You don't know much about Romania do you James?

No, why should I?

But Zimbru Chisinau is a football team in Romania.

Chisinau is the capital city of Moldova, James.

Which bands, June?

I can always recommend more,

By the way, my top played artists are not completely respresentative of my current tastes.

Tool and Pain of Salvation for example... I really do not listen to them now.

Winds and Weidorje (but I already knew Genesis and Area)

Haven't you been watching the news and democracy at its finest? i.e. Illinois governor selling Obama's Senate seat, and Caroline Kennedy buying Hillary Clinton's senate seat in New York.

Land of OPPORTUNITY, right here.

Yeah, but we fight in the Natives all the time.

Them and their bloody igloos...

It's funny cause I hang out with most people from the university international students association and a lot of them really expected that kind of thing when they came here. LOL

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Bern has it factually wrong.

It all stems from the Mariah Carey Thread.

The Mariah Carey thread wasn't exactly meant to become what it was so, technically, the free discussions thread were introduced with the Velvet Room.

Can someone explain to me the SR. ATE thread? Or the Mandrakeroot one (is that how it spelled?) I'm trying to figure out what the threads are all for...

As for your obscure music tastes, James, don't worry, I can handle it. So far I've heard songs from bands I only knew by name, but I'm enjoying then.

SR ATE is for idiots..pure and simple.
In I'm Mandrakeroot, you just type "In this moment I/I'm/I am" and then type what you're doing in that moment (it can be what you're doing in real life, but it's normally a fictitious thing you're thinking of wanting to do really).

Wait, I thought all Canadians said "eh" a lot and used profanity like punctuation.

I have Genesis in my Library? Shocked

Weidorje are excellent.

I've only heard one Winds album and apparently their other albums are better and different too. No more silly growly man vocals. LOL

That'll be exciting for me. I've been waiting all my life to tell people that I do laundry.

Australia does sound like a cool place to visit, but considering that it's hard to take a water bottle in your luggage these days, I expect a whole human wouldn't make it pass the customs... Can you even take pets these days?

Australia is not bad, unless you expect to see kangaroos and sh*t, which you'll be sorely disappointed if you think you'll see them, cos the only time I've seen one in the last 6 years is in the zoo, and before that, several hundred kilometers away from the city.
Of course, you can always break into the zoo enclosures and see the animals up close, if you want the real experience.

Hell no. If I go to Australia, I expect to see kangaroos, to drink Fosters, to keep the dingos away from the babies, and debate about what is and what is not a knife.

Hello. I'm an American.

YER BLOODY AMERICAN

And I expect a boomerang upon my arrival.

Which unlike a Kangaroo, I don't think I've ever seen in the flesh before Confused

About the profanities, well, I can safely say that French-Canadians do...

I've been known to use eh. It's better than "like... emmm"

This debate is useless as only you and me lived at that time.

Haha I just realised I wrote "lived" but meant "posted". I'll leave it there cause it's funny.

Ironically, I have.

AND, ladies and gents, I've thrown one, and got it to return. I hit my dad's van, and only did it once, but damn it, I did it!
