Clickteam Chatroom

[davidn]

I think it's fair to say that this is the scariest thing to have ever happened in the Clickteam chatroom.

<DavidN> $60 here, I think.
<Tinnysp1n> i dunno why you yanks complain about prices lol
* DavidN is not a yank
* DavidN has never been a yank
* DavidN never will be a yank

I actually forgot to mention that I'd put up yet another quotelog for it a while ago. It's a great laugh in there, let me tell you. (It says there are six waiting to be added, but in reality there are six languishing in the submit queue because they're too rubbish to add and I haven't written a mechanism for those yet short of hitting the Delete button.)

Does your darling wife know you have such feelings of divestitude towards her country?

Oh, and do you get a vote in the US elections???

[davidn]

Yes, she is regularly on the receiving end of it. They don't have the right cornflakes and the bread is the wrong shape.

I'm not absolutely sure about the vote. I think it only comes with citizenship, but I could be wrong.

Wait, what? The bread is the wrong shape? The US has many flaws, but the bread I bought in Tesco is exactly the same shape as the bread I buy in Kroger. You crazy.

Mind sending me some? The stuff here is oblong and strangely gelatinous. I miss squares. :(

I miss Scottish Pride Plain Bread :(

I'm confused. Do you mean the loaves are oblong or the slices? And honestly, gelatinous?? What kind of bread are you buying? I often bought this (http://www.warburtons.co.uk/our_products/bread/seeded.html) in Scotland, and I buy this (http://arnold.gwbakeries.com/product.cfm/upc/7341001385) here, and as far as I can tell or remember, the shape isn't really different. Maybe you're just buying the wrong bread.

[davidn]

I think I might be. It's called Country White, and is loaded with so many preservatives that it takes on a texture that is approaching glutinous. (I think that white bread is considerably more deadly here than it is in Scotland - I never grew into brown bread or anything healthy like that.)

See, your first mistake is buying white bread. But if you insist on eating that swill, your best bet is to buy Sara Lee Honey White bread.

Are you not becoming a citizen?

Yeah, voting is only with citizenship-- HOWEVER, the big controversy is that it is possible to vote without citizenship because some states do not require proof of citizenship to register to vote or on the day of the vote. They require proof of identity, which is not the same thing. I don't suggest you try to get registered because you could get caught and get in trouble, but it has been done by scores of others.
