    I had to ask someone about Poutine to know more about it. They want to make some for me to eat now :lol .
    First thing I thought of was "putang" when I heard Poutine on the podcast. Didnt know what that ment ethier though (heard it somewhere years ago), until I just searched it. Oh slang...

    I worked Wal-Mart on Black Friday, but for me it was actually kind of boring. I was pretty much just cleaning up in the hardware section, and telling customers every five minutes that I don't know where sale items were, or their price. There was apparently a fist fight between two guys over the last $1.50 towel, but I didn't get to see that.

    I bought one thing right after I clocked out. The Nemesis Huffer and Undertow PCC value pack. I had planned on maybe spending a bit more, but Target kind of screwed that up the day before. Turns out it was the last day of a special deal on the Wii. The black Wii with New Super Mario Bros. Wii for $149, and you get a free copy of Skyward Sword.

    Poutine looks awful to me, mainly because I hate gravy.

    Loved hearing Gog's Botcon story. We had a guy just like that in high school, and hearing that story really made me chuckle.

    My craziest Botcon story happened on the flight home just this year. Long story short, ended up sharing an armrest with a certain Saturday Night Live legend turned US Senator the entire flight home to MN. Let me tell you, nothing kills a conversation with a Senator quicker than telling him you were visiting LA for a robot doll convention! :lol  However, I recovered quickly and ended up having a nice chat off and on for the rest of the flight. Definitely not something I expected to be part of my Botcon 2011 experience!


    Keep up the good work guys! Your efforts are always appreciated!

    Oh man that's rad. I would have been having to bite my tongue to keep from pestering him the whole flight with questions about SNL.

    90 days?!? I hope that's only for a major vacation, cause that's insane. Knowing you need one random night off for a poker game or a recital or a whatever 3 months ahead of time is ludicrous. I work at Target and we only need roughly 3 weeks notice, since the schedule is made 2 weeks in advance.

    As much as I love my Chili cheese fries... Poutine is by far better. Perhaps it's the Canadien in me that says it... but the cheese and gravy combination is a great compliment compared to chili which typically over powers the fries. I will say though, since living in California... Super Fries (Carne Asada Fries) have topped the charts.

    Fries + Guac + Sour Cream + Cheese + Carne Asada = Awesome

    I still wish I had a place around me that had poutine.

    For vacations, period. I can still get time off through other means, but it's a pain in the ass to do so.

    I've only been to one Botcon so far, and the only interesting thing was there was this guy I kept running into, nearly every day of the convention. First, he was in line behind me in the package pick up line. Then the next day, I ended up right behind him in the dealer room line. The day after that, I met him again while watching the faction feud. We had a good chuckle about constantly running into each other.
