What? Can't you spell anchovy? :AH-HA_wink:

off the hook

Santa Ana winds

You're in big trouble now, Chargerino!

That's a Guido. Or a Gino to Canadians. We don't have any of that out West. Italians are assimilated out here. Yep, gel and wife beaters...bad news! BTW, was that Woodbridge? I thought they liked big American cars...I think of a Guido driving a Monte Carlo SS, a Grand Prix, a 'maro or an FBird....that's standard issue, just like those sandals people from India are born with.

We're not going to go through this again!

say no to drugs

Oh, brother!Read what I said up above -- that you HAVE a personality, now do you get it?

fixation

Germans are a riot...they can be so direct and brusque. Travelling on Lufthansa will confirm that - don't mess with the flight crew!

You mean you're NOT African American? J/k.

Italian (100%) - both parents from the region of Sicily (last names, however, point to Northern Italian ancestry for Dad and Sicilian background for Mom)

Scandinavians are stereotyped as being neutral, aseptic and not having a lot of outward displays of personality or emotion...that's how most Europeans from other countries see them from what I gather. A lot of it comes from the persistently $h!ty weather up there. It's always cloudy...just like Seattle. They also tend to have a higher than average incidence of alcoholism, probably as a result of that. I've only changed planes in Scandinavia (at Copenhagen) and looking out the window, I'll keep it at that. Beach, sunshine, good food, in your face people....those are all SOUTH of there. Got it, Charge?

Y O M O M M A.

repetition

I was in line at the airport in Athens to cross back to Italy before coming back to the States and there was a guy from Kuwait in line next to me. He spoke English fairly well and started talking to me. He said that their country is actually very progressive and that it would not be at all uncomfortable for a tourist and that I should make the trek...so this info about Dubai, with all of its wealth, does not surprise me.

Wait, Chargerino, you're mostly Scandinavian, and you have such an out-there personality? Perhaps we shouldn't stereotype.

wishful thinking

That's fine...not interested in Communism. :AH-HA_wink: Seriously, though, I always used to take out-of-towners to Vancouver when I lived in Seattle. Their jaws unfailingly dropped and I knew all the panorama points to get that reaction. Then I would tell them: "Ok, keep in mind, this is Canada's Miami." That put it in perspective.

expensive (hobby-helicopter skiing, that is)

wishful thinking (don't go to Lake Tahoe for skiing much anymore, but more so for the beach and the BOOOOFFETS at the casinos)

You too. What's the deal? Do all of the Polish guys on the site live in Canada? Seems like it. Yet there are no Toronto Italians on the site and Toronto is caked with them.

Let me clarify an earlier comment....a European Lumina without the Lumina's fairly decent reliability.

ski bum

It has vestiges of old Corvette, but the dash shapes are nice. The seats look too sculpted and slim, alienating many mainline Malibu buyers. However, the cloth HAS to be better than what they currently feature.
