Kabob? Christ I know some of the folks in Halifax are dense but that's new to me. It's pretty much what you guys call a gyro if I recall correctly only it has a different sauce and you can get spicy pepperoni on it as well as onions, tomatoes and that sort of stuff. Yeah, poutine, while it is Canadian is only truly enjoyed in Quebec I guess.
Did you have Keith's or Moosehead at all? Both of those are made in Halifax, that and some of the pubs downtown have micro-breweries that aren't as well known but have some pretty awesome suds. Labatts is sort of our "cheap" brand around here.
Keith's was all right. The whole Red beer thing was all right. I was not so wild about Moosehead - it reminds me of bland Heineken for some reason. I went to a few of the microbreweries. Rogues' Roost was good. There was a little upscale lounge called Minstrels that was nice as well. Also a hotel restaurant called Sage I think.
I did really like the local L'Acadie Blanc white wine. It was tart and dry and delicious. Perfect for warm weather.
Maybe I am wrong about the kabob part. I think I am confusing that iwth a friend in California who likes donair kabob. I like gyro and would probably like donair as well, though the Canadian fascination with pepperoni (including fried pepperoni!) is strange to me.
Pan-fried pepperoni is great. Cook it and have a little honey mustard on the side and...*drools*
Yeah but J you seem to attribute moaning to manipulation because "she may be faking" so I don't trust your definition
True. However, consider the following statement / question and the three possible replies.
Guy: I like you. I would like to date you. Would you like to date me?
A) Yes No
C) I am not ready to date right now, I am taking time off from dating in order to find myself and work on some things in my own life. But, in the future I might want to date you and I can see that working. For the moment, however, I just want friendships.
To me, C seems to be vaguely evil or, at least, open to the interpretation of its being evil.
I have put forth a great amount of effort to make my intentions to date known to this girl and to try and enforce those intentions through action. She seems to be containing all of this intention to "things friends do" without focusing upon future implications towards dating or exclusivity. So if I help her grade tests, give her backrubs, cook dinner with her, or snuggle with her we each seem to have different interpretations:
Her - These are fun things friends do.
Me - These are fun things individuals who are interested in dating do.
So, within this particular context, in discerning whether or not this girl is "evil" my question regards the true meaning to C. Is that a verbose way of saying "no" or a way of maintaining the utility she gets out of this relationship by feigning an interest in me?
I think she is interested to some degree. She does not hate me; she likes hanging out with me. But with regard to the question of futurity she can offer no solid answer except "I am not ready to date". Which is fine; I am willing to wait. But I really do not want to wait three months only to get a call one day from her saying "I found a hot guy; fuck you."
That would be shitty and EVIL.
If she will not give a yes or no I would like some means of discerning the degree to which the reply she gives is evil.
Ah, you stopped in Lunenburg. It's on the south shore of the province. I grew up in Annapolis Royal which is right by the Bay of Fundy and about 2 hours from Halifax. Yarmouth is a dump. Nobody really likes it there. I've only been there twice myself.
I hear the Bay of Fundy was cool but we were too hung over most of the time to get our shit together enough to actually drive somewhere.
I walked around the boardwalk looking at the cruise ship and some townie kid was trying to pull some kind of strange scam on me and Frankie. I think he was just trying to sell a tour one of his buddies did, but he kept insisting that he was from New York even though he knew nothing about New York and talked like a fucking leprechaun.
It's a better drive on the New Brunswick side but if you drove down past Digby you could see it really well. They do whale watching there in the summer and it's quite a sight to behold.
Sadly Halifax has had a bit of a problem over the past couple of years with teens beating up folks in the downtown area. Swarming's become a concern and now they've got...fuck if I can remember the name of them. Some group that they have in Boston or something that wear red commando hats or something stupid like that.

Force her to say yes. Next time, ask this question: "If I were to ask you on a date, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?"

*snaps fingers* That was it. Thank you. Yes, they are considered a joke here as well. Basically all the ones that joined are the types of people who failed their military tests for violent tendencies or figure they are at par with the police. *eyeroll*

Man it just sounds awful. Frankie was fascinated with it because she loves honey-mustard but she's still not eating red meat and was really hung up about her diet when we were there anyways.
I hate honey-mustard and fried pepperoni just sounds like too much to me.

A) Yes No

I was always under the impression that C was basically a girl's way to politely reject a guy.
But that could just be me.

it did not go over well with the regional police, who said outright that they would classify them as a gang and bust them under regional laws about "gang colors"

If you eat slowly then you'll feel full faster and end up eating less.

A Donner Kebab is what you eat when your group of immigrant families gets their covered wagons trapped by a snowstorm in the Sierra Nevadas.
You guys are thinking of Döner. That's spit-roasted lamb, which you eat on a kebab or in gyros
It's delicious! Seriously it's something you should try.

Like wiggerness, but awesome.
Meh. Regional spellings. Here I always see it spelled as donner or doner.

Because African heritage gives the impression of credibility on a host of issues that DB has terrible opinions on.

dude, that is just normal goddamn human bounded rationality and inability to know the future and she is just hedging her bets on this one
also her concept of what behavior means is understandably not going to line up with yours
EVIL it is not, bitchy maybe, indecisive definitely, overly cautious perhaps, evil, no

I find that highly unlikely.
