In defense of peanut butter...

try getting the neighbor's dog to lick your balls with a spoonful of chummus.

Des Plaines, IL is a stones throw from where they filmed "The Breakfast Club. Now it's a police station.
We also have (a reconstructed version of) the first franchised McDonald's (which is now a museum that is never open...ever).

In an ironic twist, there's a McDonald's that isn't open all day, every day in America.

Perhaps you should ask bosk to reverse the "e" and "a" in the second half of your user name.

I live in Mount Airy, NC, the birthplace of Andy Griffith and the basis of the ficitonal town of Mayberry made popular by him.  Our economy thrives on Mayberry/Griffith tourism.

We also have the largest open-face granite quarry in the world.  It can be seen from space.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Honestly, that looks prettier than 90% of towns in Serbia 100% of towns in Croatia.

Corrected  :)
You two are crazy! :lol Maybe it's just the traditional Finnish inferiority complex, but I don't find Seinäjoki that pretty. Then again, when you build a town on a swamp area that's in a railway crossroads, the result can't be too beautiful.


Yes, seems we've found pleasure in ridiculing the terrible situation we're in, in terms of economy and society  :lol always nice to have some fellow people from former Yugoslavia on board  :D

and from what I see on photos from the net, seems that Seinäjoki has lots of green...... and having railway crossroads is better than having (almost) no functioning railway at all.....  ;)

I only listen to electro-post dubprog.  You've probably never heard of it.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
