Because he knows all kinds of stuff about music, international finance, and Formula 1 racing. Plus he can speak four languages, jump in his car and be in Germany or Italy or France or whatever in a couple of hours. Where can I go? Buffalo, NY. He can look out the window and see a mountain, a windmill, or a medieval castle. Wanna know what I see? An old woman walking her dog. Cannes, the Riviera, Monte Carlo, the Louvre, all practically within walking distance. What’s within walking distance for me? A gas station. I hate his guts. ---

I’m in L.A. I can jump in my car and drive a couple of hours… and I’ll still be in California! (If traffic is bad, I can drive a couple of hours and still be in Hell-A!) I can look out my window and see concrete. Oh yeah, and asphalt. ---

Alright, I was wrong about the mountain, but you have to plead guilty to the rest. Putz. 😃 ---

I have to agree. I’ve been living in Tokyo–loved it at first, now it’s a wasteland–for almost 10 years, and I’m sure Cold is a bastard. I’d expect a place to crash in the Netherlands to prove otherwise. ---

Oh, Wally, you forgot the #1 advantage to living in Europe: the chocolate. Ah, to go into a grocery store and stare at the wall of Milka. To put Nutella on…everything. And what do we get? Hershey bars. Blech. Plus a fantastic public transportation system. I’m lucky if our city bus shows up…ever. Feh. ---

I hate **Coldfire** and **tatertot** for much the same reasons, **WallyMeLub**. Coldfire for his location in Europe, tatie for her location in my favoritest (it’s a word to ME dammit) city in the whole wide world, Heidelberg, Germany.

So, you finally turned on me, eh Seale? What did it? Couldn’t be the snow. And I don’t think it was the hog. It’s because Mom always liked me best, right? And because I always forget the… you know… the place where the Mex kicked your asses. I forget the name. Hey, what are you doing? Put that down! I just had an operation! * * * ---

And _another_ thing! We all know that operation story was just an excuse for you to walk around in some hospital wearing one of those revealing gowns, singing Blue Moon at the top of your lungs. After all, what are they gonna do, put it on your bill? $0.00 + $0.00 = $0.00. Damn Socialists. And there you go, bringing up the alamo again.
