It's important to note that "Padres" is Spanish for "Fathers" - the name is in reference to the missionaries who founded the city.

It's not going as fast as it used to but it's still going nonetheless.

I would guess the Vikings are from Minnesota since the state has a high proportion of people with Scandinavian heritage.

Hey Skim.

Hey Larks, fix your number.

Yeah, I think it's because of all the Scandinavians living in Minnesota, eh? Detroit Tigers are the Tigers because there used to be a military unit stationed in Detroit whose nickname was the Tigers. Ohio State Buckeyes are called the Buckeyes because that's Ohio's state tree. I'm not really sure why Michigan State uses the Spartan as their mascot, aside from Spartans being total badasses.

My high school mascot was the Vikings (they even stole the NFL team's logo). Vikings have no more to do with Connecticut than they do with Minnesota, but the Vikings were an expansion team the year the school opened. Dumb reason to choose it, but what better reason do you want? The other high school in town is the Black Knights. So perhaps in a way the two make logical rivals.

NYU's old mascot is the silliest ever, though. They're the BobCats now, but they used to be the Violets. Yes, they had a guy running around dressed like a giant flower, That's NYU for ya.

I seem to be becoming less of a recluse nowadays. I've been going out at least once a week for the past 3 weeks. Compared to the last time I stayed inside (I missed the beginning of spring) I'd say that's an improvement.

"The real world? Is that some kind of expansion pack?"

It always amazes me the diversity of exotic ethnic cuisine you can find in New York City. A friend of mine who's a bit of a foodie was talking to me today about going out for Ethiopian food. Which is fascinating - I didn't know they had food in Ethiopia!

[Charlie_Zane 963]

New York has a lot of different things to offer to everyone's likings.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

7849

I went to Toronto while I was a college student like 8 years ago (*sigh*), and there were a bunch of my classmates talking about the great Ethiopian restaurant they found. There were a couple my wife and I passed in Tokyo while we were living there, but we never had a desire to check it out. Thai and sushi/sashimi are about all the "exotic" my taste in food needs.

[Duke87 1,070]

There are some things I try to keep an open mind about. Food is not one of them. Part of what prevents me from traveling abroad is my inability to stomach the strange food they eat in other parts of the world.

Slowness is low.

[Charlie_Zane 963]

7852

I think I'm the same, I can't eat anything i'm not used to, any overseas foods (like thai) makes me feel weird.

[Duke87 1,070]

(7853)

Athletes from the various countries of Southeast Asia got together to compete in a marathon. Who won? It was a Thai.

[RipRap 4,400]

7854

Just eat it! Many foods are delicious and healthy for you (except fast food)

Fast foods, they are good if your in a hurry, but the only fast food chain i like is Subway

[Ocram's Razr 964]

7856

Thai food is delicious!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

We became friends with the couple who own a Thai restaurant in my hometown. We would eat there a few times a week when we lived there and talk with them, it was always nice. I like to try new stuff, and in the last year I've tried so many new foods I can't remember them all (many of them were forgettable, though). Still, there are some old standbys that I'd rather eat than try something new, like Reece's Peanut Butter Cups or pizza.

[Charlie_Zane 963]

7858

It must have just been that particular thai restaurant that made me feel wired then. I'm going out to dinner at a thai place sometime this week, so i'll see if it was just that one restaurant

I've been sitting here for minutes and can't seem to come up with a workable pun. How long did that one take you, astronelson?
