Does... does that mean you would eat me? It's not worth it. I guarantee you that I taste awful, and am too skinny to suffice for a decent soup.

I'm standing guard; not stalking... this thread.

Anyway, welcome! Too bad you're not a girl.

You... don't... like... Italian food??? Shocked
That's so un-American. Everyone likes Italian food.
I'd say that 60% of what I eat I consider Italian (if you count salads).
I haven't had an egoist lately though.

And you shouldn't! After all, I'm so egoist that I might take over your body even by the slightest fragment inhaled.

You clearly do not work for Pizza Hut.

Anyway, a Hawaii-style welcome to GriffN, and a Siberia-style welcome to ZakuAce. Too bad neither of you is a 50 feet high Gundam, otherwise I'd pilot you to the moon. "To the moon", you hear?

Now, run along little rabbits. Just beware of the hunters hiding behind the bushes! Oops, too late.

Pale as Casper and have red hair. If you say you have freckles next then I say some Irish snuck into your gene pool lol. Maybe some French ancestors took a trip to Ireland and brought home a souvenir lol.

Wouldn't that technically make them so un-Italian? Razz Being totally un-American would be saying I don't like McDonalds lol. Guess I'm not American then myself...crap. Though I do agree Italian food is just heaven. And it's so varied despite what people think. I mean it's not just spaghetti and meatballs or pasta. The food really varies from region to region. What you get in the north say around Turin and Milan varies drastically from say the middle regions of say San Marino and Naples. Once you hit the southern ends on the Mediterranean like Cosenza and Siciliy (though Sicilians would say they're Sicilian, not Italian lol) and the islands like Corsica seafood is very prominent. Italy is one of the countries, along with say India for another example, with the most varied culinary menus from region to region. *looks around*....I went off on a culinary ramble didn't I? Sorry...happens often. Back to matters at hand!

A big ANN welcome to our newest group of posters to introduce themselves! So welcome GriffN, PaniPoni61, ZakuAce, and [J]ac__Sama. Jac gets extra points for having an Asa avatar. You can come hang with the cool kids now Jac lol. I suppose I should continue with my welcome shtick and amuse myself. So as part of your welcome here you guys get your very own mystery welcome bag of goodies. *hands them each a brown paper bag* Inside you'll all find a handful of crusts from some old stale loaves of bread, a half eaten container of activia yogurt, a 4x4 inch piece of a map of Hungary, and 3 baht. Enjoy your fine gifts and your stay here and don't forget these words of wisdom;If I wanted to hear from an ass, I would fart.

Well considering the fact that the closest thing I've ever gotten to a tan is my normal freckles being a slight shade darker I do agree that somewhere along there was a rendezvous between them French and Irish haha. I only know for sure I'm somewhat French because of my last name, but who knows what else is in there. And by there I mean me. Or maybe there is referring to those pesky chromosomes or chromatids-what have you. Anyway...

Welcome to GriffN, PaniPoni61, ZakuAce, and [J]ac__Sama! And I apologize if I left anyone out, I was too lazy to go back a page or two, heh heh.
