Speaking of Ye Olde Battles one funny event took place in this town. During the Crimean war the brave English Navy sailed here and burnt down large quantities of tar, which was the major export of this city back then, during the sailing ship era. Too bad much of the tar had actually already been bought by the English themselves and was just waiting for to be shipped to England. So, in short, they came here and destroyed their own wares...
I love Montreal. I used to go there every year when I was little for 9 years straight. I don't remember much except for this really good steak I had.Originally Posted by gr3atfull
The only slightly interesting (at least to me, anyway) thing about the place I used to live was that the road right by me was 21 mile: the same 21 mile that's 13 miles north of 8 mile, the movie with Eminem. I dunno...I think it's slightly interesting at least.

My town has a lot of interesting things but I loved the chunnin exam we had last year (mixing real life with anime is bad nope?). What really is interesting is that here we have a terrorist group (well not only in my city but it has made a few terrorist acts here) but it only targets certain politics and writers. So like 60% of the ppl dont give a shit about it, they care but somehow they are used to it so they dont do a fuss about it.
My town has two universities on the same street and within 500 m of each other, thus University Avenue.
I am glad that you liked Montréal! Did you ever tried poutine? It is really delicious. If you ever come back there, make sure you buy it from La belle province, they have the best one ever!I love Montreal. I used to go there every year when I was little for 9 years straight.

Talking about history, I also forgot to mention that Montréal is the only city in Canada that was invaded by the army since it had a terrorist group that wanted the independence of Québec in 1970 (october crisis).
Anyone who eats gravy on chili fries is a fat ass. A FAT ASS!!

Don't know what you're talking about, poutine is the shit.
...except Burger King's. Don't ever order poutine from Burger King.
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you eat poutine once in a while, you wont become a fat ass. If you eat it every day, its normal you become fat!
Its common sense. I eat poutine once per week, and I am not fat.
Like McDonald's says, "If you eat a lot of food, you will get fat."
is this what you're talking about?
looks damn gross.
Yes that is poutine, but the cheese isn't done very well. It's supposed to melt onto the fries. It's actually very good.
Let's see...
My city is the one where that myspace emo-suicide kid ("do me a favore", if any of you have seen YTMND and whatnot) killed himself.
A pornstar used to live here, I think. O_o;
And its the current residence of a woman holding the Guinness record for most tattoos.
... And... that's it. No famous battles here. If anyone can guess the city, props to them.
Did a quick search: Mission Viejo, California?
I'm from Houston, Texas. There's lots of interesting things about Houston. Notably, it is the 4th biggest city in the U.S, is where NASA's Mission Control is located, and was where the Enron Corporation was based.
I'm currently living in Austin, the capital of Texas. Austin is a college town, home to the University of Texas, and apparently is known as the "Live Music Capital of the World".

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I don't claim my town because I wasn't born there (born in Vegas, thankyouverymuch), but seeing as I am now stuck in Illinois, my claim to fame is that I live on an old air force base - Chanute anyone? Anyway, the only good thing about it is that it's fairly quiet (er, ignoring the fact that there's a railroad not too far from my house), but going biking is cool because there are all kinds of deserted buildings around. It was really weird when I went on eBay and found old postcards for stuff I bike past. I guess it shouldn't be weird...but it is.
Oh, and Xan...man, every time I see that sig, I shudder.
