12. Hee hee!
But you wanted a conversation!

Erik Darling, Bob Carey and Alan Arkin wrote the popular version of "Day-O," a traditional West Indian folk song. They were then performing as "The Tarriers."

7. Ah, bigotry rears its ugly head

10. Thought this was gonna be a Japanese thread.
Sitting in a bar in Narita with a couple of buddies.
A young Japanese woman turns to me and says "Do you want to have a conversation?"
Sure.
Turns out she wanted to practice her English.
