Just thought I’d get this off my chest (I have a bad cold and am more irritable than usual; so sue me :D); so here I am, reading an interesting thread, and all of a sudden, a couple of contributors (or worse, three or more) discover that “Holy Leapin’ Lizards, we’re from THE SAME PART OF THE WORLD!!!”, and then proceed to hijack the thread for half a page or so with their extremely interesting posts about who lives where, where they all went to school, the cool restaurants/bars they know around there, and should they get together sometime soon? Um, excuse me, guys, I’m very happy that you’ve finally found each other, but it would be virtually impossible to make the thread less interesting to the general public than you do with these sidetracks. Just sayin’, ya know?
Holy Leapin’ Lizards, featherlou! We were once in the same time zone at the same time! Isn’t that amazing? What do you prefer? Daylight or Standard time? I like the McDonald’s in the Central Time Zone better than Burger King! How about you? My cat’s breath smells like cat food.
OMG! I grew up 10 miles from the McDonald’s in the Central Time Zone! Do you remember that redhaird girl that used to work the drive through? That was my second-cousin!
You guys are human too? Kewl! Remember when we went through puberty? That was awesome!
Hey! I’ve driven by that McDonald’s - while I was going through puberty! This is just incredible! Do any of you remember that sunset we had a few years back?!
Hey! I saw a sunset once!
Dood, you eat too? Man, I eat! Wow, isn’t that a kick?
[Paul Simon]I was walking down a street when I thought I heard a voice say, “Say! Ain’t we walking down the same street together on the very same day?” And I said “Hey Senorita, that’s astute,” I said, “Why don’t we get together and call ourselves an institute?”[/Paul Simon]
While I was in puberty, I once heard a Paul Simon song in a McDonalds!
This shit is getting spooky, dude.
Coldfire: Wait a minute dude, when I was working for McDonnel-Douglas, I once met * Senator Paul Simon!* Like, we need to get an exorcist in here, and this time I mean it!
You guys aren’t going to believe this, but I saw a movie called “The Exorcist”. I’m all weirded out.
OMG, we have movies here, too!
::faints::
Hey…you mean…you can FAINT, too?
Holy Cecil!
You all are in the Central Time Zone. Cool. Do you know Mike?
Kevja, that reminds me. While on holiday in South Africa, I met this American guy. Seemed bright enough, mid twenties. So we chatted for a bit, and he asks where I’m from. So I tell him I’m from the Netherlands.
“You’re from the Netherlands? But that’s in Europe! Cool! My cousin lives in Milan, do you know him?”
I had to explain him that the distance Amsterdam - Milan is roughly the same as the distance Miami - Boston.
Is Mike that guy, who like, has that thing?
Coldie, you’re from the Netherlands? My grandmother came from the Netherlands! Maybe we’re related!
You have a grandmother?!?
I used to have two of them!
Hey! I’ve got two of some stuff!
Dear Ghod - I have stuff! That is so creepy!
