Pacific Ocean? Arrrgggh, I almost made this one of my statements, but I thought it was too close to make it a definitive statement. I have seen the Puget Sound while in Seattle, and the Strait of Georgia while in Vancouver, BC. Since in both cases, i could see land looking across the water, I will stick my neck out on a limb and say: **I have never seen the Pacific Ocean.** ---

**I have seen all of “Star Wars.”** I’m not positive, however, that I’d ever seen all of “Star Wars” in one sitting until the late 90s “Han Shot First” theater rereleases. **I have never seen the Pacific Ocean.** The furthest west I’ve ever been is Banff. ---

\*\*I saw Star Wars in the theater, 10 years old, cast on my leg from summer camp. Best day of my young life. Greedo never shot first. Han took a preemptive strike. I have swum in the Pacific on New Year’s day, 1997\*\* ---

> [@Hoopy\_Frood](#): > > Fair enough. At least you’ve tried other styles and come to the same conclusions. All too often I see people complain about beer being bad when the only type of beer they’ve ever had is an “American Pilsner” style. (Which is neither a true pilsner nor very American when compared to the variety of stuff that was being made before prohibition and the legislative fallout from it essentially killed craft brewing here until they started repealing all the laws in the 80’s and 90’s.) > > Have you ever tried a fruit lambic? No, but if it’s alcoholic, then I’m probably just not interested. It’d been ages since I’d had a beer, but when my wife and went to Prague, _everyone_ was telling us (even the guidebooks) how awesome Czech beer was and such and such. So I gave it the old college try but the same thing–by sip 5, I had to stop. This is not contained to just beer, either–I feel the same thing about wine (too much acidity, even the “mild” fruity ones). As for the game: \*\*Yes, I’ve seen the original theatrical version of _Star Wars_ to completion. Yes, I see the Pacific Ocean probably every other day\*\* ---

\*\*I’ve seen the Pacific. And I’ve seen all of the original Star Wars.\*\* I’d have to stay seeing Star Wars was more fun. I could live without seeing the Pacific again (or swimming in it). ---

\*\*OK, I’ve definitely been dumped. I’ve had several one-night stands in the “classic” sense where you meet the guy, take him home, kick him out afterwards and never see him again. \*\* Those are fun. I’ve also had a few “relationships” that were intended to be one-nighters that turned into more “friends with benefits” arrangements. \*\*I’ve met a couple dopers in real life (and have had sex with two of them). :eek: Sex with more than one person?..see above\*\*. 😃 \*\*I’ve seen all of Star Wars…even the crap prequels. I’ve never seen the Pacific in person though.\*\* Worm, I think I’ll wear the tiara for a bit. ---

Yup. Bodies of saltwater that are connected to oceans are considered part of the oceans. Enclosed bodies of water (like the Caspian Sea) are not. 'sup to **His Worminess** , though. 😉 ---

In my Salomonian\* wisdom I say NAY, you can keep those three worms in your can. If you’ve only seen the English Channel, you have not seen the Atlantic, same as if you stand way in a fjord. But the Med counts as an ocean on its own, at least to this guy. \*or however you spell that. ---
