You know how many times I've resisted LDB RIckrolling you guys?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

You know, my across-the-aisle cube neighbor got Rickrolled a few weeks back, and not only was she all flustered that her computer was playing music, she didn't know the song or that Rickrolling was a thing. That made me feel old.

I'm talking to a Canadian on the phone. I did not know they actually say "Yup, you betcha."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's so cool when it turns out a cliche is real.

Canadians pretty much say everything people think they do. Ask one to say "The moose is loose about the house" sometime.
Oh, the denial! I think I laughed for six years.
Then again, I say "no problem" an awful lot.

I thought Rickrolling resurrected the song for a new generation and further.

Of course, the entire Canadian nation may be playing a practical joke on us. A more civilized response to the South Park movie.

So did I! Maybe not further enough.
Have "wrapped" my secret Santa gift in a plain brown paper bag. Fuck it, I don't care. I said I didn't want to do a gift exchange. Still need to make my dish for the potluck. Don't wanna.

Well, my knowledge started from 1987 (I won't count the 1970-1973 Ontario period).
Is Kat here, or anyone who can answer Hawaii questions? I am reading a fic with a lot of white people talking like native Hawaiians, and calling mainlanders haole. I thought all white people in Hawaii were haole, though. Is this a "brother from another mother" situation?
Someone on IO9 asked people to talk about their furthest move. Mine's 4k+ miles, from Jamaica to London, which is easily beaten by just about anyone that moved to the East, but my father moving from Jamaica to Russia is pretty impressive. And my total mileage is relatively high. One of the posters, in her late 20s, has never moved, even house, and is quite boggled by us all. She's Romanian.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My longest move is 16,552 km, which is apparently about 40% of the earth's circumference. So that's nice.

Hubby lived on the North Shore for several years in the 70s, and I think he said haole was used for tourists or new people.
