What's your country's "national" specialty that is mostly exported?

I've never associated BPs with huge portions.

Incedentally I was amused that during the Vancouver-Boston Stanley Cup series BPs was advertising on the rink boards with the word "Boston" stroked out, and calling themself Vancouver Pizza instead.

I dunno, whenever I've been to BP the portions have been big. It's a sort of somewhat upscale "strap the pizza feedbag on the whole family" kinda place. 

Not, admittedly, to the degree of Montana's. That place is just obscene in terms of the amount of food they lay out.   

there used to be a place like that in Quebec city, in the 80s, a restaurant with mega-huge plates.  Went bankrupt in the end, they were probably in advance of their time.

You seem to be lacking in this department lately though. Ages since I heard of any serious cases of hooliganism.

Man, I can totally read French.  I'm putting that on my resume.  Of course it won't matter because I never raped a Pathan girl in the Khyber Pass.

Then you have never really lived.

Just sour grapes; I received a rejection letter from the SSA indicating that they're not even looking at applicants who don't have a veteran's preference.

Seems kinda in bad taste now.

Just sour grapes because I lack veteran's preference, and hence was not referred for consideration for a job.

I understood. Cross reference your complaint in the OTT thread.

I mean, I sort of get it, it's part of the compensation you get for agreeing to maybe be shot at.  In retrospect, I think it might have been far more profitable to gamble the other possibility, that of getting paid to dick around in Barksdale or wherever for four years, than leverage years of future earnings that now seem very remote for a J.D.

But of course there are a lot of personal choices and mistakes that cloud that particular scrying pool.

You know there is a way to fix that problem...

Technically, I suppose, although I'm rather old for the military (albeit not for the JAG offices).  Still, that's how Colonel Kurtz got started, you know.  Ten years from now, I'd be hacking off insurgent limbs and leaving them in big piles in the village square, or at least giving bad advice on the legality thereof.

But Kurtz turned out to be right.  He was the prophet of the professional military.

RE: writing "fuck" on your airplane.

Question presented
Can you write "fuck" on your airplane?

Brief answer
You can't, because it's obscene.

[DGuller]

Not only is it obscene, but it also encourages people to do obscene things in public.

EDIT:  Bah, Ide edited his "fuck on your airplane".
