		<description>I&#039;ve eaten many a strange thing, including kangaroo, but no rat.

Has a strong gamey taste, more protein per weight as well...

I think I need to cook some roo in the near future...

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Oh, God.  This isn&#039;t going to be another &quot;What Not to Cook...&quot; episode is it?

&quot;Gamey&quot; taste... sounds as if the kangaroo is to Australia as the moose is to Canuckia.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Woah, woah, woah Gingah! I never said I thought of you while showering. Let&#039;s not go there, eh?

Okay, here&#039;s the deal I won&#039;t talk about the shower anymore. No need to bring water into this discussion. I&#039;ll just refer to my ideas in a general sense going forward. I think that will work for both of us.

Let&#039;s just pretend I never mentioned hygiene. Uh, this is going nowhere fast, isn&#039;t it?

Moving on, my grandparents hail from Canuckia and I proudly carry on the tradition of adding eh? to the end of random sentences when the mood strikes me, eh? I am frequently asked if I come from da U.P., eh? No, I&#039;m from &quot;down state&quot; as they say.  The Motor City!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Ooh!  Detroit!  In that case, we&#039;re sorta almost closer than you think because the servers for Where the Walls are Soft are somewhere in the middle of Detroit.  Holy shit.  I CAN be in two places at once!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh Les, you know I&#039;ll compete once given a challenge. I did find this link that gave a couple different ideas including the coloring book idea: &lt;a href=&quot;http://wa.essortment.com/overcomingwrite_rtuq.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Overcoming Writer&#039;s Block&lt;/a&gt;

I always loved a brand new box of crayons, nice and sharp, strong yet supple. 

Surprisingly (or not), I came up with a viable idea for NaNoWriMo in the shower the other day. I really think it has legs and I&#039;m going with it. Again, I owe it to you Les. You are really turning into MY muse.

By the by, what country do you live in? You can&#039;t be an American when you spell &quot;coloring&quot; with a U. Unless you&#039;re attempting to throw me off track. I &quot;hear&quot; you in my head with a mid-western accent (like mine).

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  That could very well have been the link - works for me anyway.

I am from the great, grand Land of Freaking Cold:  Canuckia.  I don&#039;t know about an accent - I speak Gibberish mainly.

I really would rather you try to refrain from thinking of me in the shower, though.  Muse, or no, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.  ;-)&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>They may fart less, but they still will taste like a rat!

These people slay me.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  I&#039;m confused as to when you might have tasted kangaroo... or how you know they taste like &quot;rat&quot;.  Please, for the love of God, Mushy, don&#039;t enlighten me!&lt;/em&gt;</description>
