A word to friends around me...

[Count Roland]

yeah bws is right I did phrase that a bit odd. i'll have to be more careful in the future.

[Renegade_Turner]

Good luck, Mr. Chainsaw guy. Work ain't easy to find anywhere these days. New Zealand > America, anyway.

Did you… Did you just refer to New Zealand as being in the USA?

lol silly wabbit. He obviously didn't mean that.

[nerodx]

Yeah we Americans probably didn't give you a good first impression did we, what with the gas prices and Wall Street going to hell, the recent fad of everyone either thinking they're gangster or thinking they're emo/vamp, the amazing amount of drugs and obesity, and the ever growing unemployment rate. But at least we have... um... chinese food... it's really good.

[Blorx]

chinese restaurants are all over the world
i'm assuming new zealand has them too
=P

what we have that they prolly don't though, is rednecks
and rednecks are friggin hilarious
especially when they go on rants about how much better they are than rich people
it's so hypocritical that it's epic

[Lotus Wolf]

have you ever had Chinese food... FROM CHINA??? its a lot better... see we f*cked that up too!

[Blorx]

no i actually haven't...haven't been out of the US even...
=\
but i can say that chocolate milk and orange juice don't mix with chinese food

[BunnyWithStick]

Oh yes, we have plenty of "Chinese Food" restaurants around. Japanese food restaurants are quite nice, too. The semi-takeaway variety, where the food can be taken away but is essentially a proper meal in a funny little cardboard box.

[Blorx]

haha true that

[Starrz]

But at least we have... um... chinese food... it's really good.

true dat

racist =P
talking in eubonics when you're white...wait...are you white?

[Starrz]

yea im white.

sorry im being racist for appreciating different cultures.

[Glabbit]

If you really are white, I suggest you get out more. Get some blood flowing.

People generally prefer a healthy pink on a lad.
Wait, you didn't mean that?

[Renegade_Turner]

Nope, you're wrong there. Rednecks appear in different shapes and forms around the world, they just don't have the same Southern US accent. The theory is the same, though.

Umm, you are aware that Chinese takeaways are most often run by people who are actually Chinese, right?

That's the scary part.

This may be true, but it doesn't suggest that the chinese meals made in, say, holland or america, taste the same, or even house the same ingredients as the chinese meals in china, which, generally, are a whole lot more chinese.

To sum it up, things get cooked to the public's liking. And thus curries are less spicy when they're from england, than when they're from india. (Or more accurately, they are not spicy in english retaurants. Unless you speak to the cook. Personally.)
Therefore, [insert witty abbreviation here], What is given to you outside its original country is hardly ever reliable to be similar to what it originally was like inside that country.

...I think, anyway...

[Blorx]

some of those people taht work at Chinese restaurants are hard to understand...they talk too soft and fast for their accent
=P
