Welcome back, Hotster!

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 02-18-2007, 02:56 AM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!! Thank you!!!! I'm so happy to see you all again, too!!! *gives you each a churro*

I asked AS and ESSDEE often about you all!!!

I'm feeling fantastic... albeit very tired which is to be expected when you journey into the future and miss an entire day in your life!!

I was telling ESSDEE about a couple of the things that I thought you might also like to know... like me calling out "Hummer" whenever I saw one to AS!!! ...Because they are really an odd vehichle!!

How I tried to make a snow-angel and just ended up with a wet bottom... and when we went toboganning... uhh sledding... I asked if we have to hire the sleds but the woman just stared at me, until AS told her I meant rent them. RENT-HIRE... same thing, you know!!!

DRIVING THROUGH RED LIGHTS IS JUST WRONG!!!!!!! RED MEANS DANGER AND STOP!!!! However, turning right means you can drive through a red light in LA... it made my heart rate double at times, I'm sure... XD

Watching contrails at sunrise... and then wondering what was burning in the atmosphere!!! Yes... vivid imagination...

Asking what the numbers for petrol meant... but it's gas... I never did find out what the numbers meant, because we went off on a tangent talking about birds... petrels... you know how it is when you talk with a faerie... and the numbers are most likely the octane rating, right? XD

Anyways... enough for now. I'll go through my camera tomorrow and resize a few photos for you if any of you'd like to see what caught my attention.

It's like nostalagia smacked me in the face. THE LETTER U IS NOT YOUR ENEMY, AMERICA!

Also, Missy, I'm sure people would be just as confused if they were brought here and asked to do a hook turn.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 02-19-2007, 12:50 AM

Yeah, having AYEEYE here has been eye-opening as to how different things are for him, Kargath!!

The other thing I found difficult to adjust to is US coins have no numeral denomination on them... and I was so distracted by everything, that I couldn't work it out quickly... which amused a couple of checkout girls, watching me count out loud and trying to remember which was five and which was ten... and they have twenty-five instead of twenty. And their notes are the same colour no matter what amount. BAH!!!!

Truly though, it was the most awesome time ever and I can't wait to do it all over again!!!

[EDIT: Just waiting for my batteries to recharge since I can't find my spares for my camera!!]

**March of the Covenant** · 02-19-2007, 06:37 AM

Yeah, but the notes have numbers on them stating their worth.

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-19-2007, 08:49 AM

The numbers on gasoline pumps are the octane levels.
Welcome back! (Your dreams were your ticket out.)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Bah, my dad was driving them in Okinawa long before they were really popular.

So, when are you coming to Illinois, woman? We've got some cool things...like, Abraham Lincoln's tomb, his house, his hat, his presidential library...Barack Obama...

Ah, who am I kidding? If California were your cool cousin who had a motorcycle and brought you candy everytime he visited, Illinois would be the nerdy one with a paper clip collection and brought asthma.

Yes, but it's much easier to see in an instant what a note is worth if all the values have different colours. Whenever I see money in an American movie or TV show I can never tell how much it is, because it's all green.

Chunky Kong12345 · 02-19-2007, 10:48 AM

You can tell by the dead person.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-19-2007, 12:23 PM

All ya'll presidents (and foundin' fathers) look alike.

**Kargath** · 02-19-2007, 10:24 PM

If I remember correctly size ordering worked too, even when you include silver dollars.

(ex coin collector here)

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-20-2007, 02:22 AM

^^^^Bah, you crazy Europeans and your Monopoly money.

^Size ordering doesn't work here; dimes are smaller than pennies & nickels.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Koga · 02-20-2007, 12:03 PM

Size and dead presidents still don't help if you want to know at first glance. When I take a look in my wallet I can immediately see how many grey, red blue, or orange notes are in there (never anything higher than 50).

Also, on TV and in movies you usually don't get to see the money up close.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-20-2007, 12:11 PM

Really, the only benefit that Amerikan money has is that they have cool names. Like, you get stopped before going into a bar by a bouncer, and then you say "Well, I think my friend Lincoln has something to say about that. <wink> And... um, he's backed up by the Washington twins."

This. Although I have different colours. Green, Tan (Brown/Red), Purple.

**March of the Covenant** · 02-20-2007, 12:25 PM

^^My friend Franklin talks a lot more than your friend Lincoln.

**Dylan** · 02-20-2007, 02:57 PM

"Wow! Look at all that pink and purple!"
"Our money sure is gay..."

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-20-2007, 02:59 PM

^^ Not if my friend Ms. Sacagawea has anything to say about it!
