On the other side of the country. ā¦ why does BC get all the good stuff!
Iām going to say something controversial as always so brace yourself, but crepes are better than pancakes.
GTFO I donāt even know who you are right now.
WTF, why would you even think to say something like that to me.
I thought we were pals, Ren!!!
Am I dead to you now?
Iām just jelly you have IHOP.
No you still a bestie. Iām just concerned for your well-being, being all pro-crepe like that and disrespecting the pancake. Lines are just being crossed all over the place today, but I thought we all recognized that pancakes are sacred.
I has no pancakes I is french Canadian. All I has is crepes. Take pity on me!
I do not think my IHOP would deliver all the way up there, and they would absolutely be too cold by then.
hold on Iām going to google the closest IHOP. the border is like 45 minutes away I would totally get a passport for pancakes.
THEREāS ONE IN WATERTOWN!!
Thatās only an hour and 58 minutes away! now i just need a passport. But I might still be blacklisted at the border
Ok, well, you need to do that. I donāt know how to go about it because Iām not a Canadian, but if itās anything like America, then you can get one easy and infiltrate our nation to steal our greatest natural resource; IHOP food.
If your border blacklist is anything like my border blacklist, it shouldnāt be a problem. Canadian border people barely check anything.
Can i bring my own real maple syrup?
wellā¦ the last time i went through the border Iām pretty sure I got flagged as a drug muleā¦ funny storyā¦
Depends how close to Vermont youāll be. I think Watertownās far enough away, judging by the map, that the Vermontian Maple Syrup Police wonāt notice you.
I win!! Terrorist affiliations!!! Not really at all, but I was on a no-fly list for a few years because of a mix-up.
Very short story; my poppaās from Syria (both of my parents are, but itās his story), all legally immigrated back in the 50s. Poppa would visit the homeland from time to time, and during one trip he got flagged for all the trips to and from Syria. This happened aroundā¦ 2011? I think? I just remember they were cracking down. So him and his family (which obviously includes his only child, me) were all flagged. It lasted three years and I only found out about it during a background check for my job.
you do win, my dad and i just absolute idiots.
We um, have a P.O Box in Ogdensburg to avoid paying international shipping fees, but my whole family uses it. My cousin ordered some fabric to make cloth diapers out of and my dad and i were tasked with picking up the mail. Usually we unpack the mail so we can cross the border and not have to claim it, but this time we just hid this brown paper covered brick under the back seat.
Ogdensburg has a Walmart and sometimes my dad and i stop in to watch the amish buggies while enjoying super fattening American junk food, this time we decided to slam dunk and entire box of white powered mini donuts before disposing of the evidence.
We get to the border and border security says āDo you have anything to declare?ā and my dad says no, but my dumb a$$ high on sugar says āwhat about our mail?ā we were told to pull our car into the search station and we were asked to go sit inside while our car was searched. We were quickly informed that a suspicious white powder was found in our vehicle, and an armoured guard puts our paper brick on the counter and says āwhat am I going to find in this?ā and starts to cut it open with a knife in front of us while we had to keep our hands on the counter where they could see.
He was shocked when he opened the package and found various stacks of care bear fabric. We were let off with a warning that we have to declare our mail and pay duty.
Ok, no, OMFG, you absolutely win. Holy carps, REN!!!
That is freaking hilarious!!! Holy carps!!! Iām literally dying over here!!! And in-game too because I was laughing so hard I forgot to mount up and fly and a felguard killed me and itās fine because OMFG!!! The powdered donuts!!!
Can you imagine if I get a passport and drive down to the border, and they ask āmaāam whatās the nature of your visit to the United States of America today?ā
And all I can say is āPancakes.ā
I mean, if youāre talking to an American border patrol person? Theyāll probably get it.
Just, yāknowā¦ When they ask if you want any powdered sugar on your pancakes, the correct answer for you is āNO!!!ā
ILU Ren.
With my history, they will probably think Pancakes is a code word.
Come to Australia if you want great coffee. There is a reason why Starbucks failed to set up shop with their ā'Merica!!!ā coffee here in Down Under.
When I get likes back, I owe you one.
So hereās what Iām thinking.
Iām thinking we need a Story Forum world trip. Julieās near my work for pancakes, Denona will guide us to the best coffee place in Kangarooland, Sledge can hook us up with someā¦ Polar bears? IDK. I think Alaska has wolves, so weāll grab one or two of those for Micah.
Donessā¦ Hmmā¦
Doness, where are we going for you?
Yeah about thatā¦
I donāt drink coffee Canāt stand the smell.
Same with seafood. The smell makes me sick.
