Adult Pre School opens in Brooklyn, NY

Personnel:

Timewalker: Rules and Regs
Fun will now commence. :cool:

Ok, I tried to be a careful and critical reader of those links above, and what I think I understand is that, from now on, our discourse is going to become a lot simpler.

List of Allowed Conversational Words/Phrases Between People:

Hello, How are you?
I am well. ("fine" might imply an appearance judgement)

Have a good day.
You have a good day, too.
Actually, the phrase "How are you?" does annoy me if it's obvious that the person asking doesn't really give a damn.

As for "have a nice day"... I was not impressed to find that at the bottom of the receipt from my vet, when the reason for the payment was to euthanize my cat.

Don't visit Ireland then, it's used as a form of hello by most of the population there it seems and I used to respond with telling them how I was.
 
I prefer American beer to be honest. I used to travel around the US for work a lot and it was a treat to try out all the local breweries. Craft beer is becoming more popular here, with the hipster movement. But America still has the edge as far as I'm concerned.

That whole thing about Canada having good beer is just a dumb commercial.
 
Canada *does* have good beer. It's one of the many, many reasons I love Canada so much.

Last spring, when I vacationed in Toronto for a week, after I checked into my hotel and unpacked I found myself in the hotel bar eating POUTINE :drool: , watching hockey, and drinking Labatt Blue. I was thoroughly indoctrinated. :lol:

(srsly, I wish I could get Blue down here, I love it!)
 
Yes like practically everything else called "stout". Guinness is a fine kinda dark tasting beer, but it's no stout. Stout has real flavour.

But no, it's not liquid garbage if you stop thinking of it as stout and think of it as a fairly plain beer.
 
Given those prices, this is clearly an activity for Bored Rich White People.

"If you're rich enough, then I'm smart enough... to take your money." :techman:
How is "where are you from" aggression?
Aside from the videos referenced, it can be aggressive depending on tone of voice and the context.

There's a considerable difference between a few friendly questions that give a person time to answer and have those answers accepted, and a relentless interrogation where the questioner is openly skeptical of the answers.
Or, it could be that some people are reading waaaayyyy too much into a simple post. To me, phycho-analyzing here is the same as attacking the poster instead of the post. :vulcan:
