We all know, and know well...
We all know that China is not in Thailand. You have put me on "Ignore" because you have been writing silly things.
As one other example:
Quote:
I've looked up your "Nancie" with Google and am convinced I was eating Hainanese Chicken Rice before she was born.
Well, that's an interesting statement! You might want to look up her website:
http://www.nanciemcdermott.com/thailand.htm
There, she clearly states that she went to Thailand as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1975. Hmm, I went to Tunisia as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1978.
Assuming roughly similar age trajectories, Nancie was about 20-22 when she went to Thailand. In 1975.
Now comes the math part, which might be too hard. Her Peace Corps service date marks her birthdate as "around" 1943.
And you are convinced that you were eating this dish before she was born? That is to say, you were chowing down on Hainanese Chicken before, say, 1943?
Were you eating it as a toothless babe? Or as a young adult? Are you trying to tell us, 555, that you were born in 1923, or what?
That would make you 82 years old, and a prime candidate for the sort of mental jiujitsu you have been performing so far. "Offer a stupid argument, follow it with a second, stupider argument, and then scream 'Oh shut up!' "
