that's what I do.

How has the wife been? You treating her right?

I have a wife? Well, if I did I would, I treat all women nicely.

Does Lindstrom have a wife? =O
