I wish I had a joke about drinking problems...
On stupid_free, [info]gridlore posts link to an account of an occasion where he, quote, "met rudeness with snark". Specifically, some black girl didn't want to sit next to anyone, tried to make him give up his seat-with an empty one next to him-and he made fun of her in a very House-like way. Everyone hastens to call BS. Incidentally, all little old ladies speak English, and GridLore doesn't get to complain because [info]thexphial's Jewish ancestors were lynched.

Please, no Irishbashing.
EDIT: Personally, I would've just gone "Yes." and kept on eating my Vanilla Frosty. Now at Wendy's!

I am 100% behind ogling tall buildings. I'm going to NYC again this summer to do that (and well, other stuff too).

I've been to Canada a couple times before too, just Toronto. Nice place though. :)

I'm required by law to tell you that Toronto is EVUL! EVUL! I'm a Westerner, it's in our constitution. ;)

I really do want to go to NYC at some point. And New Orleans. And back to Seattle, now that I'm all grown up and stuff. Oh, and Washington! And...

Damn it, I'm in AUSTRALIA! Stop tempting me with your forest of tall buildings, I'm *busy*! :)

The only other place in Canada I've been is Montreal, but it was very brief so I didn't really get time to know it. :( What other places in Canada would you suggest I visit next time I'm there? I like finding out about town rivalries (I'm from Cork, thus I think Dublin is a hole, for example), hahaha.

NYC lures me in every time. I'm in love with it. I've been twice (once as a kid in '98, again in '02) and I can't wait to go back again. I don't know what it is about it. I guess it's just so huge and different from anything I know over here. :)

Australia! Fine for some, eh? I haven't been there either. One day!

I'm loving it. If I hadn't already pledged my eternal love to Edinburgh, I'd consider living here forever. Their definition of whether is based around heat! And sun!

Hmm... I'm from Alberta, which I love. Shitty politics, beautiful place. Check out Banff and Jasper. Edmonton is a beautiful city as well, although there's only limited things to do there.

The Maritimes are nice, but I've only been to Halifax. In Winter. During a blizzard. But it looked nice!

Montreal is best visited in the summer, and for one reason: the food. It's incredibly easy to find delicious, cheap food in Montreal, and in the summer, there are loads of little cafes all over the place with outside teraces. Oh, and apparently we've got fashion and the Jazz festival and the Film festival as well, but I'm not as familiar with those. Um. But they're also in the summer! :D

The Maritimes are also a wonderful place in the summer, as long as you like whale watching and lots of scenery. I'm not familiar with the city side of the place, but from what I rmeember there's lots of small (lovely) towns, and tourism is a big thing there.

I wand to stand up for Toronto and tell you I had a wonderful time on vacation there and the Royal Museum of Natural History (I think) is awesome and wonderful.

I had two very nice natives show me around- always a plus.

Niagra Falls on the other hand; let's just say there's culture... and then there's the weird half-alive things that grow in petri dishes.

I must admit, last time I was in Toronto I fell in love with the Royal Ontario Museum. :)
