Stupid Guest Tricks

I lived in Brasil for a few years and I talked to a lot of people who were Japanese immagrants. One of my roomates was Japanese and he combined some of the coolest Japanese food with Brasiliero food I ever had. It was great.

I noticed that during that last summertime Brazilian invasion. While not a majority, several of the kids were not originally of South American descent. It made for a double-take the first couple of times.

It explains where the idea of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes from. I would LOVE to try some Brazilian sushi, and other fusion food. Sounds extremely healthy and tasty, actually.

Thank you hobie! I was going to ask you, but bronchitias became my enemy. You are still my HERO

Hope you are doing okay. I'd call brochitis more of a frenemy for me. We get together almost once a year and visit for a few weeks, but somehow I always come off worse for the acquaintance. Feel better!

Well, I went down to the local arena, asked to see the manager man
he came from his office, said "son can I help you?"
I looked at him and said "Yes you can"

I wanna drive the Zamboni, I wanna drive the Zamboni

Now ever since I was young, it's been my dream
That I might drive a Zamboni Machine
I'd get that ice just as slick as can be
and all the kids would look up to me

I wanna drive the Zamboni, I wanna drive the Zamboni

The manager said "Son, I know it looks keen,
but that right there's one expensive machine
And I've got Smokey who's been driving for years ..."
About that time, I broke down in tears.

I wanna drive the Zamboni, I wanna drive the Zamboni
