Same here. I just end up feeling bad about shouting at other people. :P

Oooooooh, very shiny indeed! :)

Columbus






Ohio.
That's close to where I was born.

Here's our interactions in a nutshell.
DOn't worry,it's SFW.

Good morning I guess

I believe Michiganders consider that to be a bad word. :D :D

**Big ninja hug** :)

Good afternoon, everyone!

I hope your day is going well so far?

It is :) how is yours ? **Big hug**

A few health things at the moment, but other than that I am still doing good. Although, some French lady left me a potato for christmas, which is kind of weird. Over here we tend to leave lumps of coal for naughty children. But it's okay, I can always make some chips from the potato. :-)

*big silly hug*

*gentle hug*
I'm fine. Playing my 360,reading comics and Witcher and hugging the ladies of the thread.

Hallo DD, glad you are doing well overall. That's a curious tradition, leaving a potato for the naughty. Perhaps Gallic revenge for Sir Walter bringing them over in the first place? But hey, if you're sufficiently naughty, then you could get plenty of both potatoes and coal, and have a lovely potato roast when the snow comes down. :)

*return hug*

Is the Witcher a comic as well?

Hello, fine sir!

France and her potato tradition is a little curious, perhaps Owl will share it's origin sometime. Does America have a similar tradition of her own, or is it more of a cultural thing, with families doing what is tradition for their own heritage? But you are right, the English coal and the French potato means I get some lovely roast potatoes to enjoy. :-)

We pretty much have the coal tradition from the UK here. Though some families do switches (thin, supple tree twigs for lashing naughty children's bottoms).

As for potatoes, we famously misname chips here as French Fries, when really they are derivatives of Belgian Pomme Frites. But hey, Belgians speak French, and Americans are culturally illiterate anyway. We're lucky to have gotten even that close. :)

PS - I'm one of those rare Americans who doesn't use ketchup on his fries (or in fact on anything other than meatloaf). I prefer malt vinegar, hot sauce or mayonnaise on mine (though not all three at once).

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. =)

Hopefully you're all doing at least okay so far.

Additional - Told myself I wasn't going to spam the shit out of this link, but until the format shifts, I'm going to keep posting it.

So you give them coal and then beat them? I guess that is one way to stop them being naughty. :-)

We use the term French Fries to refer to small thin chips, while regular thick chips are just called chips. If I recall correctly, your chips are what we call crisps. You Americans so do love changing the name of things. Like calling Jam Jelly, and calling Jelly Jello. :-)

We have a malt vinegar based sauce over here that often goes along side ketchup. They don't go together, but usually side by side to give you the choice. I tend to prefer the brown sauce, which goes great with a nice English breakfast. :-)

(The name HP stands for House of Parliament (the Palace of Westminster), hence the image on the bottle. It was named that due to the sauce being popular in the Parliament canteen at the time it was first around.)

Good morning, Mr Crow!

Doing good today, minus the usual health stuff. No results so far today, so hopefully they will arrive tomorrow. How is your day so far?

Woke up, spilled coffee everywhere, fulfilled my Secret Satan self-torture obligations by purchasing not only To The Moon but its similarly painful looking sibling A Bird Story (audibly groaning while doing so), now it's typing up a big list of game repeats for the tracker thread. Good times.
