This dude came up to me at a Thai restaurant and asked me

[xfer]

"What's Thai?"

i told him it meant from Thailand.

"Thailand? Is that in Africa?"

i told him no, it was in Asia, kind of near Vietnam (i figured he would know V'nam better than Laos or something).

he looked confused. looked at the menu. then scurried out.

he looked pretty well-dressed and well-educated! my companion said she thought he had a very slight German-like accent, but i didn't really pick up on that, so it must have been slight as hell.

wtg!

 

[mindspell]

Looks like he thought Vietnam was in Africa...

 

[minxnim]

that was me i was just fuckin with you.

also: i saw thai food up close for the first time yesterday. i gagged and retched and had to be escorted out of the restaurant for air.

 

[xfer]

but it's so good!

also: NOT AFRICAN

 

[minxnim]

so what is it, south american? (j/k)
i have issues with things that have too much sauce or are slimy. i got really grossed out. it was embarrassing too i tried to hide it.

hmm actually the failing of thai food (to me) is that it's not saucy enough. most of it is just steamed vegetables or grilled stuff with a little side dish of sauce. i like saucey shit (like INDIAN FOOD).

Anyone for greek cuisine? Moussakas and giros! I can eat little else. A friend tried to trick me into eating this horrible wonton soup from a chinese delivery thing and it smelled like wet dog and/or socks. We threw it away outside and none of our cats came even close to it. And we have some starved cats, man. 'Cause we're cruel.

Lebanese moussaka > Greek moussaka.

I dunno what kind of restaurants you're eating at, but most of the thai food I get is plenty saucy. i mean c'mon: thai curries.

 

[xfer]

oh, yeah, BESIDES the curries, i mean.

 

[xfer]

...which i love. Massamun!

 

[mindspell]

Thai soups == goooooood!

 

[xfer]

i had Bangkok duck with black, sticky sauce. YUM.

 

[NAD]

I love Thai food, African or not.

 

[xfer]

guys i really think this dude was an alien from another planet, walking among us. i was going to describe the Thai food by saying "it's KIND OF like Chinese food" to give him a point of reference and i really think he would have said, "What is this 'China'?"

 

[Nut Butter]

that just gave me goosebumps of excitement. I want to meet an alien

I lived in Thailand for a year... the food there is awsometastic.

 

[xfer]

how are the tranny hookers?

 

[xfer]

honestly, i bet the guy was just German or something and the German word for "thailand" is something COMPLETELY different, the way Germany has an utterly different name in different languages (Deutschland, Germany, Tyskland, etc.).

boring answer.

 

[jerkstore]

man I love thai food so much.

I'd kill for a bowl of green curry right now.

This place in hamilton near my old house had the best, freshest, sauciest food ever...everything came in these big bowls and was just floating in sauce. best thing ever.
