Just because the guy got fired several years ago in Thailand doesn't he didn't learn anything or hasn't possibly become a good english teacher by now. He seems to write fairly well for an english teacher.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but for once I sort of agree with Steve.

have another drink and don't worry about it, Ying.

Is Mr. Potato still out in Jemseg? Man, that thing is almost as old as I am.

laogaiguk, maybe he finally realized what a sanctimonious wanker he was being all the time. Learning is lifelong after all.

Unfortunately I'm not drinking.

My brother and sister used to scare me when we drove by the big potato and say, "The potato man is going to get you!"

When I was a kid, taking a drive out to Mr. Potato was like, one of the most exciting things we could do on a Sunday afternoon. Sometimes we'd even take the long way and use the Gagetown ferry. Woot!

So actually writing something that is reasonable, not knee jerk, and actually seems to embody some reflection is Steve's idea of an April Fool's joke?

And yeah, stay on topic. Mr. Potato is about more than just potatoes after all.
