I got a good story about a buddy who went to Vietnam and ate some dog.

So he wanted to eat some dog, so he went to this one place and then crossed then went to another one across the street the nezt day and ate at another dog restaurant. The 2nd one was much better, but he couldnt tell why. So he asked this dude who spoke Vietanemese (sp?) and he said that the first one was dog and the 2nd was was baby dog. :p nasty!

never ate dog again. ;)

Duh, Austin
That wall rocked.

I'll remember not to use the Japan, China or Korea lines next week. Anyone need anything while I'm over there? Black Black gum?

Not to derail the thread, but this may be topical...

I heard this story from the monitor engineer from Godsmack, I cannot vouch for its' accuracy or truthfulness, but it is funny.

In Europe GS was touring with this giant 3 story construct at Front of house. Level 1 contained the sound equipment, Level 2 is for lighting and video, and level 3 is for the spotlights. The entire structure is composed of steel poles and decking, and takes quite a while to erect/tear down.

They were about halfway through taking the structure apart, when one of the local German crew guys says...(in English w/German accent)
"Ve are tired of putting zhe poles on the truck"

To which one of the assistant lighting techs (a guy who never said anything really, just did his job) perks up and says...
"Well, you guys didn't have a problem with that 30 years ago"

There was an immediate work stoppage, which continued until the guy who said that was escorted out of the building to the bus where he remained for the rest of loadout.
