but I have never once thought “sushi sounds great right now”.

Because I have had some BAD Chinese food before. It’s really hit and miss.

it makes me sad when I someone and within two weeks of meeting them have to explain what fifteen-twenty different types of ethnic foods are like. I can’t imagine not experimenting/being exposed to lots of different foods.

And I’m not talking obscure foods either, I’m talking about like Thai and Viet and real Chinese (seriously, Panda Express != real Chinese)

Top Gear is a show, ostensibly about cars, on the BBC (its a British show). The presenters are hilarious, the challenges are immensely entertaining, and the show as a whole has enough appeal to draw in anyone with no interest in cars.

The problem is any show they produce here will have to compare to the original, and it would be nearly impossible to create a show as good without directly copying the show. An apples to apples comparison would marginalize the whole thing anyway, rendering it useless. If they reinvent the show instead, you’d then be forced to compare apples to oranges, and would obviously decide that the oranges are sodding useless and you’d rather have the apples.

in addition to his ability to comedically improvise in conversation on the fly is similar to the banter seen with Jeremy, Hammond and James. I’m really not a big late night fan, but Leno is the best possible person I could think of to host the show.

Leno-Carolla-Foust would have been far, far better than Carolla-Foust-GuyfromHGTV. Way more bantering opportunities that keep me entertained in transition with the Top Gear Challenges and Celebrity in a Reasonably Priced Car.

will haunt for me the rest of my life. I think Heim and Mengele came back from the dead to create that show as a test to see if he could uncover the single most unfunny event ever.
