27,

They are also sometimes called Shanghai dumplings.

Banned,

USA!!!!!!

Are the Americans cheating the Canadians out of a medal?

Not in that event.

So it turns out that I’m actually going to be where lapka lives, more or less, next week. So I asked her to meet me for coffee and take-out dumplings. She told me she would prefer to run away to Khazakstan.

Run away to Kazakhstan with you?

Billy Graham and George Michael: both men of faith, both very famous. Hard to compare the two!

Alas, no — she indicated she would prefer to run to Khazakstan to avoid meeting me.

I'll bet she thought MLYLT hacked your account. That's the only logical explanation.

Trip Advisor suggests that Big Almaty Lake is kind of nice. Perhaps she’s going to take in the sights!

Crime rates in Khazakstan look pretty reasonable, though, so her escape plan appears to be pretty safe.

Boo this woman!

Let’s be gentlemanly here, Yak! I still like lapka despite her vicious and wholesale rejection of me in in favor of Khazakstan. I’ve been rejected before, plenty of times. But never before for a country that has among the lowest population densities in the world. I could understand getting rejected for, say, Tokyo — but Khazakstan? OOT is looking on in horror.

I did get kind of a serial killer vibe from Howard's talktube thing. Better safe than sorry.

Yes!!! Just look at this blatant dive by the disgusting Anerican cheaters, which thankfully the refs didn't call ​

Today I learned that sign language is different country to country. That seems so wild to me for some reason and I don’t know why. I always assumed there was an international consensus but apparently not. Signs used in the US can mean completely different things from signs used in the UK, for example.

I agree, that hit is gross to look at. That girl needs to skate with her head up, embarrassing to put herself in that position.

The mods are especially limp-dicked lately eh. Holy **** why are all of the one garbage person threads still open?

I know where you live, LBR.

Nice try. I don't live anywhere.

I'm not sure why that is surprising. Every time I see it referenced in USA#1 it's called ASL (American Sign Language).

That’s not what lapka tells me.

lbr - I met Howard and he didn't kill me. Unless this is Howard posting under chop's account.

Rexx - you don't need to know any shooters to harvest kangaroo, you just need a car.

Howard - since lapka rejected you, come to Malawi. I won't drink lolcoffee but we can have dumplings. Lots of Indian food here as well, but they call them samoosas not samosas.


The use of the phrase "ethnic food" is soooo tilting.

OOT's Sweetheart Villian1 has texted me and let me know that he just forgot his password. He is also enjoying bulgogi as his initial foray into Korean cuisine. He is confirmed alive, although... well... better let him tell the story.

Chop,

I need to be in Munich for reasons other than taking lapka to coffee and kidnapping her. So unfortunately, no Malawi. Although my trip to Europe is related to a case I have for a company in South Africa, and there is a fifty-fifty chance I’ll have to go there this year.

Damn Howard, living the life.

Yak - if you eat all the cherrytomaatjes on your plate, you can grow up to be big and strong like Howard, too.
