Did I miss the whole time wasters of the week part on SP? I don’t recall movie title fail etc.
Jennifer’s bit about summer poutine was brilliant.

jessica’s really funny. From now on, I refuse to be on the SeoulPodcast unless she’s a co-panelist.

Roboseyo hoorah!
(NO, I did NOT look at the comment page hoping someone had said something nice about me. I have self-esteem, damnit!)

I actually really enjoyed the longer podcasts. This one was way too short for my liking. LOL. It was so enjoyable. I really loved the panelists.

About Rob’s flight back from Canada to Korea, and the pilot threatening to land the plane 5 hours from Tokyo if the people didn’t stop using the toilet… Land it where? Draw a line from Toronto to Tokyo, and 5 hours away from Tokyo is in the middle of the Pacific. I would have peed in his captain hat and screw the $100 voucher.

we were flying over alaska and the bering strait, so I’d have guessed anchorage, and/or somewhere in either northeast russia or northern Japan.
