"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Dude. The government Rickrolled Noriega before Rickrolling existed!

I want to hug this way of putting it!

Also, I have been super competent and productive today. I can go home now, right? (I probably will in about 45 min anyway).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm overhearing a conversation where a guy is saying that Tibet is part of China because the food is similar.

And then he says he's never had Tibetan food.

Sometimes I wonder if people can hear themselves.

You people are very smart. Thank you for the sanity check!

Got curious, considering Nepalese and Bhutanese food are closer to Indian than chinese, and the first line in wikipedia:

Tibetan cuisine, is quite distinct from that of its neighbours, since only a few crops (not including rice) grow at such high altitude.

Does this mean we have to give Alaska back to Canada?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tibet is part of China because the food is similar.

So every time I step into a Taco Bell, I'm in Mexican territory?

(OK, there's a bad assumption in there....)

Sometimes I think some people are those aliens Douglas Adams wrote about who have to talk all the time to drown out the telepathy.

What is Canadian food? Or do they just eat a lot of Canadian bacon in Alaska?

You can't make us take the Palins! We won't do it.
