"Saskatchewan is much like Texas- except it's more friendly to the United States" - Adlai E. Stevenson

heh. the province birthed Canadian socialism. if only Americans knew.

I don't think Stevenson considered that a detriment.

Cheyenne IS the urban capital of Wyoming too!  It has 50k people!

We have a lack of horses, but otherwise you've described the Yukon Territory. :cool:

With that caveat, it also describes the inside of a coffin.

I think the most memorable part of the whole gameday experience were the Meth ads on the Jumbotron.

It did not go well.  Valmy refused to eat the food as it was meant to be served.  He did make a go at it, but I am certain I heard him mutter under his breath "Thees ees sheet, take eet back."  The waitress, recognizing a radical, found it hard to deal with him.  I felt embarrassed for the whole situation, and made sure I tipped her well so that she would know I empathized with her plight as a modern types facing a barbarian memory.

Zat slob you call food was a disgrace to cuisine Texain! :angry:

Personally, I consider it a faux pas to take someone from out of town to a restaurant that matches their cultural identity.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I've actually always been interested in the "local take" on American cuisine.  In the UK and Italy I found everything matched perfectly, aside from some of the weird sandwiches the McDonalds in Genoa offered.

In truth, seeing as how Valmy is from Austin, to match his cultural identity I would have had to taken him to a vegan restaurant - thank god those are illegal in Wyoming.

It would say "METH!!!! for, oh, a minute and a half...then say "not even once" for about 2 seconds...
