On the other hand, when I arrived here to do my MA seven years ago, I was pulled aside and told by another student, "Don't think for a minute you were accepted on merit. You took the place of someone deserving just because they want your money."

hmm, that sucks

I was refused a mobile phone because 'we don't sell phones to foreigners, not even Americans'.

Well see? They were saying that you're better than the rest of the foreigners!

No, but there's a general (and probably untrue) assumption that Americans have untold advantages no matter who we are, and that because of this, it's acceptable to make things a little harder for us.

Anyone ever have a twinky? I found them disappointing. Just shit cream and sponge. They look so interesting on television.

The Spanish are far worse as are the British.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

What's a tootsie roll?

Cylindrical chewy chocolate candies. They're about the same size as a single sheeps dropping.

The Spanish are very bad.
The British not as much. Certainly no more than the French.

 

[Unicron]

Is that a marriage proposal?

Austrailians are notorious racists.

 

[jane]

Everything I say can be assumed to be a marriage proposal.

 

[billygannon]

Austrailians are notorious racists.

They are. They're very, very quick.
And have natural rhythm.

I always nervously hum the theme tune to A Country Practice whenever i feel i'm in imminent danger.
