If one side of the state you live in borders an ocean, you live on a coast.

Hey if Austin gets its own slot then we should breakout all the states (yes i know austin is a city but having every city would be gay, not that there's anything wrong with that) at least, to get a better representation.

Perhaps internet access is cheaper in the U.S. or more convenient? Without getting into exchange rates, it would be difficult to compare though.

How did you find out about the penciljack site specifically, Ra Havok?

Ra Havok

10-08-2002, 03:05 PM

Some dude on another message board mentioned it , and I had a look. I like what I saw and registered. The rest is history. :p

Don't get me wrong, americans are cool people -at least the ones I met up till now- but I find it rather inconvenient to never know who the hell you're all talking about.

Before you go Belgium-bashing , KNOW THIS:

You always say 'french' fries, BUT you SHOULD say 'BELGIAN' fries!! *

yes, that's right, my ancestors had the luminous idea to fry sliced potatoes! Not the french. Their cuisine is too refined for that.

If you don't believe me.... you're wrong!

I love that Austin is listed separately. Texas, I could see, as every Texan I've ever known is under the impression that Texas is a separate entity from the U.S. Anyway, uh... I respect you, Ra. I will order Belgian Fries next time I'm at a restaraunt and see what their response is.

Wanna hear something funny...although I'm from mexico I now live in NY.. and this weekend I decided to go to this belgian fries place because it looked so delicious... to tell you the truth it didn't look like it was a very clean place..(not that i'm bashing belgium fries shops in genral, if you're looking for filthy places just go to a mexican restruant..)It was arround 11:00pm The thing is I got the wooorst stomach infeccion in my life and couldn't make it back to my house (or any open place with a bathroom) at 4:00am so I couldn't help it and just like a baby I messed up my pants in between 14th street and broadway../ and then had to go back to my place in queens by subway smelling all funky and doing the "cowboywalk"..
Then i kept going to the bathroom every 5 minutes and blood started to come out..
I blame it on belgium fries and the damm mayo..

or it could just been that mexican guy who was coocking them??

1.) Mexican restaraunts are so filthy because it takes 3x as much greese to cook anything we make, and dirt and scum and all that shit has an easy time sticking to it (because you know when you fry something, it floats in the air).

2.) I think that's you just being a dirty bird. I seriously would have just thrown away my underwear in the bathroom of that place (or left them on the sink) to pay them back for what they did to you. a 5.00 pair of underwear lost is worth saving yourself the embarrassment of having people look at you silly (or sillier) on the C train.

mishaman

10-08-2002, 07:07 PM

At 4:00 am the place was allready closed..and I did throw away my undies in some hidden ally..

And by the way, mexican restaurants IN the USA use 3x more oil to fry the food because that's what americans like, plus the ingredients that are used are not as good and fresh as the ones back in the real place...

Mexican restaraunts, true mexican restaraunts with real mexican food in the menu do not..I repeat, DO NOT use not even half of the oil and other junk regular american restaurants use... the taste is ten times better, the ingredients are 100% natural (no transgenic or chemicaly enhanced) and if something is too greasy.. there's allways something to counteract the effect..such as LIME... try lime on your tacos next time you go to a mexican place and you'll see what I'm talking about.. best taste in the Whole Wide World.
And don't order burritos or chalupas..such thing (at least the way it's made in usa) doesn't even exist in mexican cuisine..
And one last thing..Taco bell is NOT mexican food..
Thank you.

why doesn't UK count as Europe? pfft!! La di flippin da.

I think mainly Europeans prefer their native languages so the huge groups of Germans, French and the rest of them southmed people stick with their own. I agree that more multifaceted Europeans need apply here. Mainly so that there are more people to talk with during the day. Everyone else has gone beddy-bye then. Boring.

They have shity food there tho: raw fish and rice.. no tacos, no salsa, no mole, no tostadas, no pozole, no LIME, tomatos and cantalupes are an expensive comodity; no chicharron, no quesadillas de hongos, no sopes, no enchiladas suizas, no tortas, no agua de horchata..

man..does anyone know a bout a food forum??I'll have to post some new thread about food somewhere in the general discussion forum... I just miss the food so much..

Shut Up your making me hungyyyyyyyyyyyyy, BUT my grandma visiting from mexico. YAY! She makes the best rice and pozole. Thats really all you can make with the crappy ingrediants up here. But we got some imports. Pandulce and boleos arn't stale yet, good salsa, tostadas, and some agua de horecha mix. And they say securities getting tighter at the airports. On the plus side her shoe set of the metle detector so they thought she was a shoe bomber. :p

That is right... You know, what I find curious is that up there in the United States people call theirselves as "americans", but it kinda sounds weird for me since I learnt that everybody that lives on the american continent are americans, no matter if you live in canada, United States, Chile, Brazil or Argentina... For example, here in my country we know people that live in the United States as "United Staters", not really "americans"...

Well, it's just something curious that I wanted to point out...

Sorry to burst your bubble misha but North America is a continent of its own and it only contains Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Central America and South America are two different continents (though some books claim that Central America is split between South and North America). Just thought I'd make that point of order.
