Quoth Jay 2K Winger View PostHeh. I always enjoy these kinds of things, even when the jokes are at the expense of my country.
Quoth Jay 2K Winger View PostI got into an argument with an online Canadian friend about healthy foods, and accused America of being the worst at it, I was able to retort, "This, coming from the country that invented poutine?"
He had no response.
Quoth mjr View PostAnd don't forget butter pie. My buddy from England (where butter pie originates), thought it was some "s**t the Beatles made up".Last edited by XCashier; 05-12-2017, 03:13 PM.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth Jay 2K Winger View PostThat said, I do like to sometimes fire back when the opportunity presents itself. Like when I got into an argument with an online Canadian friend about healthy foods, and accused America of being the worst at it, I was able to retort, "This, coming from the country that invented poutine?"
He had no response.I AM the evil bastard!

Quoth mjr View Post"Some may ask, 'Is your taco salad healthy?'
there is only one question the answer we must know....
Does your taco salad lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight...?The Copyright Monster has made me tell you that my avatar is courtesy of the wonderful Alice XZ.And you don't want to annoy the Copyright Monster.

Quoth EricKei View PostNot if I can help it I'm a proud meatatarian. Well, proteinarian. Just as long as it ain't green...

OTOH, if I'm ordering for me, give me VEGGIES. Usually onions, baby spinach, green peppers, mushroom and black olives are good. Tomatoes depending on what I'm ordering.
But no sauces or mayo . . . I get strange looks because I'm not a condiment person.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

I actually do like some salads, and I do like spinach. For years I thought I didn't like it because as a kid I had only encountered frozen spinach, which is horrifying. But I like fresh! My Subway order is depressingly plain. Turkey on white, cheddar cheese, lettuce and olives, mayo and mustard. I used to know someone who would order tuna on white. Nothing else.
I was reminded of another difference in terminology. In the US we study, or cram, for tests. In the UK they revise for exams. It's a term that always gives me pause, even though I know full well what it means. My brain is stubborn, though, it says "revise? so you're changing your knowledge? You had it wrong and now you have to revise your understanding?"Replace anger management with stupidity management.

Here's a good rule of thumb. Don't follow the culinary habits of a man who has had four heart attacks like Ron Swanson.
My parents ran into a difference with terminology. They were thrown for a loop when the hotel clerk in Scotland offered to "knock them up." They would knock on the door to wake the guests up in the morning.This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."
I'm now using my Deviant Art page to post my humor.
